    Trike and a big guy with Parkinsonism

    Guys, sorry I haven't responded until now. My friends been back in the hospital for almost 60 days now and between my long shop hours and visiting I've hardly even seen my wife and have had to cut back on even seeing my granddaughter. Thank goodness I have a very patient family unit. I'll be...

    Trike and a big guy with Parkinsonism

    No, Im not the big guy however my business partner is and he has been in and out of the hospital for nearly two years now and to keep things relevant but short he has dealt with being in a coma, removal of parts of his large intestine and small intestine and because of a oversight at the...

    em3ev - controller needs to be changed or re-programmed?

    I won't be much help but when I was researching this mid drive I ran across a lot of posts dealing with the controller and why they were replacing them prior to the new batch that just came out. I know it's a pain but if you have a chance use the search feature, I believe you'll have enough to...

    Crystalyte APM Setting Change - Now No Power

    Absolutely identical with what happened to me. I just purchased a nice condition used bike with a 5305 motor and the rest of the stuff that comes with the Electric rider kit and the previous owner had the wheel size set to 26 so I set it to 28 and the next day I went for a ride. Im a bit spacey...

    Axle partially spun in the dropout, could it cause this issu

    I spied an ad in the Colorado Craigslist, I live in Wyoming. Anyways I figured road trip! Me and the wife drove 4.5 hours to buy this bike. I had talked with the owner and the gal took all the pics I wanted and answered all my questions. She said the bike had a little over 30 miles on it and it...

    Axle partially spun in the dropout, could it cause this issu

    I'll see if I have some suitable material to make that key tonight. So that would obviously be an issue with the wheel trying to move under power? I hope you know how much I appreciate your input. Im just a noob with working on bikes much less working with an electric bike. Dan L.

    Axle partially spun in the dropout, could it cause this issu

    Thanks Cal! So one keyway on both sides? Would you know of a source for these? I was thinking perhaps electric rider. So without the keyway I should still be able to test run the wheel on the vice? Thanks! Dan L.

    Axle partially spun in the dropout, could it cause this issu

    UPDATE! Took this to a buddies house he is an ex bike mechanic, ex motorcycle mechanic and currently a Master electritian. The first thing he noticed that I missed was the covers have been off previously (hmm) while inspecting the wheel I noticed that it is not a 3540 but a 5305 72v model...

    Axle partially spun in the dropout, could it cause this issu

    Thanks Tench, The video sorta kinda shows the rear caliper off the bike and it wasn't rubbing on the fender HOWEVER I did notice that at some point it did rub against the motor case right on the side of the motor. The mark is only a few inches long not completely circular. So just put one axle...

    Axle partially spun in the dropout, could it cause this issu

    The bike did have a sort of TA but it looks odd and ineffective. Good Lord it is very shallow, was really glad that an issue popped up and I had a chance to see that before things really went south! Tear down is in order if not for the sole reason to see what shape the motor is in. I never...

    Axle partially spun in the dropout, could it cause this issu

    Here we go! It looks like there is plenty of room and I suppose that's the case but its pretty tough to get the axle in there but once its in theres all that extra space that the axle gets twisted in. I will do my best to short the phase wires tomorrow and report back. Dan L.

    Snapped some pics but then I had to walk the dog and grab dinner! Soon as I'm done with that I'll post them.

    Axle partially spun in the dropout, could it cause this issu

    Phase wires seems to be the consensus but because it doesn't cog the whole way some think bearings or rust. Just don't want to have to separate the motor unless I have to! I'll try and put the wheel back on right now. Thank you for your reply. Dan L.

    Axle partially spun in the dropout, could it cause this issu

    It appears to be sealant, not sure if it's conductive. I would like to point out this bike was built for a customer at an electric bike shop in Fort Collins Co I believe. I'm the new second owner.

    Axle partially spun in the dropout, could it cause this issu

    Almost forgot, does this look as it should? To my novice eyes it looks like there was a secondary hole drilled into the axle for no reason.

    Axle partially spun in the dropout, could it cause this issu

    Quick rundown of the issue. Bike was operating just fine then I stopped for a second to check something on my APM, went to take off and the bike barely moves. Checked a couple things and then the bike wouldn't power up at all. All the readings were great but the wheel wouldn't move when giving...

    DD Motor issue Barely spins

    Just talked with Electric Rider and they are pretty sure its either rust in the wheel or two wires touching around or near the axle. Im thinking it must be the wires although everything looks great on the outside (no rub marks or cuts) because I was just riding it and the bike was running...
