Soldering on phase wires is extremely difficult. They have a high-temperature and chemical and abriasion resistant epoxy coating on them.
Iâd much rather trust my safety to a new motor than try to hack together a repair on a such a serious problem. But thatâs just my two cents.
Thank you, I figured as much. I wonder if conductive epoxy would bond to their coating better than solder?
Donât. It will not.
No.
âconductiveâ epoxy is really a misnomer. It should be called resistive epoxy. As in, itâs not an insulator, but not a conductor either. It isnât good for anything involving more than maybe a dozen milliamps.
If you want to fix that motor you will have to actually replace the windings with fresh wire. All three of them, preferably, since itâll be hard to match the originals exactly.
Bummer. Maybe Iâll try to rewind them some day. For now, Iâll buy an eBay replacement and inspect it for and replace the missing pinâBEFORE I ride it. Well, lesson learned. I will never use another motor without first opening and inspecting it.
If you try to buy the cheapest motor, you will again suffer problems.
Will they be the same problems? Hard to say.
Cheap, Fast, Good. Pick any two 
Just to clarify, the âCheap + Goodâ option means making your own motors and winding them yourself.
Well said. I canât complain much considering the budget route that I have taken. Iâm just not yet ready to buy a pair of better replacements. Hopefully the replacement + âfixâ will get me riding again and give me a spare motor to practice rewinding before I rewind the other.
I like cheap and am fine with the DIY labor that accompanies it. My mistake was ignoring Murphyâs Law in this budget pursuitâa lesson I have learned from this experience.
Buy nice or buy twice
The tinted-aqua-beige one?
I will never not like this quote. It is the truest statement in esk8 and life.
How you know my plans
My belt is pretty loud and sounds like it has some slipping friction going onâŚ
But the belt itself is pretty tightâŚ
It appears that my wheel pulley wobbles, how can I solve this?
This looks okay to me for the tightness of the belt⌠But when throttling the belt jumps up and down and behaves like a ball you sat on for too long that starts rolling like an egg
I should perhaps mention, that my belt is diagonal somehow
I need to move the motor mount towards the middle right?
Loosen the wheel pulley bolts until the pulley can move around a bit, make sure itâs centered, tighten them back down. I imagine if you spin the wheel to different positions, the belt gets looser/tighter?
Yes, each half turn is tighter/less right⌠Just a little bit, but I guess if you have a belt moving that fast, itâs important nothing wobbles / has play.
Iâll try to center it ^^
Any way better than just going with my feeling and eyes?
Yep. Just lots of adjustments until you can get it close to perfect. Get your belt line straightened out too either by moving the mount in or putting some more speed washers on the inside of the wheel.
Align the mounts first, then center the pulley. If the belt doesnât slip itâs perfect after
How much power is there left in a battery after it is at the âdischargedâ voltage? Can i slowly limp it back home knowing the fact that i damage the cells?
I am not qualified to answer but would think these guys would need more info. Such as what battery size and what voltage are you talking about? Seems like it would be hard to make a generalized statement here.
@b264 could you help me out diagnosing?
What am I doing wrong it doesnât sound healthy to me ive spent 4 hours now on this⌠Ignore the beginning stuttering 
The noise is coming from the belt, right?
But I canât tell what the issue is 
Are you running sensored?
