Hi Everyone
I am trying to take the front motor apart from my Swytch bike as it seems to have an electrical problem, probably a short of some sort. (Basically when going over bumps or knocking the top of the tyre the wheel either stops briefly or else it runs when it shouldnt run. Eg standing next to the bike it suddenly jerks forward, rather dangerous.) There's basically no shop in Sydney who will work on an e bike unless it's one of there own ones due apparently to insurance issues?
Anyway the front motor only seems to have 3 small screws that position the outer case onto the motor so not sure how the whole thing comes apart. There certainly aren't any screws around the rim. I'm assuming the axle and nuts have to be removed but it is not even obvious where the motor casing opens from? Could it be some sort of sealed unit that can't be opened? Has anyone tried to take one of these motors apart. I'll put a few pics up asap
ps
Pete
btw Swytch are very reluctant to admit a possible fault in the motor Of course.
