I know nothing about Ebikes and only basic DIY type knowledge of anything, so please be patient and reply like I am a moron.
Short story version, my son's friend more or less stole my sons 6 month old ebike and totaled it in a crash against a metal roadside barrier. Luckily he is ok except for some nasty road rash. Some friend, right?
Now the bike... bent rim, slightly offset front forks, and alot of scuffing on the handle bars, grips, and gear shifters, and the electronics are not working properly. I got the rim true and aligned the forks, but the electronics got me stumped.
Here is what I know so far... the display turns on and seems to work normally. It lights up and allows you to change through the assist settings, but the motor does not engage. Neither pedal assist or the throttle work. I have changed the thumb throttle as it looked pretty scuffed, but that made no difference.
I know it's not battery related as we have an extra battery and have tried both. Also, a weird little thing I found by accident, if you have it on and unplug the throttle connector, when you plug it back in it engages the motor fully. I found this out by mistake after changing the throttle and the new one wasn't working either. I unplugged it to make sure the pins weren't bent and when I plugged it back in, the bike tried to take off. While the motor was going, I toggled through the assist modes and noticed the motor responded by slowing down and speeding up, but the only way to stop it was to turn the power off.
This tells me the motor works, but is either stuff on, or stuck off. There is no control over this. The control module appears to be the only thing on the handle bars no scuffed though.
This is the bike in question: Ancheer 21 speed electric mountain bike
