LightWave Posted May 23 Posted May 23 What would cause a motor to tilt a little over to the left or right? Could it be the bearings not perfectly aligned? I believe this is only with hallow motors. I just disassembled a v11 to see what's going on and the bearings don't look too bad, maybe I will try and swap out the motor and see what happens because I'm really not sure what the issue is and it's very time consuming to take apart and put back together... I thought it was the suspension at first but I swapped them out and it was still tilting over to the right. No matter what I did with the PSI it still tilts over to the right so it can't be the suspension... So just to clarify it's not pedal tilting forward or backwards, it's over to the side so it feels a little uncomfortable to ride. It rides just fine and don't notice it too much at first so I can see how many riders would just think they have regular foot fatigue and not think look see if the tire is 100% straight. I'm noticing this is not an issue with any other wheel that has an axle so I thought it must be the bearings because I only see the issue with hallow motors. I think from now on I will use locktigh on the bearings and make sure they're 100% perfectly set in place either way. Quote
Funky Posted May 23 Posted May 23 Bent axle? Bent pedal "L" hangers? Something bent.. Maybe one leg bent more than other? Â Quote
alcatraz Posted May 24 Posted May 24 On my wheels it isn't the motor or pedals but the shell/motor interface. I added a few spacers and fixed it. I don't know if it's easy or possible on a V11. My wheels are all non suspension. Quote

For any of the hallow motors I'm testing now there's no observable issues so that's why my best guest is bearings. Pedals and all the body parts are in good shape, its just the motor it self tilts over. I didn't notice it at first so Im guess others may have overlooked this issue as well. I can just show up as foot or back feels sore until you look and see the tire is tilted over to one side. I will find out soon and update later but I think and hope it's an issue with the bearings 1 Quote
