I have to remove my motor's main power and sensor cable just to replace the axle bearing on that side due to the too big connector on the end of that cable. Watching your work really helps me see what's required to get that done. Great video as always!
Leaving stubs of the old wires is a great way to get the colour coding right when fitting a new cable. Alternatively take a photo with your phone, and refer to the photo when reassembling. I have found it helpful to solder the phase wires of the new cable to a single wire, pass the single wire through the axle then use it to pull the new cable through... it helps to get the cable round the tight bend where it exits the axle. Thanks for the video..
I'm about to venture into this same project. And though I can do this myself, watching you makes me think paying someone to do it for me might be the better option... Hey do you want a job? lol
Good video thank you. I want to upgrade to an L1019 and add a thermistor, do you think an L1019 would fit through the axle hole? I believe the overall diameter should be lager due to the larger phase wires.
Appreciate the video! When I pull cover with freewheel the whole motor comes with it, is there a sealant on the cover. Any tips to get it off without removing the whole motor core. Thanks.
I have a bafang hub motor that the cable is getting to where i can see the wires where it comes out of the motor.... awesome video but where did you get the cable or what is it called. I'm gonna need one soon!
I found that since you're cutting the new cable end off you may as well get a much longer on, it's a difference of 1 or 2 quid, then you can use the cable left at the other end to test your controller without dismantling anything. I haven't done much soldering for years so I used a bit of the ample spare to practice on. I found it easier to loosen the screws while on the bike and nice and held still.
Could you reccomend a display / controller combo for a 750w rear bafang 48v please? I got on ebay: Ebike 36V/48V 750W/1000W 26A/30A 3 Mode Sine Wave Controller + S866 Display Set but when I connect up as soon as switch the battery on the back wheel spins for half a second then stops, when I switch the display on there is no life from the motor either PAS or throttle. Controller fault or my wiring? I got the 30amp controller, is it too powerful for the 750?
Sounds like wiring is wrong, disconnect pas and throttle and see if it still moves, then try the walk assist holding down button on display. Make sure the self learn wires are not plugged in (white + white single wires or green single wires that go back into controller) Also the 30a is too high for controller, 50v* 20 amps is already 1000 watts peak so 30amps will get melty
@@EbikeRepairs Thanks, I got a new controller, the 26A version. It works, it operates the motor via the throttle but no PAS. I bought a new PAS which is the pedal crank type, still nothing. The wires were different colours so I cut off the plug male and femal and wired every combination, but still nothing. Its not the end of the world to have the bike throttle only but not good especially if stopped (though the throttle lever is small and discrete.
No I think you just need a gun cleaning wire brush and clean it out from both ends I think they purposely put silicone in with the wire at the same time
They did, it's to prevent tension on the other end pulling the solder joints off the board with the wires. Silicone should probably be added back into the end to prevent it being ripped out by accident.
Hi mate, I have a 750 bafang and a freewheel that is very much not working well 😂 as the motor plug is too big I can’t use a freewheel tool easily, would doing this make it easier to get my freewheel off while having the cover and freewheel as my only other options are cutting freewheel tools until I can make it work or splicing the wire 😂 any help would be appreciated mqte
Pozdrav iz Hrvatske,mozes li mi pomoci nitko ovdje u mom gradu nezna koji je motor u mome engewe engine pro upgraded version x1.Udario me auto u zadnji kotac i moj motor vrti ali jako nesto lupa i ne mogu vozit.Kotac je ljevani nema zice 20-40, a ja neznam koji mi je motor i jeli ima isto takve zupcanike kao ovaj koji vi radite.Isto je 9 pincni kabal.e bicikl je kupljen 2023.godine.Hvala ako mozete pomoci pozdrav iz Zagreba.
Hola a todos, alguien sabe como reprogramar ese motor, en el nivel 1 de asistencia se pone a casi 20 km/hora, en el nivel 2 se pone a 25, en el 3 a 30 y a mí me gustaría que en 1 se pusiera a 10 en el 2 se pusiera a 15 km/h en el 3 a 20 km/h y así sucesivamente …
@@EbikeRepairs thanks for replying to my comment. A sensor was faulty in my engwe engine pro 750 rear hub motor and a big shout out to inner city scooters Dublin Ireland for repairing it with a new board. I guess referencing the make and model would be a good start in acquiring the right part.
Sorry, but that's a complete mess, why didn't you just cut off the new plug by about 5 centimeters and solder it to the old cable and seal it again with heat shrink tubing, it would have taken less than 5 minutes!?
We all do things differently - this is the way I like to do it 👍 Sometimes it needs a whole new cable if it's damaged near the axle too, so I just always replace the entire thing. :)
Dude you have to take the rest of the motor out and apart to get the new wire in your doing it all wrong and weaning the axle by drilling It if you don’t know what your doing don’t make a video of doing it the wrong way
A 07E error code is usually an error direction which would be a hall error and the solution is to check the connection. It can be anything from the Hall sensor or even a pinched wire. If I am correct the hall sensor would be a 41F.

Love the lighter
Hahaha my normal one is broken 💔
Lord of the rings.. great video
😂😂😂 I wish!
Great video. How did you sort the green board to fix the lights flickering on the tester?
I think I soldered the traces with a jumper cable.
just a small thing, you can use soldering iron to shrink those.
NICE WORK
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks
You're very welcome!
Nice one
Thanks 🔥
Good video thank you. I want to upgrade to an L1019 and add a thermistor, do you think an L1019 would fit through the axle hole? I believe the overall diameter should be lager due to the larger phase wires.
It should fit! just

Hammer, tapping gently!
bro do you really wear 6 fucking rings while working?
I have a bafang hub motor that the cable is getting to where i can see the wires where it comes out of the motor.... awesome video but where did you get the cable or what is it called. I'm gonna need one soon!
Check out ebike hub motor extension cable in AliExpress.
Nice video. Just have a question.. The tester you use, where does it come from? Homemade, or can it be bought?

Use a thin wire to attach the new cable to, then pull through?
I actually need to try that, I've struggled SO many times! Hopefully it works. Thanks
Ok you impressed me and I’m sorry for my comment
Haha no worries 😃
Hi do you know if this could fit to work alongside the Bafang hub motor ?
this is a bafang hub :0

That's for the donation! I'd recommend the KT 20a or 25a controller, the KT LCD 8 colour screen.

I found that removing each phase wire and sensor wires you're left with the housing...work that out with a spear sharpened 700 spoke...
Thanks I'll try it next time!
I have a bafang motor and the cable comes out the other side of the motor does this have another name
they do make clones! but they're very similar inside... :)
When I take off the side cover it stays connected to the motor. How do I separate them to get to the board to sodder new wires? 0:44
Tappy tap tap with a hammer (gently) and hold the shaft 👍
No I think you just need a gun cleaning wire brush and clean it out from both ends I think they purposely put silicone in with the wire at the same time
That's a good idea! I'll have to find one...
They did, it's to prevent tension on the other end pulling the solder joints off the board with the wires. Silicone should probably be added back into the end to prevent it being ripped out by accident.
Hi, does anyone know what size screws or bolts are for the motor plate cover? Mine only has one screwed in. Thanks.
m4 or 5.
Sorry, I'm not sure.

Cut the freewheel tool! It's the best way to do it. Mucking with the cable is a hideous job.
@@EbikeRepairs any tips on how to cut it to make it work, as my previous attempt failed

Might not be possible, setting in controller/display not in motor.
You could have re used the original cut cable.
I could have! However I always replace the cable when a paying customer is involved for peace of mind 👍
You could just replace the entire sensor board for a new one as they only cost a few Bob.
That's true! There are lots of different sensor boards though so not the same for every motor

Wow why don't they make it easier to replace that...unreal
Unfortunately the designers aren't the ones who fix stuff 😁
Finding those cables in the UK isn't easy. :(
Found a place, many lengths, ten quid . Odd , i wasn't looking but Google must have been lol
AliExpress.
cool video, but get a heat gun for 30 quid my dude
For the heat shrink? I have hot air guns but I wanted to show off 😔
Haha fair enough!
Power supply
?
will never understand why people solder wires together. Crimping is easier, more reliable, better at taking vibration
I think they both have their benefits! Space concerns inside this motor is a factor.
@@EbikeRepairscan do both
Sorry, but that's a complete mess, why didn't you just cut off the new plug by about 5 centimeters and solder it to the old cable and seal it again with heat shrink tubing, it would have taken less than 5 minutes!?
Better idea, im about to do it, your not soldering 9 wires and sealing it all properly in 5 minutes though.

All sorted now. New sensors and cable :) 41F is correct :)
@@EbikeRepairs cool glad it worked out for you bro! From crappy Canada!
@@EbikeRepairs was it a pain in the a$$$$$ to put that cable in? and where do you buy yours if you don't mind me asking??
it was a pain! direct from bafang - they're available on amazon/ebay easily, though.
@@EbikeRepairs cool thanks! Ya I wonder if its even worth replacing or spend another 400 bucks lol hummm
