Don't forget if you're riding with a dongle or de-restrictor of some sort in the UK, you are now classed as riding a moped and will be done for drink driving, no insurance, tax, mot, number plate etc.

I think your statement backs up the fact that, not as many motors fail as you read about on forums. However, when you have as many bikes out there as Specialized, get ready for a hard time! 🤪

This is the perfect example of what we see with most of the motors. A small amount of water gets into the outer crankshaft bearings, predominantly the right hand side needle roller bearing. As these bearings begin to wear they do it very quietly because they are also supported by the centre...

You can, but many don't know or realise this until they pull the spider off.

All eBike motors are not currently serviceable items. They are designed to be fitted and forgotten (Yes, I know we all know how that turns out). They are not currently designed to be taken apart and put back together on a regular basis. Creaking and clicking is usually caused by something...

Will PM you.

If you do buy one of these, don't break it. I don't think I have the patience to fiddle around with that gearbox! 🤪

We do get access to most new motors and models to "investigate" sometimes before they are officially released. (Times are moving on). Unfortunately, we are often contractually bound and can't say what we have seen or not seen. I can say that Brose are not currently adding seals or grease at this...

Fitting a seal is now standard practice for us and all our partners worldwide, including Michael in the US who made this lovely video. We always add this and several other layers of sealing when repairing these motors. The picture below shows a cutaway of the crank assembly where you can see...

We'll have to wait and see :unsure:

I have opened many 200 S-Mags. There are a few structural changes to the belt cover and body to try and stiffen it and stop noise from the electric motors armature, but that's about it. Sprags etc are all the same. Only other difference is a polymer drive belt. Noise can be subjective, as even...

Yup, nothing to worry about.

OK, I am going to say that this is definitely not coming from your motors frame brackets. If it starts making a noise when you take 380% of the power away, something else is going on! If you do check the chainring to spider bolts, they won't usually be loose, they just won't be tight enough and...

What we have found is that creaking from almost anywhere else on the bike will travel down the frame and emanate out from the motor area. This so far has included: Seat post Crank arms (as @Sijmes mentioned) chain ring to spider securing bolts rear suspension linkage, including shock mounts...

Did our partner in America not have one in stock? We are sending his order over next week if you still want this part?

We fit a lot of these motors in the workshop after they have been on the bench and have not had any problems so far? The brackets have virtually no movement around the TS25 screws so can never really be that far out. The one thing we do though, is start each TP40 bolt only a few threads into the...

The bearing lifting from the motor case is an issue we see from time to time. The bearing is glued into the housing because the Magnesium Alloy is too brittle to be used for crimping the bearing in, as done on the Aluminium motors. Brose have used two different "glues" to solve this issue. The...

Populating our Yamaha page is on my very long to-do list. We do carry or can get most parts for Yamaha motors, please feel free to drop me an email through my site or PM me for price and availability.

This is a common issue with the Yamaha PW-X and X2 motors, also re-badged as the Giant SyncDrive Pro. The play is caused by slight wear in the bronze bush bearings fitted inside the clutch boss. These would be replicable if we could find them. Unfortunately, getting them manufactured is still on...

Unfortunately, you can't get the grease where it needs to be, trust me, we've tried. Even syringes didn't help. The other problem is, we don't currently sell the seals separate! We are working on a economically viable way of doing this though, so should not be long. If it were my bike, I would...
