I's just got to around 75% and it's turned green again ☹️

EDIT.. Just thinking about this whilst having a coffee,but I think I've made a school book error judging when I thought or think the battery has hit 20% before I swapped it over for the fresh one. There's 10 bars on the display screen and for some idiotic reason I was thinking 1 bar would equal...

Thanks for taking the time sharing your knowledge. I'm not very good with electrics so I will have to get someone else who's got a better idea and more confidence than me to check it over. In fact I have a good friend who works in the electronic industry who knows his onions about these kinds of...

Hi. I've recently been given by a good friend a very nice Ebike that I'm enjoying immensely. It came with two batteries,The original and a replacement.The original would not charge from new so the company sent a replacement and never asked for the faulty one back. The issue with it is that when...

Hi again. I'm a newbie here but I've been a keen cyclist for many years. I've always had a conventional road bike and never considered myself ever getting an Ebike. Not too long back I would happily cycle 200 miles a week without feeling it, but the last few years, age has slowly caught up with...

I little bit of an update on my spare battery. I've had a few rides out on it now and the range has slowly increased with each charge.My first outing on it returned around 34 miles before the battery hit around 20% but its slowly increased to around 46 miles.Im putting this down to it being a...

Great advice and thanks for taking the time to share it out.

It's good having an extra battery and I'm really pleased I've managed to breath some life into to the original one. I've been a keen cyclist for many years now and have done a few century rides across Wales, but a couple of years back my heath took a turn for the worst(just general old age stuff...

A throttle is good though if you're starting off on a steep hill.It can take the initial pressure off dodgy knees.Once moving you can get peddling and let the assistance take over

I went out for a ride out today and tested the battery that initially wouldn't charge.I tackled some steep climbs to put it (and me) through its paces. I got around 34 miles out of it before it dropped to 20%. Luckily I took my other battery as well just Incase I was left stranded. Last night I...

Thanks for the good advice Tony.Its now got a full charge according to the led lights on the battery but the charger is still running,so I'm half expecting it to turn green and switch itself off shortly. Tomorrow I will take it for a short ride just to see if it's got the same range as the good...

Thanks for taking time to reply. It's been on charge now for around 3 /4 hours in the back garden and all appears to be well.The charger is just very slightly warm and the battery is cold to the touch.Its reached about 3 quarters charge so I've now switched it off as I've got to go out and get...

Hi again As a newbie to electric bikes I apologize for the 20 questions but here goes again . Just last week I inherited an Ebike to which is only a few months old and has barely covered 70 miles. I've been enjoying it immensely this week cycling along the quiet country lanes and the unusual...

Thanks for replying. Much appreciated

Hi again, I'm a newbie here and recently introduced myself in the introduction section. I've inherited a virtually new Ebike and the last 4 days I've covered around 100 miles on it. Wow there addictive and I find it so much more enjoyable to ride than my ordinary road bike. As I'm completely new...
