Hi y’all new issue here so I thought I’d start a different thread. I have a cheap banfang front wheel hub like the ones used in Uber/jump bikes https://bafang-e.com/en/oem-area/components/component/motor/fm-g020250350d/
Although it was a little unruly on my little bmx bike It was working great until tonight. Long story short I did some welding/modifications to the frame and probably should have been a little more gentle with it. I banged the bike around a little (with the battery detached) dropped it on its side once or twice well moving it around welding it. Later I gently tapped the battery in place with a rubber mallet into a rack I made for it that goes under the seat.
I was pretty excited to ride it with a new seat/battery rack welded up.
Now when I give it throttle the wheel spins for like two seconds and then stops. If I let the throttle off and try again the same thing happens. It does this under load or on a stand. Basically the wheel turns for a couple seconds and then nothing. I haven’t been able to find any loose wires or connectors.
I feel like a clown since I clearly broke something while modding the frame. Has anyone run into a similar issue? I figure this might be indicative of something obvious for those of you with more experience with e bikes.
Ty for the help!
