Seems as though we may have the first dead unity out there. I saw on one of the Facebook groups the person was configuring there unity worked fine for a little be in normal on then the new motor seized and is still seized after it was unplugged now they said the unity won’t turn on.
Link? Sounds like the motor was shorted

RIP fair unity. Murdered by a faulty motor. Your life was short and meaningless, take hope in knowing we will rip out your organs and replace them frankensteining you back into existence to be the monster you were always meant to be.

That is what I was thinking as well because the setting are not crazy It’s on the electric skateboard club group.
Lol that sucks
The person said it was a brand new TB motor.
Yeah well, there isn’t really anything an esc can do to a motor on the bench that would cause the motor to be permanently broken unless it’s like way over-rated and melted the windings which takes time. So if the motors permanently siezed then something was wrong with the motor in my estimation. Either way the individual bought platinum warranty I think so they should be covered. Carl is handling it.

@tardyparty7 We will be getting some tracking IDs today and your will be available today so address change is now not possible Also shipment is from China and will take 7-12 days in delivery if you still want to change the address you have to contact the courier service after receiving the tracking ID
Really???..
Yeah, a faulty ESC breaking a properly made BLDC motor on the bench without loading is difficult/near impossible if its made correctly. I don’t think anyone educated would argue against this.

Educated or not. Educated people ask questions. It’s how we learn dude. I was hoping for more info on this as to why. I’ve been told otherwise from the same team you work for a while back. That’s why I asked.
Motor detection on a motor that’s shorted, or an ESC ruining a functional motor?
Yeah it’s a bit confusing what I mean by this sorry, really tired last night. Can an ESC make a motor seem broken when it isn’t? Absolutely. Could an incorrectly configured ESC break a motor after you go for a ride on it? Yes, through melting the windings or overdriving it’s maximum speed, the latter would only happen on high voltage high kv motor with low pole count.
However, if on the test bench just revving the board up upside down the motor stops running, and then even after being disconnected from the ESC without ever being ridden the motor is still broken (siezed in this case) it’s hard to imagine how the ESC could cause this, unless maybe the motor was extremely hot, like 200 Celsius such that it could melt the insulation etc. Would be pretty noticable I think and it should smell awful like burnt insulation .
