    BMC 50amp controller light codes

    So I just called BMC there in chatsworth, ca and spoke with a Mr. Chandu Vanjani. He says there are no blinking lights in their controllers! This is not building my confidence in this company. He doesn't know his own product. :oops: They have a good product but if they can't get their customer...

    Help my bike does not work

    That puts me at a lost then. I don't know what to do. I replaced the hall sensors and the phase wires and it doesn't work. Though the code on the controller has changed. Which is nice but I still don't know the codes. Maybe it's somthing in the controller???? If only BMC had better customer...

    Help my bike does not work

    I finaly got new hall sensors. I installed them and no luck - but the flashing light on the controller is now a different indication. I also checked the wires again and noticed there seemed to be a short between the phase wires. I removed them and tested the phases in the windings. All three...

    Better MPG, How Good Is Good Enough?

    During the oil embargo back in the 70's Brazil started their ethenol program. The problem with ethenol is to creat new farms and not use existing as this will drive up the price of corn, sugar, etc. When Brazil did this it scared OPEC. When they broke the embargo one guy began the meeting with...

    Bike no go - do not know why!

    Thanks for the reply's. It seems that it is the hall sensors. Does anyone know what one I need? Where I can get one? I have mutilated the bread board a little as well. Anyone know where to get one of those? It is the 1000 watt bmc v3 motor. Thanks

    Help my bike does not work

    So I came to the conclusion that yes if it doesn't change voltage than it is a bad hall sensor. And surprise no where to buy here on the island. Does anyone know what one I need? Where I can get one? The "fechter's" thread is not the same hall sensor. I have mutilated the bread board a little...

    Help my bike does not work

    http://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3720 Informative thread. thanks. I will pull the cover plate off and retest the sensors or just use one of the strong magnets I have to wave past it. Important question if it does show a high voltage but does not toggle then it is bad?

    Help my bike does not work

    I will read the thread (fechter's). The phase wires are fine. I had already checked them. It is a 52 volt battery pack. So what I am hearing from Ypedal is that I need to open it up and spin it by hand. Thanks I didn't think of the freewheel. All wires are fine from internal of the motor to...

    So my I let my buddy ride the bike and he bailed only after 20 feet in puddle. He smashed the wires coming out of the axle. It is a BMC V3 motor and the BMC 50A controller. So I just finished re-wiring it. I have checked and triple checked the wires. The thing doesn't move. I opened the back...
