Motor Test
It is highly unlikely that your E-Glide powerboard would quit working because of a faulty motor. The motor is very rugged, and normally lasts for years. A direct hit on a curb on concrete could break a magnet, but you would know this by the grinding sound the motor would make. It would still work. One issue which would stop the board from working would be a broken motor wire. This is easy to test with your voltmeter.

| Spin the drive wheel by hand. If you get a reading on the voltmeter, the leads are not broken, the motor is functioning, and this is not the problem. | |
