I must have just had some bad luck with quality controls with my set up. The first three months were pretty rough
Started out with hitting a rock with the rear tire mashing the silly spring in to the phase wires. Opened motor, repaired wires, threw away spring protector and wired wires back and out of harms way:
Bike back up and running and a couple of days later a phase wire breaks in the motor. Motor back apart and repaired:
One week later and snap goes a connecting Phase wire. Was able to get connector apart and re-solder:
A couple of weeks later the bike wont power up. Controler on/off switch gone bad: Replaced switch:
No Picture
A couple of weeks later and my ping is acting all kinds of weird. Opened battery up and re-soldered broken wire:
Multiple broken spokes and tire getting out of round due to a Chinese wheel that is so cheap that wallmart would laugh at it: New rim and spokes on order.
Multiple flat tires, some due to operator error or bad luck some due to cheap wheel . Down hill tube and home made old tube rim strip installed. Better tires on order.
I started with a real old bike so I had several issues that I had/am working on but these problems would probably have existed if I was just peddling. I have been an avid rider all my life so these weren't anything I couldn't handle.
All these were in the first few months, pretty frustrating, but I endeavored to persevere . It's now six months and 1600 or so miles later and I have been relatively trouble free for a a couple of months now. *knocks on wood*
