    Help! Pendleton Somerby Ebike - battery casing has disintergrated around the screws

    Honestly, this makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is how the case could get like that, bad bunch of plastic in the Pendleton factory?

    Help! Pendleton Somerby Ebike - battery casing has disintergrated around the screws

    Oh amazing, yes I’ve been looking into thumb throttle bikes and didn’t realise that it might be able to be retro fitted! Would you recommend removing the mud guards?

    Help! Pendleton Somerby Ebike - battery casing has disintergrated around the screws

    I don’t peddle over bumps, but some of them here are unavoidable to dodge. I will look into epoxy, thank you for that tip. It’s a shame that I have no local ebike servicing that isn’t Halfords, and it doesn’t seem like I can buy a new case online and fit it myself, annoyingly.

    Honestly, it is so puzzling, especially as all the screws have done it - not just one or two? What do you mean by abuse of the casing? I don’t think the casing can be dropped? Maybe it has been caused by the few times I have put the bike on it’s seat and handles to fix chain issues? But...
