Hi all, it's been a while since I've been around (mostly because my ebike has been running like a champ for the last year) but now I have a problem and I'm hoping to get some suggestions on possible causes/solutions.
Kit details: WE BL36 sensorless motor, Headway 36v20ah, all WE stock components (controller/throttle)
So a week or so ago, I had just gotten off my bike at home after a normal ride home and decided to go to the mailbox. Turned around and hit the throttle, and the front wheel did this awful shuddering thing - it reminded me of what I've read about broken hall sensors/sensor wires, but my hub is sensorless.
It felt/sounded like some of the magnetic pulses inside the motor were mistimed or misdirected - it seems like it wanted to lock the wheel, or shake it back and forth, even if i was rolling forwards. I put the bike inside and went to ride it to work the next day, no issue. Yesterday, after riding it for another week, it did the shudder at speed, which scared the piss out of me, so I haven't ridden it since. Any ideas on what would cause this behavior? Thanks fellas.
