I have a 8000W QS 273 13" hub motor.
A few weeks ago I rolled unknowingly a fair deep pothole at maybe 3 mph, the impact was spine breaking! I had more than ideal tyre pressure which certainly would not have helped. I couldn't help but think that could damage have occurred to the motor, maybe the stator briefly hitting the windings etc?
I don't know if it is in my head, but at times I feel like the bike has lost some immediate acceleration or response. Sometimes I feel like that motor hum you get at 2 - 3mph is occurring at higher speeds where it didn't before like at 20mph then 30mph?
Has anyone heard of an impact causing internal damage, or am I just being a bit paranoid?
