Moma eMTB Motor Upgrade Issue – Motor Cuts Out After Few Seconds
Hello everyone,
I’m having a problem with my Moma eMTB and I’d really appreciate some advice.
Original Specs:
Rear motor: AKM 95RX 250W (brushless)
Battery: 48V 6.25Ah (6250mAh) – although I’m not fully confident about this, based on this discussion:
Controller: KZQW22A
What Happened:
Unfortunately, my original motor got damaged (long story ), so I had to replace it.
I tried to find the same 250W motor but couldn’t, so I bought:
Replacement motor: AKM 95RX 350W
I installed it on the bike, and everything fits properly.
The Problem:
When I start pedalling, the motor activates normally, but:
It makes a repeated clicking/strange noise (very loud/ and louder)
After a few seconds, it cuts out
Then after pedaling again it works again with the clicking noise and stops again....
I also tried another motor (500W), and I get exactly the same issue.
My Questions:
Now I’m confused about where the problem is:
Is my controller not compatible with higher wattage motors (350W / 500W)?
Could the controller be damaged?
Could it be a battery or voltage/current limitation issue?
Or is there something wrong with the wiring, hall sensors, or connectors?
I don’t have much electrical knowledge, and I really don’t want to keep spending money without knowing what the real problem is.
Any advice on how to diagnose this properly would be greatly appreciated.
What should I check first before buying more parts?
