suddenly hub motor stops and the light on the trottle goes off

I have a question about hub motor system.
Q:When I connected the last hub motor kit bought from ebay this happen:
On with key wit my 48v lithium battery – all 3 light comes on in throttle.
I twist the throttle slowly hub motor start to spin and I twist the throttle more (under half speed of full speed – the wheel is spinning free no resistance – Battery is fully charged. And suddenly hub motor stops and the light on the throttle goes off.
If I take off the power with key and on again then the light comes back on the throttle.
I also try a another throttle with no difference.
How could this problem be solved ?
A:I think the problem is from your battery.Some cells inside your lithium battery are broken.Though you full charged your battery,it also can drive hub motor system when output less current(less than half speed).If twist more,need to output larger current,some broken cells will be used out energy earlier than good cells.At this time,in order to protect all cells,your BMS inside lithium battery will stop output.Therefore hub motor stopped.
When you re-start,hub motor kit still can work at less speed.

Do you have volt-meter,you can test your hub motor system as below:
1.Make your hub motor wheel in the air;
2.Power on and measure the voltage from positive and cathode of your battery;
3.Read data,maybe 42V(full charged 36V battery);
4.Twist less,run slowly;
5.Read data,maybe 41V,no any problem,three led on throttle still work;
6.Twist more,hub motor stopped;
You will find the voltage dropped less than 34V when you twist more and hub motor stopped.
But when your loose throttle,the voltage will be back 42V.So when you turn on your key,three leds be on and hub motor works.

In order to make your hub motor works normal.You should replace cells.

hub motor shook when powered on

Q:Help me! my ebike don’t work. Then I turn on the key on the battery the 3 lights on the thumb throttle starts to light. then I press the thumb throttle the motor shake with some noise 1 second and doesn’t work.

Answer 1:Check wires.Most of problems come from wrong connecting.

Answer 2:Exchange motor wire connecting.Please connect as below picture,thanks.

Answer 3:Don’t worry.My 700c 48v1000w electric bike kit also had this problem.Please exchange yellow and green wires.
Controller ———— Motor
Thick Yellow —– Thick Green
Thick Green —– Thick Yellow
Thick Blue —– Thick Blue

Thin Yellow —– Thin Green
Thin Green —– Thin Yellow
Thin Blue —– Thin Blue
Thin Red —– Thin Red
Thin Black —– Thin Black

Answer 4:My 36V 250W 26″ kit also exchanged these two wires.

Answer 5:No exchange thin red and thin black wires,just exchange three thick yellow,blue,green and three thin yellow,blue,green wires. Exchange 12 times,must find one kind of right phase and system can work normal.

Answer 6:Had better to connect wires as instruction,sometime connect wrong wire will break controller.Even if done wire connecting,still need to re-check connecting.At last put on battery.

Answer 7:Don’t worry,your hub motor can shake that means motor and controller are both okay,please exchange wires according as the instruction of drawing that will solve it.

Answer 8:Hello,holmqvist,how is your e-bike? Still shake…

BEST ANSWER:The third answer.

more detail about hub motor

These days more and more hub motors are used for ebikes.We also call them electric bike motors.For e bike motor,it’s an important key product.It seems bike engine.

We know gasoline engine.The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel (normally a fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high-temperature and high -pressure gases produced by combustion apply direct force to some component of the engine. This force is applied typically to pistons, turbine blades, or a nozzle. This force moves the component over a distance, transforming chemical energy into useful mechanical energy.

Gasoline engine will let co2, so2 pollute environment and be bad for health.

For electric bike motor,it uses battery,one kind of clean energy.
Hub motor is make up of rotor winding,magnet,hub,axis,bearing,hall sensor…

Hub motor electromagnetic fields are supplied to the stationary windings of the motor. The outer part of the motor follows, or tries to follow, those fields, turning the attached wheel.

About motor speed,power..we can customize it according as customers’ actual need by change gauge of the coil wires and/or the turns number of the coils and/or the height of magnet

There are some parts of hub motor.

Convert your ordinary bikes to electric bikes

Riding an electric bike is a green form of transportation,no gasoline and exercising yourself.You can customize your own electric bicycle with e bike kit,and this bike DIY can be done at home with fun.

Bike conversion kit usually includes an electric bike motor,a motor controller,throttle and brake lever,battery and charger is optional.The most popular electric bike kit package consists of 250 and 750 watts electric hub motor,36 volt 10 amp-hour lithium LiFePO4 battery,and 2-amp charger.

Electric vehicle conversion is gaining more popularity in Euro-American countries for its affordable price and wonderful experience.An converted e bike can travel up to 15 to 20 miles per hour.
