I am attempting to hack this ebike motor to bypass all the proprietary stuff and what I'm seeing so far is encouraging

@steter I did but I don't know anything about hacking computer code. This is just bypassing circuitry. I wouldn't have any idea where to start with a ring camera because it would be all code stuff

@MLE_online It's probably a mix of both, because chips store the data that would need to be changed. The chips themselves might need to be replaced, or a circuit designed to route around one. I should get one to take it apart. I have an Amazon Echo I've never used. I wonder if it uses the same technology. Hm.

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

Wow, nice work!

@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

@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

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

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

In situ hacking

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.

I am freeing this bike from the prison of surveillance capitalism
