Don't ride through puddles ?

Yes it would, rotated the brushes 90 degrees and all sorted!!..........oops

Would it make any difference if the end plate with the brushes in was put back 180 degrees out from the outer motor housing?

So I put a new bearing in my oset 16 36v motor 2012 and now it runs in reverse. What might I of done wrong?? I had both sides of the motor off, it was tricky putting the 4 springy things back on (technical term there), I think they all went on properly and as far as I was concerned I didn't touch or change any wires??.......HELP

Well....after I asked on here last night I thought I'd try running the motor direct from the batteries and it worked. Now everything works as it should. The motor is still clunky so I'll investigate new bearings. Many thanks!

Hi all, I've just bought an non running Oset 16 36v 2012 model I think. I got it to work for about 5 seconds, but now nothing. When I turn the key switch on the relay clicks and soon after the controller clicks. I'm fairly sure the batteries are good and I have three red lights on the handlebar. As soon as I turn the throttle the motor will clunk a bit and then nothing. All the connections seem ok, I've read loads of stuff about measuring voltage on the relay and controller but my relay is all sealed and not really sure what I'm doing anyway. The motor seems quite clunky when I rotate it from turning the wheel, is this normal? guessing I will need a new relay or controller or motor (hopefully not a new motor £££) Can anybody suggest some things a simpleton like me can check?
