My e-bike hub motor (48v) cuts out after only turning the wheel for a few seconds. I need to turn the throttle all the way off and on again to get the wheel turning again. SO, twist throttle and the motor turns the wheel for few seconds, motor stops turning wheel, twist off throttle, twist on throttle and motor turns wheel for another few seconds.
The voltage only drops down about 1v when running (reading taken via controller input). Well above the LVC. The LED unit on the handlebars shows all 4 lights lit the entire time. When the motor is turning turning it has full power.
I disconnected the brake shutoff wires.
I used another set of batteries.
Added another battery to increase initial voltage to 59.
Tried another throttle.
Tried another controller. Both were 48v controllers that are ok to 60v.
Of course checked battery and other connections (many times).
Checked wires for obvious damage.
Soldered wires that may have been a problem.
Put a new power connector on the controller.
This is my 4th bike conversion. This one I bought for my wife, but then she died of cancer, so I switched it to my bike with the same size tires. Had the problem from the minute I switched. The delay was long enough where the warranty (if there ever was one) no longer applies.
Does this sound like something inside the hub? Some kind of sensor or something? I keep going over the wires and connectors again and again hoping to find something, and I am not. I am thinking a sensor problem or something.But heck, I have been wrong before. It is how I learn.
