I get the impression from your words, that someone has somehow put it back together, "arse about face"......is that even possible? What say you? Andy

He kicked away burning bits of the battery from the tree, so he still deserves his medal. Andy

I think many households could say roughly the same, but as long as you are around when charging, and you make sure that any that get deformed for some mechanical reason are disposed of safely, you should be OK. Lithium is simply dangerous, and if it starts burning, about the only way to put it...

Horrifying comes to my mind. The Guy who bravely kicked it away from the tree, deserves a medal for quick thinking...... Sad that the rider ended up injured, but hopefully he will heal up quickly, but a broken leg is far from funny. I wonder if the battery builder takes any responsibility after...

I am watching this topic, just to see how long it takes for you to be up and running again. Other than Neal, I see no useful posts today that have helped you in the slightest....... Thankfully, tomorrow is a new day.... Andy

Simply ask yourself these questions first, before I attempt to clarify why I mentioned it:- "who managed to screw up the wiring to both fields and halls?" "Who was very sparse with information at first?" "Who apparently did not understand what he was trying to do?" The answer is that you did...

I agree 100%, I wrongly assumed that the Hall effect sensors had not been interfered with, as the information given was sparse at best in the initial posts! But with the knowledge that both field and Hall wiring has been changed around "willy nilly" (it seems!), it still should be a fairly easy...

No, I think that you earned the GOTSCHA by changing too much, too quickly, without (your words) fully understanding the implications! You are not alone, many go the same/similar path with BLDC motors. The next time, you will do it correctly, as your learning curve improves! Best of luck. Andy

You must do one or the other, swapping phase wires and hall effect wires is wrong. As it basically negates what was done, or changes too much, Neal's diagram appears to be correct, and a good place to start. To get the hall effect rotation correct, can you get them back as they were? Then test...

I just posted a video showing exactly the same method, its dead simple. Assuming is a 3 field motor. If it is a 6 or more field motor, which he neglected to mention, its slightly more complicated. It then depends on just how many motor wires (not counting Hall effect sensor wiring), are coming...

I did read, but you swapped wrongly, that is why I gave you exact details, how to do it correctly. OK? You swapped all three, that leaves the direction of rotation, just as it was before!! Its a 3 field motor !GOTCHA! That many fail to understand.... Watch this:- Andy

IMHO, it would be best to have a Li-ion charger....This will give the best life for the battery. Andy

Its simple, the modern brushless motor is basically a 3 phase motor, with 3 fields, being fed DC, to one field at a time, causing the motor to revolve. So simply swap any two of the three phase wires, the easiest ones to swap with each other, and leave the third wire exactly where it is now...

It can damage parts as well. Plus (I do not have them myself) hydraulic brakes may leak fluid or get air bubbles. Though you need to ask someone who knows them properly, I am happy with cable disks! I bought my bike stand from Aldi, maybe 10 years ago, for the UK equivalent of about 20 UK...

I have found some videos that will hopefully help you further:- You could use a bike stand, to allow the rear wheel to be away from the floor. Also, hopefully you have a reasonable tool kit, so as not to damage anything, including yourself! best wishes Andy

I expect its something simple, probably a brake is maladjusted. Un-adjust the rear disk brake completely and see if the wheel then spins freely backwards (some motors do not spin freely forwards due to their design.) Also, on some bikes, it is possible to save time (and trouble) by repairing the...

Adding some soap to the water, promotes easily seen bubbles. Once marked clearly, the rest of the soap and water may be taken off with meths and lastly a hair dryer to get rid of the water.... Cleaning well with meths (easily available) is always good in helping glues to bond well. It also picks...

I myself use Full Synthetic motor oil, and it seems to work well, as I have basically not noticed any difference to expensive chain lubricants.... The oil is expensive if you are buying and using liters of the stuff, but due to the small amounts needed for a chain, it still works out cheap! I...

Also, its possible that the controller is setup to "try" and supply more current than the battery can supply, probably due to its age and possible lack of maintenance. Setting a lower current (if possible), may stop the problem, and after a few full charges and discharges, might bring the...

I like yoour query, though I myself have no experience of "Glue less" (sounds like "Clueless"?:mad: ), though the glue being unusable has happened to me, so I am most interested in any useful replies you might get. One thing that was taught to me by my Father (probably 60+ years ago!), was that...
