Hey guys, I just wanted to bring closure to this thread for anyone else who might have this problem. The solution for me was to buy a new motor since the old one either had a bad hall sensor and prevented it from going 20, or it just wasn't strong enough. I bought a new motor and it works great...

Well when I first got the ebike, the red and black hall wires were switched but I didn't know until about 2 weeks ago. I switched them to the right order but its probably too late isn't it? :(

Sorry guys I have been busy lately and haven't been able to do much with the bike . So I redid the hall sensor test and no matter what I did (switch phase wires, hall wires, spinning the wheel backwards, forwards, slow, fast, AC, DC) I didn't ever see the voltage drop from 5 volts to 0 or...

yes, i tested each color like that however they didn't change from 5 and 0 volts

Alright so I did two tests: throttle and hall sensor. I got the tutorials from here: http://www.ebikes.ca/learn/troubleshooting.html For the throttle test I got .8 volts with no throttle and with the throttle it slowly increased up to 3 volts before I could the motor stop spinning faster and...

i just tried running the bike without the hall and trying different combos. nothing changed except that I have to have move forward a bit for the motor to start working. I also noticed on the side of my motor that it says "HBS-36v500w" (From what i have researched I have a "golden motors" brand...

so I added some pics of the inside of my motor. I wasn't able to make the two first pics small so sorry. I wasn't able to get any good pics of the other side inside the motor however it is basically the same except on the inside there is also an engraving of the # "24" and "GM 2014". My question...

alright so i tested all 36 combinations of the phase and hall wires and this is what i got. the only way for the bike to go forward is for either the blue, green, or yellow phase wire to be connected to the same color and the other to be connected to the opposite color. ex: green to green, blue...

Wesnewell: Alright, well I just realized that on the wiki there is a sort of flow chart below the first flow chart for testing the sensors and phase wires. So I will try all those combos tomorrow. nutspecial: alright I will keep those suggestions in mind for if all else fails. ahh yes I...

When I messed around with the hall and phase wires I tried different combinations of the wires connecting to different wires. With the phase wires, they either made the motor spin forwards or backwards. I didn't sense any difference in the amps being drawn or anything else. With the hall sensor...

Alright so I did the spin test where I do it when it is full and when it is almost out of juice and from I can tell, it seemed to be slightly slower. Now I have no idea if it is the controller, throttle, or motor :cry:

I know it is kinda annoying that I had to adjust it to work. So I messed around with the phase wires and hall wires and nothing happened. I tried shorting the red and green throttle wires and it budged a little and then stopped. However, when ever I spaced them apart and put them on my finger so...

Alright, so I will try out the throttle- wheel test before and after a long ride. I will also go mess around with the phase wires some more and if the might do something. For my hall sensor which is the one with 5 wires, should I mess around with the sequencing of the blue, green, and yellow wires?

So here is the pictures of my controller. I have to use the link because if i were to upload them here it one picture would take up half the screen :P http://imgur.com/a/qiT1N#9q8djgJ I looked at the phase sequencing and sensor wiring and i changed them around a bit but nothing seemed to...

Alright so i opened up my controller and i found nothing that looks like a limiter wire or a jumper. It is also good to mention that when i first got the kit the first problem i had was that it went backwards as i pulled the throttle. The solution took me a long time but it was very simple. I...
