I have a brushed, 2nd gen Etek R on my electric motorcycle, with a LiFePO4 48V 20A pack. The charger timer died and overcharged the pack and melted it down, on top of the Motor (HIGH Temps!). We have a new / used LiFePO4 48V 20A pack now, and have had the AllTrex controller factory Checked (OK). I suspect that there is something wrong with the motor, though I replaced the brushes. It just doesn't have much power, and when full power is applied under full load, it groans. Could the meltdown temps have de-magnetized the motor? Is it trash? I have checked the amp draw under load and am seeing adequate amperage (max running = 55A, momentary peaking at 100A). Are there any other basic trouble shooting tests I can do? Where can I send this motor for test, service repair, etc? (The dealer can't do this - only wants to sell me a new one).
Thanks!
Thanks!
