2.4. Motor
Bearings/shaft &
Drive Losses.
Remove the motor from the bike and inspect the
motor shaft and sprocket. You should be able to turn
the shaft freely with your hand. If you cannot , there
may be some debris that has worked its way into the
motor over time and is causing unnecessary
resistance. Secondly, check for wear in the motor
bearings by pushing the shaft in towards the motor
casing. You should not be able to do this. If there is
excessive play in these bearings it will cause the
chain to rub against the motor mount bracket on the
swing arm. The increased friction will cause the
motor to work harder for the same level of
performance and as a result will drain the batteries
more quickly than usual.
1. Replace Motor

recommend you tackle this
unless you have access to
the appropriate tools.
