    Problems with Ancheer hub motor or controller

I'm more of an assembler and parts swapper. Most anything mechanical I can fix, but this electrical stuff is out of my league, so I am going...

    Problems with Ancheer hub motor or controller

    Hi. I have an Ancheer E Bike (photo attached) and had an "interesting" problem with it yesterday. For some time I have been hearing what sounded like loose spokes on the rear, but nothing was loose. Yesterday I took off from a stand still and heard a grinding sound, followed by a large...
