Any ideas on a wheel ?

What is the full story ? ive never split a rim in my life.

Electric/petrol power ?
Metal brake blocks ?

Any decent rim/wheel should last more than 3 months.
What are you doing to wreck them so quickly?

Have a look at Superstar Components for wheels. They currently have an offer for 33% off Essential V3 WTB wheels.

Rim brakes bafang motor on a spez hardrock frame.What happened was i was going down hill rode over a stone or something with front tyre then the rear.I applied the back brake which locked up against the rim . some how riding over the object did that to my rear wheel .The bike is fantastic but it is high maintenance .Rear brake pads last 2 weeks .Ive bought a rear wheel for now with a disc .For the miles it does it takes a beating .The bafang motor is epic .

Sounds like your brakes are rubbing or being engaged while the motor is driving.
