Issues with the motor on the ebike can be unique, as there are many forms that a motor issue can reveal itself. It can range from:
- No power
- Low power
- Strange noises
- Error codes
How the problem manifests itself will dictate what is going on with the motor. Unfortunately, when a problem with the motor appears, most of the time it means a whole new motor is needed, as repairs to the internals of the motor are not possible.
