Hello everyone,
recently I build up this beauty:
It's an amazing bike to go on the trails, however, I'm experiencing very strange behavior.
Most of the time, the motor does not work or outputs very little inconsistent power, it feels like it's not sensing that I'm pedaling.
Sometimes it's outputting some little power, then stops for a couple of seconds, then outputs again, then stops at all.
Other times, it does the opposite, outputs a lot of power even on the slightest pedal and even when I've come to a full stop it's "jumping around". I must admit when it does that it's quite fun to ride, feels super powerful although a little unsafe.
Few times it has been working as I would expect, but that was like 5% of the time...
The most common scenario is, I turn on the motor, everything lights up, and on pedaling after some delay the motor spins slightly a couple of rotations and stops...
I try restarting, changing the amps settings and keeping it between 16-20, usually without much effect.
I've ordered the 48V 750W VLCD5 model from PSWPower,
however, when opened the motor this is what I saw:
Have they send me the wrong motor? I've read that the motors are the same, only the firmware is different.
The battery is 48V 13,8Ah made using Samsung cells, and can output up to 40amps.
Now I'm looking for a way to find the cause of the issue and fix it.
Has anyone experienced similar issues? Is this something that's happening to the motor when misused somehow?
Is it possible to be related to the battery?
Any ideas on what to try, in order to identify the cause of the problem?
Thank you guys,
your help is much appreciated!

EDIT
What I've learned so far:
------------------------------
-The speed sensor doesn't matter, I can even disconnect it.
-The AMP setting is irrelevant, it's set in the factory
-Does the 48V motor has the 36V sticker inside? - PSPower claim it's normal, the controller is the same.
What I'm trying to find out at the moment:
-How can I check if my motor really is 48V or it's 36V?
-Is it the torque sensor? Will try replacing it to see if that helps
