George Iliev Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 I've decided to have a go at trying to repair it, and will use that thread to keep you guys posted. If it fails, I'll be buying a whole new motor. I was thinking about getting only the rim from eWheels, but after watching a bunch of videos about the rim removal, I decided against it, as price isn't that different from getting just the rim, and I'll have a spare motor laying around so... Isn't that much of a loss anyway. The method I'm going to try is with a local welder, to mechanically restore the shape (as good as possible, won't be aiming for absolute perfection) and then weld the snaps with argon. We'll see how it goes. I've seen those guys do magic with automotive rims, and I know them from my car tuning years, so... fingers crossed I'll keep posted here .

George Iliev Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 @Harvey Pooka Anyone from eWheels... I saw the threads, and was wondering - is there any way to get a spare rim in Europe? I see that eWheels are only shipping in US so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
