Hi,
have a question on a BL 36 motor. I know it is brushless so I dont have to change out the brushes. But how often should I repack the bearings or are they sealed??
I appreciate the help.

Every 36 kms, or when they start making a noise.

I went 2 years at 1000 kms a month with a BL-36. I occassionally squeezed some oil near the axle. Usually the problem with an ebike is not the hub but the batteries or controller.
