Slartibartfast Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 As discussed in this thread I have an MSX with a motor that completely pooped its pants and needs replacement, but I'm having a surprising amount of trouble finding one. While Jason from eWheels has them listed for 290 USD: https://www.ewheels.com/product/18-2000w-motor-msx-msuper/ unfortunately he won't ship here to Australia. The only other place I can seem to find it is on Green Fashion's AliExpress store for 350 USD. As it is I've been far from enamoured with green fashions service and just kind of find it galling to pay 60 USD more than what Jason is charging for what has proven to be rather substandard service. Anyone know of anywhere else I could get such a motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy510 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Any friends in the USA that would forward it to you? I've shipped a bunch of stuff to NZ and AU for other motorcycle people over the years when the seller here won't or can't Have you tried to contact Gotway directly?

I don't know anyone directly but I could always employ the services of a freight forwarder (though that seems excessive). 3 minutes ago, Willy510 said: Have you tried to contact Gotway directly? I have actually tried to contact Gotway directly but after two weeks haven't received a reply. Guess I'll try again. They're not a particularly easy company to get in contact with. Any suggestions on the best way to actually contact them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also just sent an email to: begode11@kebye.com (which I got of the kebye website) and was surprised to receive a reply just now. Will see how it goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroThruster Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I work for the USPS, if you don't mind that carrier and cost, I don't mind forwarding it on to you. It would be nice however to know shipping costs to you before you invest in the motor, if we can get the dimensions of the box and weight, I can get a price beforehand to see if it's worth your while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the bearings feel smooth and there's zero play in them at all. I feel like if I replace the bearings it won't make a difference. But where it started making contact inside, part of the stator is damaged so I'd rather just replace the whole motor. Any idea on whether a msp C30 motor would work?
