    Turning pedal assist into "constant on."

    Excellent reply. Thank you. I'll check out bypassing the sensor. That sounds like a pretty good idea. As to photo's of the motor, I thought I had included a couple. Here are a few that might help. :) As for the controller, I'll have to take a pic later this evening and post them then...

    Turning pedal assist into "constant on."

    First of all, to all who replied. THANK YOU! I'd like to explain the reasons for my question. The first of course is because I think it would be cool! I To be able to just sit back, relax, and let the motor take me where I want to go would be awesome. You see, I don't drive a car. At all...

    Turning pedal assist into "constant on."

    I'm wondering....? I have a generic Chinese electric bike that is pedal assist. On the crank, in between the gears and the frame, is a little box (sensor) that's connected to the "controller." Attached to the axle is a small disk that rides a very small distance from this sensor. The disk has...

    Hello. Thank you in advance to everyone who reads this and responds with any helpful information or advice. Okay, I've got a generic Chinese ebike that has rear hub motor drive system. This motor has a clutch/planetary gear setup that transfers the torque from the axle, through the gears, to a...

    Hello, I just checked the outer ring.....No dice. It's as firmly locked into place as a nerd waiting in the ticket line for next years Comicon convention. As for the Sun gear, I assume it's the one in the middle that the others rotate around? (I'm sure I've written many papers about this...

    UPDATE!!! The 'spinning" sound has been identified!!! I don't think the problem is with the clutch. Apparently the external motor housing is turning inside the wheel housing causing the "spinning" sound and diverting the torque from the axle/wheel to this housing. So I now need to find out...

    WOW! That was an awesome reply! ..." but that cogging should always be there. It sounds like yours is free sometimes and cogging sometimes. NG." Exactly! ..."Slop can be 'normal." Okay, good to know. So... there most likely isn't any way to visually detect the condition of one of these parts...

    First of all, thank you for all of the replies, especially the last one. I haven't finished reading it yet, but from what I have so far it appears as if it is going to have some very relevant information. Why am I posting before I read it then? lol... Because I recently performed another...

    "Rolling" the bike in these directions is not possible as I have the wheel off the bicycle for inspection and testing. It is just too much of a pain in the arse to keep putting it all together, with every screw, mounted onto the bicycle just to see if there has been any change. I have been able...

    To finish your reply, In your reply you stated that; ..."When assembled, there should be no resistance turning the wheel as if the bike is moving forward." Answer: There is no resistance turning the wheel in this direction. ..."You should only feel resistance when turning it backwards."...

    Hello and thank you for your reply. I'll do my best to answer your questions and perhaps together we cxan come up with a solution that works. Okay. 1. No, I did not change any of the wiring, nor have any wires come loose, nor are any broken or cut in any way that might cause one or more to...

    The "SPINNING" sound has been identified, the problem has been solved! The problem is with the clutch. The cause of the sound is because the external motor housing is turning inside the wheel housing causing the distinctive noise. This is diverting the torque from the axle/wheel to the...

    Uuuhhh. I hope no too then... Please. I really just don't know what to do next.

    Okay then... So, how would I go about checking the motor and or it's component pieces? As I said, everything "looked" okay once I had a power source going through the system, I had throttle lights that came on and lit more or less as I added or lessened throttle movement. But on the road, I...

    hello. I searched the forum for this, and although it's probably a common question, I wasn't able to find exactly what I need. I've got a (Liberty I think) somewhat generic Chinese ebike. I had questions at first concerning my battery setup, but have since created a good 24V power-pack that puts...

    First of all, thank you for your response. I've got a good feeling about this. Hopefully, I'll follow your instructions correctly and we'll get this thing going yet! I'll take your responses one by one. ..."How did you get the voltage to rise with a 18v charger?" I don't know.. Wasn't it...

    A friend just dropped this off.

    Okay, I've got your run of the mill generic Chinese E-bike. Being a generic, it's been rather difficult trying to figure out exactly what it is I have, and what to do to get it running. Part of the reason for this is the lack of identifying information on the bike or any of it's parts. Here's...

    I've now reached a point where I'm going to close this and start another post. Come to find out, the problem was the fusible link in the cap of the battery pack. Those two wires poking out of the ignition switch was the previous owners attempt to bypass this failed link. I've since removed and...

    Now were starting to get somewhere. Thank you. Please take no offense, but the last few replies are a bit closer to the help that I've been looking for. I just really didn't think it was such a good idea for me to be taking something all apart like that battery pack if I didn't absolutely have...

    A friend just dropped this off.

    Okay... You said, "The bike should work when the battery is above 21v," Responding to what I had said earlier, "I'm at 26.3V on the top, and 23.4 on the other positive." According to my understanding, with the readings I presented, minus ..."but if any single cell is below 3v, the BMS will shut...

    Well, I was given a little bit of info that I added to the other pieces I've learned and discovered that it has two (2) batteries inside the housing. This made sense to me as my local NAPA dealer and myself kind of wondered if that wasn't the case. It also would make sense of the readings I got...

    Here's a picture of the label, although you can't read it. This is how it reads: Hi-energy battery XH259-10J DC 26.9v Phylionbattery
