OK, as a continuation of this thread, I thought I would ask for help in the technical section.
So I had a grinding/clicking noise the other day and decided to contact eLation as its only 4 months old...but found out eLation have closed their doors, completely, no contact possible.
So I disassembled the motor to find a planetary gear missing a couple of teeth, and about to strip a lot more.
If anyone can help, here are my questions:
* Do you know if I can find a replacement gear? I guess I should replace all three.
* Should I look for a different material?
* If I cant get a gear, would a whole planetary set be available? i.e is it familiar to others
I have enclosed some pictures of the motor, which has been removed from its outer casing. I have not seen similar here so I am wondering if its custom made for eLation.
Up until now I have been very happy with the performance and it would be a shame to scrap the whole (AU$1200) kit for something else. I have been using the motor a lot, but dont think I have been overdoing it.
I now realise how dependent you become on your primary form of transport.
thanks,
Graham.
