    Just to say how much I like your videos, well done for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I think you strike a sensible balance in terms of encouraging bike owners to maintain their machines, at the same time encouraging to recognise their limitations and go to their local bike shop. The Bosch Gen 4 motor strip down was excellent. We have two e bikes Velo de Ville, I look forward to re-racing the motors when they reach that stage. Kind regards 🇦🇺

    First of all thank you for really outstanding video with a great explanation. My gen 4 motor was out of warranty and I had little play at the crank axle so I decided to replace bearings by myselft after I watched this video but I must say its still quite hard job to do and it took something like 6 hours to get job done. It also required many special tools. When I was disassembling the motor I found that your motor missed one c-clip. When you remove first part of crank case you should have c-clip over the drive cog. I say this because if some one is trying to replace the bearing they must remove that to get drive cog out. Then that drive shaft also misses o-ring which is at midle of the shaft but thats not a big deal. I tried to remove magnet motor without bolts first but its nightmare so I bought threaded rod and used that as bolt. The thread is 5mm x 0,8 which is metric standard I think. Other than that my drive shaft was quite tight to remove from the last bearing so I gently tapped it out without damaging torque sensor. Those bearing from the crank case can be removed with poor mans bearing press by using nuts, sockets and threaded rod. You can press new bearing with old ones. But all in all it is quite time consuming and hard job to disassemble this motor without damage but It can be done thanks to your video.

      Hi Steve, the best thing to do is bring your battery inside and charge it to approx 50%, if it's a bosch battery and you know your dealer well ask them to prepare it for storage, we have a bosch battery conditioner that prepares them for storage.

    Thank you! Really wanted to see what a Gen4 innards looked like and how it works. Bosch is so protective of it's dealer network (not a complaint I understand why) it's impossible outside of youtube to see what's going on inside. Outside of bearings I doubt there is anything that a consumer could fix as I don't know where/how you could source circuit boards and sensors. Stay well and hope you enjoy continued success with your recovery,

Have you had any experience with this and a possible fix ? I’m a certified bosch tech myself however can’t get any help from Bosch on this other than they it’s moisture ingestion. Thanks Colin

    • @TheYorkshireBikeMechanic

      Hi Colin Thanks for watching and your comments. Its a tricky position your in with these motors, Im surprised at Bosches refusal to help out, but I don't know how much out of warranty they are out by. 500 errors are nearly impossible to sort out if they return after a reset. the only way to sort them is a bosch replacement under warranty or a new motor paid.

    Hi
    Thank you for your excellent videos. Well explained and in a likeable way.
    I have a gen4 motor with an yet unidentified electrical internal failure. Code 550 was shown and my shop guessed it has a damage on the board from water that got inside. Now my question. I could get a motor wich is all fine but two pins of the display plug in are broken off. Do you think it might be possible to change out the connector sections between the two boards? To make the otherwise good motor be useable again with the connector section of my old motor.
    I am confident to be able to disassemble them like in your video and should be able to solder stuff in and out the board. But I have no idea if the section with the connector plug ins is just soldered on or for waterproofness is somehow glued too.
    I am german and hope this is explained in an understandable way.
    Kind regards, Carsten.

    • @TheYorkshireBikeMechanic
      @TheYorkshireBikeMechanic  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for watching and your comments, unfortunately the connector pins are so incredibly difficult to replace or straighten, it's like micro circuitry and there are no spare parts available, if it's a last resort then it might be worth a try.

    4 month ago I did replace those outer casing bearings and now I might have a problem with drive gear one way clutch bearing. Have you removed that bearing from that cogwheel? In video you say it can be done by pressing but is there any lock ring or anything that must be taken off before you press? Obviously you need to develop some kind of tools to press that bearing out without damaging the cogwheel.

    • @TheYorkshireBikeMechanic
      @TheYorkshireBikeMechanic  9 місяців тому +1

      Hi, Thank you for watching and your comment. No they are 2 different things, the torque sensor measures the amount of pressure you put through the pedal. When you say cadence do you mean speed sensor?, the speed sensor sits on the rear frame near the wheel. cadence measures how many revolutions on the crank per minute.

    • @MrGervasius
      @MrGervasius 9 місяців тому

      ​@@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic I got an error code 513001 and I found the meaning to be a cadence sensor problem. Yesterday I also rode and got error 510006 which means Torque sensor does not work properly. Today everything works fine but anyway, I have to go to the service asap. I hope I will not need to replace whole motor. Your content is great. Makes me want to be a bike mechanic too.

      Hi Thomas thank you for watching. The torque sensor was damaged by the previous owner, he tried to replace the bearings himself with no knowledge, I got the motor to carry out experiments etc.
      The video was made as a reference guide only to show how difficult it is to do, one wrong slip and your motor is rendered useless. I would not recommend you attempt it unless it’s a last resort.

    That torque sensor cable. If the solder has broken but the circuitboard tracks are in tact and all surtface mount components are intact then you should be able to load up some surface mount flux to the circuit board and and cable connector and using a fine nozzle air heat solder gun to refloat the connections. Worth a try.

    Hi do you know if there is a noise when the crank is moved backwards and forwards a tiny bit - It’s not a rattle, more a slight sound as you go from freewheeling to engaging the motor.
    If you ride along freewheeling then very slightly peddle to engage the motor, there is a slight clunk as it engages.

      Hi, thanks for watching and your question. each brand of ebike motor has its own characteristics, some will be fairly quiet during use, others can be clunky during transition from power to overrun. they all generate different noises that are normal for that particular motor. unfortunately it's experience and diagnostics that tell us when something isn't right. if you have a good ebike mechanic let them have a listen and ride or if you have a friend with a bike with the same motor compare it with theres.

    Hi my name Stephen what a great video. Ok I think I have a major problem with my gen 4 it got contaminated with water I dried the connections that plug into the side of the motor but the bad thing I’ve done is the pins that actually are on the board I bent one and broke another will this now mean a complete new electrical board if I took it to a dealer would probably cost the price of a new motor I wish I never put a screwdriver inside where the pins are I believe it maybe’s need a new pcb board 😢do you know where I can get one and then the motor will have to be stripped down which is why I watched your video.

      Hi Stephen, sorry to here about your motor issues. The likely hood is that I will need a new board. As a dealer I would probably quote you for a new motor i'm afraid. There is one person that may be able to help and it's worth a try, it depends on if you are in the uk. give Peter a call from Performance line bearings, tell him what your issue is, it's worth a call.

    Hi! My motor has stopped clicking when backpedaling. Everything works but backpedaling will bring the chain backwards like a non emtb. Should i be worried? Could it just be the spring for the ratchet that is stuck? It will click if i force it while holding the chainring still, and also when i stop pedaling and it overbosts.

    Is it really a torque sensor? How could it measure torque without anything being attached to the shaft? I though there would be a strain gauge. Also I know that motor controllers can estimate torque without any sensor on the motor itself
