    Good news! :cool:
    In order to help other simbuilders, what were the section of the wires?
    the weak and the good ones?

    I got my wires from an AC Cable and I thought it has high amperage rating.
    So, I bought some wires from the shop and they offered wires that are used in car.
    After I soldered it, I tried it and that's it.

    P.S.


    1. Check the wirings and connections.
    2. Isolate ground of motor.
    3. Always check the wires you are using.

    Sorry that I have to say that you have been advised very early in this thread to check out the wiring and you did not so, shame on you :) Nice you have fixed the issue.

    Hi! Need some help from you guys.
    All is working fine except the fact that when I'm riding the platform, the motor has difficulty in turning.

    when there's no load in the platform(no one is riding), the motor can move well. But when I ride the platform, the motor can't turn.

    The angle of the view is not perfect but so far as what I can see the lever mechanism is one thing but at least the motors are too weak, IMO.

    looks that way like the motor is stuffed. Have you got better pictures of your sim and the motor placement?
    That whole setup looks wrong

    stuffed? Tried to translate but didn't make any sense to me :) NTL you are right the setup is wrong and not only the motors which are a big issue.

    stuffed , buggered, bombed, nuked, wrecked, broken, f....kd up mate,
    Yes, design of motor placement and motors a problem
    Let him figure it out

    @Ralph Manuel I can't see all, BTW I see only one motor!! And I see a big steel plate, it weighs a lot! I see a very weak motor, very old and perhaps "stuffed" as @bsft has been said.
    Where are you coming from? Perhaps you have no good possibilities due to restricted resources, anyway if you want to ride this rig you have to redesign and/or you have to look for stronger motors and better levers (or rods).

    Hi Pit, I will only use one motor, that's all I need, because its 1 dof like a seesaw.
    BTW, the platform has a frame and a thin plywood, so it doesn't weight that much.
    Yes, the wiper motor seems quite old. Don't have good resources of materials that's why this is happening.
    Now, I'm looking for stronger motor, but all I saw is old big wiper motor.

    OK,
    OK, but how much is much? Or do you know, how many kg the motor has to lift? A technician (not me) can explain the relationship of torque, watt, newton meter, etc.
    If you will get stucked by finding some stronger motors you can try out some springs (or "spring helper"). Old and cheap mountain bikes have linear springs inside the fork, which are very light and useful.
