eZee Hub Motor Disassembly

  • In this short tutorial Robbie shows how the geared eZee hub motors are opened up for service using basic tools. These motors do not have any required scheduled maintenance, but would typically be opened up when there is a more serious failure.
    That could include:
    a) Stripped gears from excessive torque (Loud grinding noise when motor is run)
    b) Worn out or corroded ball bearings (Looseness and play in the hub)
    c) Freewheel clutch that has seized and no longer freewheels (works fine, but some drag when motor turns without assistance)
    d) Sheared keystock on clutch (motor spins internally but doesn't turn shell)

      There is no speed limiter inside the bushless motor. You will only have speed limiting in your motor controller, not in the motor.

    This motor can work without Planetary Gears, so what is that function actually?

    • @GrinTechnologies
      @GrinTechnologies  Рік тому

      The planetary gears slow the ~1250 rpm of the motor to a ~250rpm of the wheel, and increase the torque 5x in the process.

    • @GrinTechnologies

      You either unscrew the spoke nipples and delace it the slow, way or you use bolt cutters and delace it the fast way. Then you lace it into a new rim with a new set of spokes to match the new rim ERD. ua-cam.com/video/3OialWggZJo/v-deo.html

    Good, I though they would be axial flux motors, this means there is still a lot of torque potential in future products without needing a larger hub. Can't wait to see those make their way to consumer scooters.

    • @GrinTechnologies
      @GrinTechnologies  3 роки тому +1

      There are very very few axial flux hub motors that we're aware of, mostly used by elite solar car teams. For direct drive motors it's quite a non-trivial mechanical challenge to counter any unbalanced axial forces between the rotor and stator at these kinds of diameters while keeping the support structure light. But for small diameter geared motors like this it should be more achievable and hopefully we will see that some day!

    My EZEE motor wires come out the opposite side, so the connector you sold me will NOT fit thru the hub shell; which forces me to cut all the wires EVERY SINGLE TIME the motor must be serviced. Sell smaller diameter connectors, please.

    Sure wish my emove cruiser from voro motors was this easy to solve fixing. Annoying knocking sound in the rear motor upon trying to accelerate. No sealent was also used in separating the motor, plus different design with copper coils on both sides, held in by magnets on the motor and inside the rim circumference. Terrible design and impossible to work with, at this point I'm getting ready to scrap it, been a money pit from day one.

    I was riding my fiido d1 ebike and the rear wheel locked up all of a sudden, causing the bike to skid off to the side with me on it. It seemed like something inside the rear wheel locked up, any ideas what it could be? It was a momentary thing, the wheel worked afterwards, but caused me to brake abruptly.
    Actually there is a problem with my bike (i didnt take good care of it). Sometimes, the pedals don't work. What I mean is, when you turn the pedals, the chain turns the rear wheel, however, sometimes the rear wheel doesn't turn... its like pedaling backwards.
    But sometimes it does work. Mostly when it is warm.
    Its like there is some engagement pin inside the rear wheel that sometimes engages and sometimes doesn't..
    Anyone know? many thanks!

    • @GrinTechnologies

      Sounds like you have a rear freewheel or cassette freehub that has sticky pawls and sometimes fails to engage. If so this is a bicycle hardware issue, not an electronic or motor issue.

    Question for you:
    I have a Jetson bolt pro. Originally 36v, I ran it on a 48v 20ah battery and 350watt controller (after market). It worked fine for months - topped out at 22 mph.
    I swapped out the 350w controller for 1500w controller. It accelerated fast and pulls incredibly steep hills. It ran perfectly for about 20mins. I turned the bike off and took it home.
    When I powered in back on - the motor spin incredibly fast with no load (scarily fast). However, when I add load (sit on it) the motor doesn't spin (externally). I can hear it running though.
    How can I repair this - or where can I buy a replacement 14" motor hub motor?

    Do they create a lot of rolling resistance, made of lightweight alloy? Can it work as generator or even allow regenerative breaking?

    • @GrinTechnologies
      @GrinTechnologies  3 роки тому

      These hubs have a freewheeling clutch on the planet carrier so they have no rolling resistance but also are not capable of regenerative braking. For that we would recommend the GMAC hub motor. You could use the eZee as a generating spinning backwards though since then the clutch would be locked.

      @GrinTechnologies  3 роки тому

      It's not required with this version of the hub motor (notice how both spoke flanges are on the hub shell), the wheel can stay laced in the rim. But after about 2018 eZee changed their rear motor design with the spokes on the side plate, and so at least half the spokes have to be removed first before opening. It's a bit of a PITA.
