I'll start by saying I have never worked on any E-Bike before but i am trying to help a friend with his. I appreciate any help. He has an Onyx LZR and Onyx has gone out of business so we are trying to fix this ourselves.
Hardware:
The original motor is a Bafang M600 1.0 with a 36V 25A 500W control board. The nylon gear inside of this is destroyed and gunked up the works so he bought a replacement motor.
The new motor he bought is a Bafang M600 2.0 that came with a 48V 18A 500W control board.
The battery is a 36V 14Ah 504 Wh battery.
Note:
Despite attempts to contact Bafang to get a proper copy of the BESST software, I have not received a response so I am using a cracked version of the software. This is my friend's primary means of transportation to/from work so I am just trying to do what I can to help him and I welcome all feedback. Thank you all for having this community <3
Situation:
When I plug the battery into the new motor with the 48V control board, the power setting on the assist control shows a red light indicating something is wrong and I assume it is because it is expecting 48V but is getting 36V from the battery.
In order to troubleshoot this, I swapped the control board on the new motor for the original 36V control board from the old motor. In this configuration, the assist control lights up white. Using the BESST tool I am able to run the controller calibration on the sensor position and the motor appropriately turns the pedal. When I manually turn the pedal, I can see the cadence indicator update in the BESST tool which indicates to me that the torque sensor seems to be working but perhaps I am mistaken here (this is the new motor so I would expect that the torque sensor is fine).. The problem is that despite everything, when I pedal the bike, the assist never kicks in. I feel like I am missing something trivially simple but I can't figure it out.
Oh, before I forget.. Using the BESST tool, I can read the serial info and settings on the controller and the sensor but I cannot read the battery info on either motor or control board. Though the battery was not the issue with the original motor and the motor turns when calibrating the control board so I assume that power is appropriately functioning. Not sure if something else is wrong or if it is due to my using a cracked software package or if it is even supposed to read with how I have it set up.
