Magic Pie III Updates
MAGICPIE3FOCUSPOWER:
Okay I have replaced the bearing.
Running time is now more then 2500 km, but due the salt on roads.
The big axle is corroded and when attempting top open the motor.
A lot of forces was needed, as resust the motor stator cracked.
So this is the end ;D just throw it it the trash and bought HS3540 motor again.
Ofcourse I need to mod this motor, otherwise it will died in a short time (cable shaving issue).
Bikemad:
I'm very sorry to hear your motor is damaged, but how and where was the force being applied to cause damage to the stator?
Any chance of posting some pictures of the damage so we can see exactly what has occurred.
Also, a bit more information about what you did could help to prevent others from causing similar damage.

I will make some pictures.
Well I have performed same steps when opening the motor before.
Just removed all screws, apply some at freewheel side axle.
But it didn't work at this time, so apply some force at disc side axle.
The disc side cover will now lift a few millimeters.
Now you can apply force at freewheel side axle to remove to big bearing cover.
This all what I did.
The big bearing is just to tight (corroded to axle) to remove.
So I think is the troublemaker.
I don't want to spend more money to make it more reliable.
This motor is not easy to mod.
I am riding 70 km a day, so a reliable and easy maintenance motor is welcome ;D
But I had fun with this guy, too much power for some scooters when challenging me hahaha.
MAGICPIE3FOCUSPOWER:
Here are the pictures.
As you can see the motor is fully modded ;D
As I know the issues of this motor before, I wouldn't spend money to make this motor better ;D

Hi,
I am having a similar problem, 2 months ago when I received the Magic Pie 3 48v.
It was working perfectly, then 2 weeks ago sometimes it didn't start on its own, I had to pedal for a few meters then the engine would start.
Yesterday he engine didn't start again, I pedalled for 200m and still nothing happened I only hear a small noise from the engine meaning it is alive but it doesn't want to turn. I only hear the noise if I pedal but it doesn't bring power. I tried in freeweel mode and even by turning the wheel by hand it is to weak to start. (battery fully charged, throttle showing green light, and same problem if I unplug the brakes and cruise control button)
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
