Title: Rear wheel jammed on my Radcity bike, now motor and display wont turn on. - frea

So today I had a little freak accident. I was riding my bike and rode over what looks like a chainlink fence wire. Somehow, inexplicably, it kicked up and wrapped itself around a couple spokes and the rear cassette. Of course it stopped the bike in its tracks, like a hard stop. I figured I would unwrap the wire and would be back on the road. No such luck. The motor did not come back on and the display also did not work. I replaced the two 30a fuses figuring the extreme resistance on the motor may have fried the fuses. Still no luck. I dont see any wire damage going to the controls. Anyone have a clue on what I should do next. Bike is out of warranty.

You said "rear wheel jammed". Does that mean you can't turn it or get going under pedal power only?  ???

you may have fried the controller.   my guess is the motor is okay.
