Vitus E-Mythique LT won't power on.

Try this tool.

But much better to turn down OD and tighten nut and not the bolt.

I went with a 13mm socket (I couldn't find a half inch socket to hand) and turned it back to just over 17.4mm.

3/8s drive socket. Half inch drive won't fit the top left bolt .

I'm pretty sure I just used a 1/4 inch drive socket and it fit fine. I don't remember having any trouble removing the motor and I have done that to 2 different E-Mythique's.

Great. Will you also turn back one 13mm socket for me and shipp? Will pay.

The nut is 13mm, no?

Other solution is just to cut a little of carbon around nut with a dremmel.

I have one of these coming in. Reading from everyone's posts, seems like the thing to do as soon as I get it is:
1. Split motor, apply conformal coating to the PCB
2. pack drive side seal with diaelectric grease, put motor back together
3. Use some VHB tape to extra seal cable ports etc.

If i do all of those things chances of problems are less high? I couldn't pass up on how cheap this was, figured if i can make it more bombproof it will be a great bike. Let me know if there are any other tips you guys recommend

Still haven't had any issues with mine. It's not guaranteed you will haver problems, but obviously anything you can do to mitigate any potential issues can only be a good thing !!!

Mud guards too ! There is a thread on it.
