@MLE_online the donut PCB is kinda neat though.

Promising signals from the hall effect sensor wires
I did it!! I hacked the e-bike motor!
It's only running off of 36 volts here rather than the 48 it's designed for because i don't have a generic 48v controller, so it's going slower than it should, but it works.
Now that I know this is possible, I will go ahead and order a 48 volt controller and a 48v BMS for rebuilding the battery pack

@MLE_online@social.afront.org oh yeah, the hall sensors are right here and probably the 3 cables of the power too, you can just swap the controller if it doesn't cooperate

@MLE_online this is so cool.

@Stellar Yep! Some motors will have their own internal controller stuff and you don't get the hall wires or phases broken out. That wasn't the case this time. The motor is running now

What will you do with your hacked e-bike motor? -

@20002ist I think it's more fun if I leave that to your imagination

Even if this bike had worked, I probably would have done this anyway because this bike was designed to be controlled with an app on your phone and I'm not about having to use apps to use other things.

@MLE_online Way to go, this is so cool. Thank you for posting this series. I'm excited to see how the battery rebuild goes with the new BMS.

This is pretty great. Are you gonna write up your method? Or is it peculiar to the one design?
