A number of people note issues with their Amego Infinity rear hub motors. In my case, the motor is slipping: it supplies power but only up to a certain point when it slips in a way that suggests to me that the internal gearing is damaged. My current plan is to purchase a like-on-like replacement motor. However, in order to install that motor I am told I'll need to have the rear wheel rebuilt: the old motor will be detached from the spokes and the new motor will be spoked in, a process that will cost >$100 at a bike shop. Is it possible instead to remove the old motor from its casing, leaving the casing attached via spokes to the wheel, and then slot in the new motor in its place?
I should note that I own two of these bikes and have connected the slipping motor to the controller on the good bike, which then produces the same result. So I'm sure the issue is in the motor and not the controller or upstream wiring.
