Curious bunch aren’t we ! Haha 😛 Seriously though in reference to the main crank seals n bearings. (1) Do the bearings get pounded out and then the seals go or (2) do the seals go first eventually letting contaminates in taking out the bearings ? 😳 Ya I know it can be either but generally which...

Here is the black connector from the display unit.

This guy was so surprised it scared the shit right out of him..😆Notice the hoof mark in the snow… definitely unicorn 😉

Since it’s going to be a while before this problem is solved I decided drop the motor and to split the cases… You guessed it moisture in fine droplets inside the case on everything ! 🤨 The plot thickens… 🧐

Mikerb I need item number 1 part # 2 X1V–83500–00 METER ASSY. As you can see it’s only available complete and they are calling it a meter assembly. I broke the up button when I crashed into a snowbank. End view of buttons with obvious sharp edges where I have snagged my gloves before.

Now here is the kicker about the whole deal, the controller might be just fine ! 🤭 Yeps it might just be a coincidence and the real problem may yet be the torque sensor or motherboard in the motor. 😱” Unfortunately you cannot not swap a motherboard (even if I found one) as they are keyed into...

Apac this is the way All ebikes function as far as I know. The controller is The brains of every motor, without it your outta luck. Even though some units may have integrated switches right in the display, it’s still the same story.

Since there is Soo many talented peeps on this board I was wondering if anyone has invented or found a way to stop water n grit from destroying the motor bearings ? Dirt bikes have been around for years and they have it nailed down I don’t understand why ebike manufacturers haven’t unless it’s...

Apac the controller ( display and buttons) are the brains of everything. Without it the motor will not even turn over. As far as waterproofing goes all our bikes are weak , if not through the controller , the main crank bearings will do you in, it’s just a matter of time unless you ride your...

Jackware you are correct about the harness it is stuffed up inside the frame and as yet I haven’t pulled it out to see what kind of connectors are on it but I will and will get back to you. Thanks 🙏

Stihldog the biggest concern I have about buying another new ride is the motor water ingress problem on EVERY brand currently available 😶 I don’t know if Yamaha has addressed that issue on their new pw-x-3 motor or not ? Water water everywhere ! Seriously I no longer consider any ebike reliable...

No rats it’s the X display and of course the connectors are completely different on a Yamaha branded bike . Plus your right the display is attached with the control buttons by a wire that is not detachable. 😑 I also looked to see if the new controller that is used with the newv pw-X-3 motor...

Who would ever thought riding in snow would screw your bike over, I sure didn’t ! After one of many crashes my bars on the left side got buried in the snow. After remounting I attempted to ride and immediately got a flashing red light and fault code. I turned the bike off n on to no avail...

I happened to come across this posted on Avdweb.nl. https://www.avdweb.nl/solar-bike/hub-motor/yamaha-pw-sx2 “Most mid-drive motors (like the Bosch) have just one freewheel, this is used for pedaling without turning the motor. With just a single freewheel, the motor can never drive the rear...

You might be better off selling just the motor if it’s in excellent condition. It would be less time consuming and less hassles especially since you planned on selling the completed bike. Just a thought. 🤔

Yamaha x-2 the one used by Yamaha in their branded bikes. Apparently the Yamaha motors used in non Yamaha branded bike ie; Hiabike, Giant etc.have different connectors that will not fit. X1V-17061-11-00 DRIVE UNIT ASSY (Yamaha)

If you’re after bulletproof wheels for an ebike Mike at lacemine29.com hooked me up with a beautiful set of Raceface Arc offset 40’s with Swiss 350 Hybrid 6-bolt disc hubs, 32h, black. Boost spacing, HG freehub. RaceFace ARC Offset 40 27.5+ rims, 32h, black. DT Swiss Competition butted spokes...

Hmmm I’m notsure if your actually looking for 100% waterproof or not. If you want bulletproof pants with all kinds of room that included leg zippers that open right up to the knees and have a leg length you can custom cut to fit. The pants are designed as an overpant to wear over your shorts...

Gary you are right in an ideal world, but currently it seems everything is upside down. I have had a spare motor on order now for over six months with no delivery date insight, perpetual back order. Some other parts “batteries and motor controllers/sensors/cables are available if you look hard...

Since we are on the cutting edge of the magical ebike Industry no bike seems to be free from developmental issues. Having said that buying spares if you can find them, is a huge guessing and waiting game. Plus buying each part separately can quickly become expensive. You figure just a spare...
