Hello readers, i have recently purchased a lovely second hand e-bike with a bafang m560 mid drive motor and has been riding perfect for first few months of riding and i messed with some controls awhile ago maybe 2 months (stupid me i know!) and not sure if that was why but my motor has started grinding on itself and getting stuck when i try to pedal off or am in high gear going up hills and i have been told could be electrical, which is a problem as i know next to nothing about fixing a bafang bike motor let alone if it is fixable.

But if anyone can fix-look at my motor or knows anyone or bike shops that look at them around brighton and hove or hundred miles or so away, as i can drive in my van.

as i have called up almost every bike shop i could find around my area and none of them work on bafang motors or batteries as they can run internal diagnostics on them.

so if anyone can help obviously i would pay for the help and would be appreciated thanks all who read!!.

Yes, but he should be able to tell the difference between cassette pawls slipping and the motor losing sync.

What settings are accessible for you to change? Could you upload photos of what settings there are, then perhaps forumites could advise?
