I'm getting really fed up of my ebikes not being reliable. What do you feel the most reliable parts are.
I currently have a 5km steep hill to climb as my commute. 5000KM or so most years.
So far I have had the following Fail on my ebikes, some of them i'm sure avoidable. The cost is not the biggest issue, it's the time it takes to diagnose swap 10 connectors because nothing is standardized.
Failures:
x5304 > All rusted out failed halls (learned to store ebike inside always)
9 Continent Rear (Rim failed and cracked)
9 Continent Rear with replacement ebikes.ca rim (had to keep adjusting spokes, spokes busting every week because motor spoke holes were worn and rounded)
9 Continent Rear Hall sensors failed because i decided to have it drilled and use boeshield as ebikes.ca suggested
V1 Ezee front 26" hub motor, Seems like hall sensor failure.
Mac rear 10T, Very twisted Axle because only had torque arm on one side. Side cover screws stripped because they are Not torx or hex.
Throttle that came with mac kit, just decided to quit one day
JST-SM Throttle connectors (many pulled out wires, also nice and green and corroded, especially dangerous with throttle cable, tried my best to waterproof but snow and slush manages to find its way in)
2x ping 2 amp chargers
2 ping batteries (premature death)
2 nicad batteries (premature death)
After spending many hours the past couple months adding dr bass torque arms etc. Now today my new MAC 10T hub motor started ticking(vibration) when throttle is on. Only put maybe 200km on this kit. Feels like hall sensor, maybe stripped gear or bad fet though? Bike still can take me up the hill.
Parts I've had really good success with:
Em3ev A123 Triangle Pack
Em3ev 5Amp Charger
Em3ev Alex DM24 26" Rim with black spokes
Anderson Power Poles
Hxt 4mm connectors
Are sensorless controllers where it is at? Can geared hubs work well with sensorless controllers?
I really wish hall sensor wires used bullet connectors or Anderson instead of JST-SM or that horrible square white connector.
