This is one of the few channels on youtube that is actually useful. Watching this guy de mystify e bike motors is encouraging. i now know that when my motor eventually fails , i will be able to send it to him for a repair.

Not really. I used to work for a major manufacturer of vehicles and while we encouraged the end-user to visit an authorized dealer for all repairs, we knew that most seeking repairs outside of warranty did not do so. There is no hatred involved. Remember that all dealers, authorized or not, are simply independent businessman, just like those who provide us parts and repairs for any vehicle, electric or otherwise. As for proprietary parts issues...those will always be with us. I am happy to see so much can be done with my Yamaha PW motor. It frankly very encouraging!

Great! I would say that it is not as easy as it might look. I have spent full 2 days doing it, but finally succeeded. I would say to anyone attempting to do it: do not even think without a bearing puller (both outer and inner), Yamaha 36mm tool, and hydraulic press. What they do not mention here is to be very thorough in cleaning and greasing afterward. Anyway, amazing video. If anyone from Serbia needs some advice on this, feel free to write :)

See my link here: www.tredz.co.uk/.FSA-Yamaha-e-Bike-Spider_204806.htm?source=aw&awc=6821_1591464323_bef90c4283868ce998fdb614a9e58d2b& Hope this helps ?

A really late reply, But on the PW it uses the 104 BCD type. It's fits on the spider the motor comes with.. Which can actually house 2 chainrings or 1 chainring and a bash guard. Your chain stay will determine how big of chainring you can have as the inner.

Excellent question Lee. 99% of all ebike motors run "dry" i.e. they have no oil inside them. If you regularly spray a lubricant at the bearings it eventually makes its way into the motor and from there it makes a right mess! It can alter or dilute the greases, affect circuit boards and coatings, it also takes me hours to clean out if someone has done this. So, in answer to your question, don't, it's definitely detrimental.

Yes, we have looked at this quite seriously. If you could get a different motor to talk to the original battery (changing both battery and motor is not normally economically viable) then getting the crank in the exact same position both left, right, back and forth will require a different fitting kit for almost every bike out there. It was not a viable project for us.

I am curious about the mounting standard of these ebike motors. Are they compatible in some degree. For example. A newer bike with a Bosch gen 4 cx motor. Is another brand able to mount in there.

@Ebikemotorcentre

2 жыл бұрын

9 times out of 10 a creak is due to the motor bolts not being tight enough causing the aluminium frame to creak against the aluminium motor. The creak is usually heard on the power stroke, and bit worse going up hill. If this is the case, try tightening your motor bolts first. Also check the chainring to spider bolts. The chainring can creak against the spider. All other creaks on the bike will usually travel down the frame and emanate from the motor area, seat post, bar stem, rear suspension linkage, etc. One thing that does not usually creak are bearings :)

If you're sure this is not coming from the drive train then notchy feeling on a PW-X can be bearings if accompanied by grating noise. If relatively quiet it can also be gearing. Either way, do not be tempted to keep riding it. Get it looked at before any serious damage occurs.

This would be very difficult with this motor because ceramic bearings will not be available with the O-ring grove cut in them. Also, they would be good against water but not contamination like dirt and grit. It is not really the bearings that affect the motors performance, it is the bearings seals, and you would still need good seals on the ceramic bearing, so once again defeating the object.
