That's crazy. shows you how much torque those things have. you said that bike was modified. would the modifications possibly caused this? i can see how a smaller front sprocket gear would help lesson stress on those gears. i know a lot of guys have done that.
It's crazy, I think the clutch failed. I have a few emails out to US based Bafang service companies to tell me if this can be fixed and confirm what may have caused it. The modifications were the smaller sproket, and he towed a trailer with the bike for food delivery. Other than that; a fixed seatpost, grips and different seat were the only other mods. I think Sondors did him dirty on the warranty, this is a Gen 2 bike probly less than a year old.
I crashed hard - I am getting pumped with ice on shoulder and back. I clipped a tree when I didn't think i was close to it. Is that how your supposed to do that? 7:21 Boy that is some lube failure. Maybe if the previous owner would have serviced it, it might have been ok. But I am guessing the metallurgy of the gears is not top quality too. And the heat damage is apparent. Get a pulley damn it.
I hope you heal up quick! The trails you ride are narrow at times. I don’t know what I was doing, first time working on it, just wanted to see the failure.
Any idea how many hours or miles were on that motor Matt? That grease was toast. Man, I'd like to see what the original owner put that bike through to get a motor that looked like that. Matt, hope your doing better after your last Covid bout.
Hi Ed, the display was missing so I don’t know how many miles. Grease was toast I think the whole thing is toast, I’m going to keep it for parts. Original owner used it for food delivery and pulled a trailer with spare batteries. Thanks for the well wishes that Covid round took me out of commission for 5 weeks. I haven’t ridden since I left for Brazil! Hope you’re doing well and riding your bike. I’m going to fix my cranks, rear hub upgrade and start riding this weekend.
Future's so bright, ya gotta wear shades.
24-7!
Lots of detail and information... great video, thanks for making it.
Thanks Ronald 👍🏼

@@MattHaley Thanks Matt, It was fun to watch. It makes me want to make sure my grease is always in good shape.
