E-bike Motor spinning - wheel not turning 

Saved my bacon in 2022. I'm quite a seasoned ebiker (built my own battery etc) but my mate asked me to to fix his battery and update his controller. Job sorted but none of the wires were plug and play. Anyway.. It all worked fine and dandy but couldn't get the lights / horn working. So instead of "bodge twisting" the wires together after I sussed part of the lights issue (got the rear & brake light working) I decided to take the controller off and solder it on my workbench. You know what's coming next don't you !! Yup, after connecting it all up it made a heck of a growl and then just span as per your description. The blue & green are pretty faded so I might have mixed them up and the controller lost memory. Watched you vid and tried it. It worked as single speed but noisy so I reconnected again the correct way and put it into learning mode. Success Was beginning to think I was going to have to buy him an new ebike !! (Trail - G) Anyway.. Thanks. Anyone got any tips on how to make the poxy horn & front light work ? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jLWOC16KjmY.html

this was my exact issue! saved me from much headache and waiting. hooked it up like you and now it spins forward! thank you sir.

Thanks guy! I had the same problem and first thought it was something major. Found your video, then after some trial-and-error, I was able to connect the motor wires correctly to get the wheel turning. You likely saved me many hours and a lot of frustration. I owe you a beer!

I know this post is old but helped me figure out my issue. The color combination you have in this video helped me out. It was fine till I took my motor off to change the clutch and then , I hear it run but the wheel did not spin. So thanks I don't know if you will see but, I appreciate it. 😊

Many thanks. This was indeed helpful, as I had exactly the same problem after buying a new controller. (In my case, yellow to yellow was correct, but the blue and green needed to be swapped over.) This tip certainly saved me a load of time, as I was just about to strip down the motor in search of some kind of centrifugal clutch! 😅

Well thx for the video it helped a lot after a full day of trying out all the other potential issues. You combination did not work for me , but another one did. My yellow,blue ,green was mirrored in the opposing direction, green blue yellow. The comment of the motor running but the wheel not turning had me perplexed. My issue was the wheel was not turning but was locked solid ,vibrating loudly and could not be turned by hand , the coils must have been triggered out of sequence and were fighting one another. I had something similar happen to a washing machine once when a positional sensor went bad. Its like it was having a seizure.

Thanks man. I got the same problem and used your wire combination. Now throttle works.

Math certainly isn’t your strong suit lol, but this was indeed the problem and I thank you for saving me a bunch of time.

Fixed my similar problem. Was running backwards. Thank you.

Thanks!! for the information, it was the first video I saw and the problem solved.. what a quick solution,

Thanx a lot! I did rewire before but i did it wrong and after your video its all perfect now!

Thanks for explanation it helped a lot...but later I learned that if you connect those two white wires(short them), it will adjust the phase angle by itself, if possible make another video explaining the same.

Heaving Dane problem ..thank you much for taking time to make your helpful video it was very helpful I got my feature hey bike going again thanks to you

Gives me something to try. Thanks for the suggestion. Great video

Thank you . Just needed the different combination also

Thanks it worked, keep up the good work.

Today you save my life. jaja thank you from Argentina..

Life saver, had the exact same issue. Thanks

Many thanks it saved me alot of time and money

Thanks you so much for this video!!

Wow that was really HELPful!

Thank you so much you will help me a lot

You are a star thankyou I had to do the same . Cheers mate

I had the same problem thank you soo much

Thanks very much you sir are a genius 💯 I was losing my mind this my first ever e-bike and I wanted to do it all myself learning as I go next up BRAKES pray for me

Bugger me it worked..thankyou soooooo much

You are the man thanks

It did work for me too, thanks

It's worked for me thank you so much

Thank you so much for video i have this problem

I LOVE YOU, THANK YOU!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Hi I have an onyx rcr QSmotor the wheel locked up and won’t spin after a hurricane water was above the wheel but it turns on and throttle shows voltage when turning but no movement .idk if the motor is bad or something else

Thanks bro ..I was having the same problem

You are a genious my friend

Same problem Same solutions Thank u

Thank you for the quick and easy video it's what we all die for in the need of help.. can everyone give this guy a subscribe for the simplicity. Thank you

please which cable wires for display and which display i can use here , thank you

Mine Works perfect now !

Do you know what the connector grouped with the Blue, Yellow, and Green wires is? And why it has to be unplugged? On my controller when it’s plugged in the motor doesn’t spin.

Thanks a million.

Hello, i have the same problem and i have inverted the wire as your indication but not solved. Do you have inverted also the wires of hall sensor?

Thanks 🙏

I love you!!!

That was it. Thank you

Some people got confused, this video is for installing new controller, if the phases wires doesent work properly (motor spining but the wheel not) when match the same colors, then swap them till you find the right combination, but if your bike just suddenly the wheel stop turning and the motor spining, then you meed new controller, or in my case new motor because the inside the motor got damaged when i drove the bike throught the curve and the rear wheel got slamed from the top of the curve to the botom, when i was riding it, i didnt know that cauld damage rhe motor assambly.

Did you also change hall wires?

Thank you.

same here now to figure out how to save P settings and they appear different ...ugh BUT Thyanks for this as it fixed my issue of wheel not turning. used same sequence as you show here was color for color match.

When getting motor problem in Controller like 3 motor wire so what should we do?

Thanks so so so much...i was pulling my hair...it has worked.

That controller has a "learn" wire (you can see it in the video). This can be used to choose wheel direction.

It must be my English but how can the motor be SPINNING and the wheel no TURNING? This is a hub motor inside the wheel so either both are turning (spinning?) or both not.

U guys are too funny!!! Hey do you see those two green wires in the back their called smart identification wires their a key connection to helping your hallo sensors find the right phases to rotate the right direction. It just a process of connecting then un connecting... That's what's does green wires do.

You are a life saver, man! My e-bike went backwards after the controller change. Changed everything to match the colors.... still backwards... Then did what you did and now it's good! HOWEVER it's much weaker than wen it went backwards. Any idea on that?

Thank you so much

grace a toi jai pu reparer mon velo le meme soucis merci bcp :)

On that new controller? What is the name of those connectors and maybe please do you have a link to share where I can get them ? I cannot find them ? Please I need then to connect mine ?

It worked for me when I tried swapping wires they worked with multiple combination, but I am having new problem now, the bike doesn't accelerate as it was, when I ride it and accelerate it will stall couple of times before moving off, any help ?

I check out the link you had to look at the combinations. Where are they located? I don’t see anything in the thread you link? Can you list the combinations please. I’m sure it would help more than me. Don’t see anything. /Bklyn👑

Your mistake is assuming the motor was actually spinning. It's not spinning lol, just making the noise caused by PWM Another issue you can get by hooking up the phase wires the wrong way is the motor spinning backwards.

TY BOSS NAG WORK HEHE

That was that problem that i had.. thank dude . Appreciate it

Thank you for this!!!!!!

Having the same problem. Planetary gears were stripped in motor, replaced for new thought that would fix it but now the horrible crunchy noise is replaced with the whirring of the motor and no wheel movement. Going to have a go at this fix 🤞

It’ working after a few combinations It’s looks like different companies have different combinations

My scooter came with the blue and the green wires swapped.i intended to open the controller and rearrange the wires when I got time to do so.

Changing the phase wires works i guess but it is the incorrect solution to the problem, those brain power controllers need to be trained to work correctly and to do that you connect that single green wire together and then power up the bike this will make the controller enter training mode where it attempts to spin the motor in so doing learn the motor so that it runs optimally, sometimes however they come set for direct drive hubs which spin the oposit way to the motor in a geared hub and so the motor spins the wrong way and does not spin the wheel, the correct way to fix this is to pull the throttle during the training phase and this tells the controller to switch the direction

You're on the Ron Swanson piramid. Please and Thank you 😃

My e bike has this same problem I have a super 73 and the front tire just doesn’t turn

it wasnt phase it was your learning wires

Hahaha crapola that was my problem now too same wire combo..

I never mess with my Connection It started grinding a little bit every once in a while Then it all out, quit, grabbing. The motor still spins inside, but That's about it

WOW⚡⚡⚡⚡👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏⭐⭐⭐⭐

They say there’s 6 different combinations, but don’t tell you the other combinations.

36K miles on my ebike now with only one issue... a faulty controller. It took about 30 mins. to swap it out and I have never had another issue. When I started my build I wanted the best all-around ebike possible with the focus on maximum range and the ability to carry/pull hundreds of pounds of gear. So far I haven't seen anything that comes close. Stay safe. If you want to see the bike and the process of building it leave a note on one of my videos since this "channel" doesn't allow links.

Supara sir

No hate but THATS WHAT THE "SELF LEARNING WIRE" IS FOR!

Thank you so much...

ti do 2 birre

ruined my battery

You do know there is 36 combination You have only found one combination what is wrong. You can't just change the phase wires you need to change the Hall sensor wires aswell. You need to find the correct combination or it won't run properly. Not only that it can cause damage & lose speed. I can 100% guaranteed you have Wired that controller wrong. Just because the wheel is turning the right way. It doesn't mean it's the correct combination. The timing will be off
