Gah, still doesn't run :lol: I cut out a good piece of cable + a connector (because there wasn't enough cable to leave it there). Rerouted the cable through the axle and soldered everything back. One of the Hall sensors now show 3.3V regardless of the wheel spinning or not. This is the same...

Think I finally located the issue... Where the cable enters the motor axle if I twist enough it gets worse and the motor won't go at all. THEN one of the hall sensors measurement shows strange values. So apparently it was bent too much or the chinese cable wasn't too good to begin with.

Ok, some more testing has been done :!: I ran the motor without any wheel/clutch/gears and the problem is still there, so those can definitely be ruled out now. Video of how it behaves if you want to check it out: https://youtu.be/164MotbeMUo I use the hot air gun and get it going at some...

A small update to my thread... Tested the Hall sensors like this: https://www.ebikes.ca/documents/HallSensorTestingFinal.pdf and they all gave the 5V pulses which should mean they are ok?! However I don't think it's the clutch either, everything looks good and is cleaned 100% with brake...

Hey, thanks for the tips! Just assumed it was something mechanical that was failing, never thought a sensor issue would express itself like this! I will have to read up on how to test those Hall sensors. Yes, there are springs in there but they all look fine to me.

Hello forum! My geared hub motor, front wheel 500W, bought from Ali about a year ago has developed a problem! When I apply the throttle it has a rattling sound and barely moves. Sometimes it comes around after a while and then works for the rest of the trip. I'm pretty sure it's the...
