I did change that to 4 x 40w lamps: 12 x 3 =36v, and as we all know, a 36v battery charges to 42 v, so 3 are kind of over-volting a bit. The 4 lamps are still working. I also did eventually add the wattmeter d8veh/vfr400 suggested; for a few quid, it's less hassle that putting a multi-meter in...

Digital TranzX systems use part pairing and a payload file - that is, if you change a component, you need the dealer diagnostics to reload the firmware and update serial numbers. It's all a bit OTT Apple to prevent you doing your own repairs. I don't know that display, but from what I can see...

What bike is it using the TranzX system, which TranzX motor/system is it, and what's not working? My own local tidy tip has set aside a container for collecting unwanted bikes. A local charity collects them, reinstates them, or else salvages parts and recyles whatever cannot be re-used...

Brigitte posted on my profile: To keep it in the public domain Brigitte where it may help others too, and other members here may suggest other options that I haven't considered: 1) Elife are a brand sold by Argos and some TV shoppng channels etc. A company called ebikes seem to sell Customer...

As a chunky 19st rider, I used my 36v TranzX (quality cells) 403Wh/11.2Ah battery on my hybrid 700c wheeled Ebco e-bike this morning. I know I can get 35+ mixed terrain miles out of this battery normally in warmer, calmer weather. This morning... 18mph winds, 5c temperature, ended up using...

Everything you say points to a worn and tired battery that now needs replacing. A fully charged 36v battery should reach 41-42volts. That yours only reaches 39-40v is the first sign of trouble. The second sign is that as soon as you put a higher load on it (the motor is drawing high current)...

Yes, we seem to have lost @vfr400 - a very valuable resource. Checking the postings, one can easily see who was responsible.

I don't think anyone here is "doomsaying". Everybody here, including me, is very happy that Chris is delighted to have his battery fixed. What I'm questioning is this: Chris believes his battery is "recelled with brand new uprated and matching cells". Work out how many 18650 cells there are in...

Have you tried Pro Rider in Northampton? They imported the bikes, so should be able to help.

I still don't really follow this Chris. I'm going from memory here, but bear with me... Your ebike, a 24v Argos Mantra cost new £499. You bought yours second hand, and said you weren't prepared to spend more on a replacement battery than the bike cost you... when the "official" replacement...

I'm 19st, Fiido D11 folding e-bike, 20"x1.75" tyres, 50psi, ordinary Schwalbe Marathon (Green Guard), mudguards fitted. Rock solid whatever you do. Is there still decent tread? Compound too hard and slippy? IIRC from your previous posts, you felt the steering was a bit twitchy on corners, as...

I'm not saying I disagree with what you're trying to do. I just didn't understand the logic. I was hoping you'd explain why the next model up at less cost than you're planning to spend didn't meet your exacting requirements - which superficially at least it does. But, as you explain, it makes...

Welcome Shaun. Super 73's seem to have a cult following. I don't know a lot about 73's, but am curious as to your upgrade. IIRC the ZG is the entry level steel frame 250w rear hub EU model? Changing that to a 1000w mid-drive seems complicated when the next EU Super 73 model up (Aluminium...

Welcome Gina! If that's the Minerva sold by e-bikes direct, they would be a first port of call. If you want your battery recelled, ebike batteries are often recommended here (there'll be an ad in the margins of this page). Or if you want help sourcing a third party battery, you'll need to post...

In my opinion, it's a combination of mediocre battery cells and how you're using your bike. Lower quality cells can't take as much abuse as premium cells. Neither like the high current demand placed upon them when using a throttle, especially from a standing start or "cruising" (i.e. relying...

I agree 100% on the Creosote. As for the 20mph/throttle ruling on e-bikes, one of my three e-bikes is already prepared in anticipation off that change!

That's neither right nor acceptable. Fiido's warranty policy is here. Email your photos and other details to them on the address given. It should be replaced.

There are a load of twats on Social Media who buy an electric bike for £600, de-restrict it to top 20+mph and ride on throttle only (which thrashes a battery, especially a cheaply-celled one), and around rough trails where even a professional MTB would have a hard time... then they're crying...

The switches may be normally open so when you apply the brake the switch closes to make the circuit, or normally closed that open when you apply the brake. If I'm thinking this right, when the brake switches are disconnected the circuit is open, and when you connect the brake switches, they're...

I'll chime in an opinion although I've never heard of the brand... even though they seem to be Birmingham based. I look at the price - £1300. Then deduct VAT, Import costs and transport, and a margin for a dealer/reseller. Then consider the labour involved in constructing quite a complex...
