Motor & Powertrain
The motor and powertrain turn battery power into motion on your e-bike or scooter. Loss of power, strange noises, or no assist usually point to the motor, controller, or sensors.

Services in this category
- Controller ReplacementThe controller is the brain that drives the motor. A failed controller can cause no power, cutouts, or erratic behavior. Replacing it with the correct unit restores normal operation.
- DiagnosticNot sure what's wrong? Book a Motor & Powertrain diagnostic — a provider will inspect and identify the issue.
- Hall Sensor TestingHall sensors tell the controller where the motor is spinning. When they fail, you get jerky power, no assist, or a motor that stutters. Testing them isolates the fault fast and cheaply.
- Hub Motor Repair/ReplacementHub motors live in the wheel and can fail from worn bearings, burnt windings, or water damage. We repair or replace the hub motor to bring back full, reliable drive.
- Mid-Drive Motor ServiceMid-drive motors deliver power through the cranks and need periodic service to stay smooth and quiet. We inspect, clean, and repair internal gears, bearings, and seals.
- Motor Noise DiagnosticsGrinding, clicking, or whining from your e-bike motor is a warning sign. We diagnose whether the noise comes from bearings, gears, the controller, or something rubbing before it gets worse.
- Throttle & PAS (Pedal Assist Sensor) RepairWhen your throttle stops responding or pedal assist cuts in and out, the throttle or PAS sensor is usually at fault. Repair restores smooth, predictable power delivery.

Frequently asked questions
Why did my e-bike suddenly lose all power assist?
Common causes are a failed controller, bad hall sensors, or a disconnected motor cable. A diagnostic pinpoints the fault.
Is a noisy motor something to worry about?
It can be - grinding or clicking may mean worn bearings or gears inside the motor. Get it checked before it fails fully.
