Hi, 6 months ago I built up a nice touring bike with a 2K watt front motor. The rig is great except I am on my 8th throttle already. I spoke with the company and they have said moisture can kill the throttle. So while camping I tend to put a cover on my bike and hope for the best the next morning incase any fog settles on the bike.
I am tired of carrying lots of replacement throttles which are costing $25 a pop, so that got me thinking... Why can't I carry just a couple throttles and a whole bag of Hall Sensors? Does any one know what Hall Sensor is used, so I can order a bunch? I basically have this standard one in the photo.
I did take my bike back to the shop and they opened up the motor and found a hall sensor in the motor had a loose wire (not hall sensor in the throttle). Don't know if that would keep blowing them out or not. But in March I am starting a cross country bike trip and can't deal with these throttle issues all the time.
Opening up a throttle there seems to be room to perhaps solder in a socket that I can just insert a Hall sensor into and replace if needed. Otherwise I can solder them in the field. The 52v 15Ah battery can provide plenty of power to run my soldering iron at camp to repair them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
