Powell,

Monte, Easter3's husband, brought her bike to me to help them sort out their battery choices. We got bogged down with Error 1 using different bike/board/battery combinations. He left the bike with me and I soon found the data cable we used for all the test had a broken orange wire inside that cable. I fixed that and Error 1 is gone.

Before finding the fix, I was frustrated and considering connecting my motor directly to an external controller. I tried to open my hub but got stuck on the access to the cir-clip holding the cover on the controller side. I should have seen from the photos it's pressed or pushed on and isn't threaded. Anyway, Monte took my motor for Easter to have a look. She asked you how to open it. Just for the info, did you need a gear puller to remove the collar?

It's a good thing I couldn't open the hub and bypass Eplus's controller. Having 2 bikes to swap parts for tests allowed me to get both bikes working perfectly on either the stock NiMH D cells hub or an external Lithium battery. I learn a couple things that I haven't seen published before. I will do a separate posts for each.
