Weird! The stator cover (middle part) with the turbine look, should look like it's clockwise directional
The middle of the motor is forward directional, while my cast (outer) section is different front to back !! I think I like the front motor style better.
Hopefully it's something simple.. But to fix it would you just remove the casing and push the stator out to swap it? I always wondered if I should do that on the rear to make it look like the front haha.
Monkey, as far as I'm aware, all of the hub "turbine" patterns face the same direction, so they rotate in a forward direction on the right side and in a reverse direction on the left side. In which case fitting the wheel the wrong way around would not change the direction of the "turbine" pattern.
On your wheels, the rim itself is offset to the right on the rear, and to the left on the front. This offset was incorporated into the 20" cast wheels following
the suggestion to enable correct centring of the cast rims.
Is this an external controller, with 3 phase wires and hall wires
In which case colour of the phase and halls may be incorrect....making motor go backwards ?
internal or external controller
Ginge, he's already answered that question:
It is a MP with internal controller.
Hopefully the photo will show whether it's a front or rear wheel, cast or spoked and which side the wires exit from.
When we have enough information it will be much easier to suggest the best solution to this problem.
As the internal controller is based on a similar circuit board to the external one, it might be possible to recalibrate the controller to change the direction of the motor, in the same way as the external controllers could be recalibrated for use with non GM motors.
