Ebike axle wiring

Because the insulation on the wires is no good. Definitely not strong. That's why I am blaming the materials. Now chill, man.

Very ancient proverb: "It is a bad workman blames his tools"

Really laser cutting not better than a cutting torch.

I find a simple hammer and plyers quite useful. Let's not forget Vice Grips.

Is funny people bothered to offer tons expert advise but dude can't be bothered solder couple of wires

Well this is just a hobby for me. I am not an obsessed person nor a "workman." I.e. I don't make money off this, I just like riding bicycles. I've gotten everything to work and decent crimps. I have 5000 miles so far on this kit. I can prove it if need be. I certainly believe and I am sure many others will agree that there are varying quality of tools and materials, the better ones being the ones that cost more. Not everybody has all the money in the world to pour into their ebikes!

Seriously man? what's your problem. Its actually 6 fat phase wires and 10 small hall wires. The motor has to be overhualed and the proper way of doing this requires soldering the phases directly to the windings. Everybody on here says that requires a large soldering iron. Such an iron I do not have and starts at $100 on amazon! Soldering always gives me a headache! The fumes are irritating! even with a fan!

Soldering is actually a SKILL, you SHOULD READ THE EXPERT ADVICE ON HERE. I went through and read. every. single. comment. Truth be told i am not sure why I am even wasting time replying to you, but here i am... You are likely flaming on endless sphere which is dumb. Get a better hobby you yourself.

Not only do I NEED TO overhaul the motor, i have to soldering the male CONTROLLER SIDE TO THE CONTROLLER. It's easy to fry electronics if you don't use high heat, i.e. wrong iron, etc.

TLDR: It's NOT just a few wires!

I've gotten digital temperature-regulated 60W soldering irons for $30 on the 'zon.

I have a dewalt one like that. it doesn't get hot enough for the phase windings. If you disagree please PROVE IT. Enough talk.

Motor finally bit the dust. The brake track split. Wire stayed good until the end. Not worth rebuilding at this point. Part out and sell.

I actually dropped the motor on the wire itself and it still works surprisingly. Thing is robust asf. I'm going to try and relace it and build a back up ( crap) bike. My family really wants to borrow one

I rebuilt this wheel but after about 40 or so rides, I started having issues. The first thing was that the there was a weird clunking noise and jerking from the motor. Then the motor cut out. Now it runs in reverse.

IT's strange. It worked for so long. I tested with a known good controller and still have an error. Could it be the motor?
