Ive got a RadMini4. And on it, I have the NB Power 3000W Conversion Kit. There's more to the kit than what I have on the bike, but I currently have the TFT-UKC1 display, the NB Power 3000w Rear Hub Motorwheel, and the 3000w 48v-72v Speed Controller.
Last night I just did the wiring and hooked up the motor wheel. I already had the kit but did not have the motor wheel until then. In doing that I inspected all the wires for flaws, cracks, or any physical damage. Could not see any.
I did have to individually splice the five wires coming from the plug, that of which makes the plug for the hall senors, but the 3 thick wires coming from motor, the yellow, green, and blue wires, they are in brand new condition, and plugged into the yellow brick. And the splicing was done flawlessly.
And once I got everything hooked up, I turned it on. The display screen turned on. But when I gave it throttle it would crawl in speed. The motor wheel makes a buzzing sound whenever I hit the throttle (don't know if that's normal or not for that size of motor???) but it does go. It just has no power, and goes about as fast as me walking. I should also mention that the derailleur broke off of it which is why it has no chain or derailleur in the pics. Might that be a possible reason for the bike not working like it should? I don't think the motor or the throttle part of the bike should be affected by that but please let me know if you disagree...
In the middle of posting this thread, I went out to see how much wattage the bike was running while it was going very slowly. It ran in a maximum of 1450 w (according to the wattage reader on my display) and crawled slowly and the minimum of 500 watts and crawled slowly during that as well. While riding a bit down the street to test ride it and get more info of its behavior for this post, all the sudden, the throttle got no response (no buzz, or anything) and after I pulled the bike over I noticed that the whole display screen was shut off and I could not turn it back on and still cannot to this point. I'm letting the battery cool and it will be put on a charger once it cools down. Also after test riding it, the motor was very warm.
What could all of this mean? What the deuce?
