How to fix a problem with the motor of an electric bicycle?

When using an electric bike, you might occasionally encounter confusing problems. For example, when you turn on the motor and twist the throttle, the rear wheel makes a loud noise but doesn't turn. If this happens, it can be quite disconcerting, leaving you unsure of what to do next. In this blog post, we'll discuss this common motor problem and offer some solutions.

Problem description:

When you turn on your e-bike and hear a loud noise coming from the rear wheel without any movement, it usually indicates a motor problem. As the heart of the e-bike, a faulty motor can severely impact its performance. Therefore, understanding how to address this issue is crucial.

Possible solutions:

1. Complete engine replacement

The simplest solution for a faulty motor is to replace the entire motor unit. This method is suitable for users unfamiliar with the motor's internal structure. While replacing the entire motor may seem complex, it is the most comprehensive way to resolve the problem.

Steps:

• - First, remove the spokes from the wheel to detach the old engine.
• - Next, install the new motor unit, making sure that all cables are properly connected.
• - Finally, reinstall the wheel and spokes.

2. Motor core replacement

For users with some technical knowledge, replacing the motor core can be a more convenient and time-saving solution. The motor core is the critical component within the motor responsible for its operation. If the motor core is damaged, replacing it can restore the motor's functionality.

Steps:

• - First, remove the engine cover to expose the internal components.
• - Next, locate and remove the motor core (also known as the "Motor Core").
• - Finally, install the new engine core and reinstall the engine cover.

Safety precautions​

Regardless of the method chosen, it is essential to prioritize safety during the repair process. Make sure the e-bike is switched off to prevent any accidents. If you are unsure of the procedure, it is advisable to seek help from a professional technician to ensure a safe and effective repair.
