Having no luck in working out the issue with a crystalyte HS2440 motor (See Thread http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=39530)
I have since purchased a Bafang BPM 350w motor to use instead and although I have had some issues with the Bafang motor (Internal slipping) when the Bafang motor was working properly it was twice as strong as the Crystalyte hooked into the same controller/battery setup. I have an incline in the undercover parking in my apartment block which the Crystalyte would stall going up. The Bafang easily pulled up this incline with the exact same setup. This has lead me to the conclusion that the HS2440 has a problem with its internal wiring/windings. The motor performed the same with both sensored and sensorless controller.
I have contacted Crystalyte about the motor and the performance or lack there of and received some correspondence until I suggested the motor must have an internal fault. I have not had any response since even with further emails so I'm assuming they are wiping their hands of it.
Useless to me as is I'm now going to pull the motor apart and would like some input from those with experience in DD motor maintenance building etc.
What to inspect internally once motor is apart? Motor has been tested with both sensored and sensor less controllers with the same result so I think its safe to assume the halls are not the issue.
What tests could I carry out to determine if motor has been wired/wound correctly?
Any suggestions or help would be great.
Cheers Toby
