Great and thanks. Can you tell me what the negative is wired up to? Is it the negative on the battery? Can't get any sense from the supplier but the symptoms are that the wheel will turn on opening the throttle but then stop. On opening the throttle again it does the same. Regards, Gerry
The hall sensors only appear to work when the wheel is turned backwards because there is an internal freewheel device (unidirectional clutch) which allows the wheel to turn in a forward direction without actually turning the motor (this eliminates an awful lot of unwanted drag while pedalling without power).
If the motor is not turning, the magnets will not pass the hall sensors to trigger the expected voltage response.
Sorry for the last post - listened to your voice and everything became clear!

Flip the magnet on the spokes of your wheel mate.
