I have a 36v TDSZ2 running of a 17AH battery on a roadbike . About January I replaced the controller as it had malfunctioned after about 13 mmonths
All was ok until two weeks ago.
I was pushing up a 10% hill when the motor ceased driving and the VLCD 5 display went blank.
I attempted to turn on the display but it wouldn't come on until I turned the battery off an on. On the ten km remaining for the ride this happened twice more.
On the supplier's advice I checked the blue gear and it was undamaged. However when I removed the motor I noticed that I had pinched the red and black torque sensor wires between the motor and the case. It had taken all this time for the pressure to break through the wire insulation.
The power drops out when I apply torque to the pedals.
The higher power setting less torque is needed for the power to drop out
I coated the wires with silicone then reinstalled the motor and controller but the issue was still there.
I then purchased a new controller and installed it then test rode the bike
The new controller didn't fix the issue. Something I noticed is when I reset the system and turned on the display the readings defaulted back to the readings before all this started.
So where do i go from here
