    Easy way to tell if controller built into hub motor?

    Lol, now that you mention it this motor does look like it got really cooked. Is it possible the motor was cooked, and Curry/iZip put a new controller & Hall sensors in and resold it? Look at how the black layer is scraped away near the Hall Sensors. That looks like it was done as part of a...

    Easy way to tell if controller built into hub motor?

    I disassembled the hub, the controller is built in, I see the 3 motor wires power wires, and 5 hall sensor wires going to a connector. Also there are 2 wires going to something else unknown. None of the magnets in the wheel were de-laminated, nothing smells or looks burnt, I'm wondering about...

    Easy way to tell if controller built into hub motor?

    It's got new front suspension, new brakes, and a pretty new Lithium Ion battery. I like projects as long as I know what I'm doing. With ebikes I'm flying blind. So I appreciate you guys sharing your thoughts. I'm going to disassemble the rear hub if my gear puller fits it, and see what's going...

    Easy way to tell if controller built into hub motor?

    Thanks for the replies, as you can tell I don't know anything about ebikes so your posts are really helpful. Apologies for the bad quality photos, I got a better shot of the female conn. and it accepts 2 large pins and 8 small pins, so it sounds like the controller is built into the hub. I have...

    Easy way to tell if controller built into hub motor?

    My 2015 iZip Dash E3 motor stopped working, and now has resistance when the wheel is rotated, I think a magnet delaminated. The motor is a TranzX M19 48V 500W hub drive. Is there a way to tell if a controller is built into the motor with a multimeter? I am considering opening it up to see what...

    2015 iZip Dash E3 non-OEM motor replacement suggestions?

    I just got a 2015 iZip Dash E3, the owner decided to let it go because the 2nd motor he had on it died and he didn't find parts easily. The stock motor is not geared and overheated on a moderate hill he climbed going to work each day, he went through 2 motors in 6 years! And Curry wants $500 for...

    I'm sorry I wasn't clear, the motor and battery work great, the cotroller died.

    Thanks, I don't know much about this, the motor has 3 wires, and I don't know the wattage of the controller to buy. Also what do I do with the unused wires, just leave them disconnected? Are you aware of any online tutorials about this stuff? Thanks!

    What movie is that? I might as well be on double-secret probation, I didn't get any replies to my post. I think I'll try Reddit next.

    I need a 36V controller, throttle and battery charge display... suggestions?

    My neighbor bought an electric trike that quickly developed problems, the wiring was bad with bare wires shorting and sparking. I fixed that the bike ran sometimes but not others, it turns out the switch on the controller has a low and probably insufficient watt rating and it stopped working...

    I didn't notice any notificaitons about being on probation but I'm happy to wait until I'm allowed to post about the bike in a help forum.
