    The problem their is that when you switch bike on and its on its stand, the wheel doesn't turn slowly/motor pulsig until after you pulled back throttle and let it go.

    Powabyke starting to play up :-(

    Ok so I tried running bike on stand with motor only or pedal assist and it isn't cutting out? In the meantime I noticed when its off the ground in motor only and you pull back throttle and close, when the wheel has slowed down to nearly a stop the motor is almost pulsing and keeping the wheel...

    Hi thanks all, it cuts out at any speed. It is getting worse I'm sure so hopefully it will make it a bit easier to diagnose. It's fault is their in pedal assist and motor only. I have just checked connections on battery compartment and all seem tight and ok. It is currently on charge then I am...

    Be a bit lost without bike, I live 9 miles from work, I work nites too! No buses, couldn't afford taxis. Cannot drive now due to medical reasons, got a young baby so can't rely on wife to ferry me round. All good fun! Can't complain though when the bike goes wrong I owe alot to this bike!

    It's an original untampered with bike for sure. The guy I had it off used it about 3 times. It still had the bobbly bits on tyres. The pic I attached before was how I got it like brand new. I have 3 wires coming out speed controller. 1 to motor, 1 to pedal sensor and 1 to throttle. Their are no...

    Hi appreciating the advice. It certainly played up more on way to work tonite. Then it can be fine for 10mins. I will check all connections tomorrow, if I have a battery terminal issue would the led lights not go off intermittently? I am keen to strip motor and do a regrease and inspection but...

    They just have a cable wrapped in a white protective plastic,I followed the cable and it just goes to brakes, no wires going off to controller. Back to work tonight for 4 nites so the next 80 miles could be fun!

    Ok thanks, I wondered throttle possibly? The only thing I have found is that when you pull break levers (either) should the motor cut out? As it doesn't

    Powabyke starting to play up :-(

    Hi thanks for advice, when the motor cuts in and out the led lights do not go off. they go from say half to full when motor cuts out , then back to half when motor kicks back in. This motor cutting in and out happens in a split second and can do it about 3 times in one minute. Then it can be...

    Yeah I believe it's same motor, my journey home is 9 miles with some hills and I pedal assist all the way home and its pretty flat by the time I get their! The batteries are Lucas 12ah and only 4 months old. But they do get charged 10 times a week! My fault is doin it with fully charged...
