Same s*** happened to mine; it's the magnets that are slipping. Pull them off one at a time. Make sure you keep track where they are, i numbered mine .clean up everything , epoxy back in . Use something good , high heat rated . It worked for mine, I had to do it twice. I used some cheap shit first time , lasted a couple days untill someone who weighed 200 rode it and they came loose.
Definitely the magnets, this problem got me pulling hairs... for days.. I replaced everything, clutch, gears... I was refusing to believe that magnets can actually slip... I pulled all the magnets, cleaned them with isopropyl, scuffed the surface, then glued them back with CA/superglue, give them a good bath of this stuff, it should hold for a long time, no baking soda needed.
@@chargeriderepeat7024 Try the applying superglue without removing them, too much work and probably overkill, if they come loose again, redo after a good prep.
thats the Bafang motor ? I thought those were pretty solid and well reputed. I have no idea what could be wrong, would be weird if the magnets unstuck but I have heard of it happening before, just one or two magnets, what a fail that would be huh ? I wouldn't be surprised if its due to using your bike as a boat, maybe the salt got in and did something to the glue ? but could it actually penetrate far beyond the edges of the magnet ?! is it also possible that your motor overheated and that melted the glue ? very soon I will make giant talon 3 with 72v upp battery, '2kw' direct drive hub motor with mtx 39 wheel, should be very light and nippy bike.
Probably nothing to do with water crossings on an electric. 🧐🤔🤣 Weird that stuff is just glued, and not soldered or welded. Hopefully you can repair it. Cheers !! :)
I love how you read/scrolled through the magnet repair website 😂😂

Permabond 920 high temp glue looks good.

That motor was never used in the water, it failed while I was hill climbing in a quarry.
Pretty extreme use, I repeatedly climbed to failure.

Yes it is odd, actually that hub was never christened, so I cant blame that
