    Ebco Eagle LCD display unit

    The issue you face is that not many local dealers will want to touch an ebike so old, or one they didn't sell. The best option, if you can, is take it back to the dealer you bought it from. If you just want the part, Ebco themselves may have some left-over parts, Holland Bike Shop sell or can...

    GoPro mount for the Woosh Rio

    The Gopro mount is quite limited. Most cheaper non-Gopro cams come with handlebar mounts as standard that adjust in all directions. This one looks fairly reasonable and a lot more versatile - and half the cost of the Gopro mount too: PULUZ Bicycle Handlebar Camera Mount, Aluminum Alloy Bike...

    Battery discharger/level indicator

    There are a few options on Ebay and Amazon that would/should/might work (EDIT: I did post an example, but the one I had posted may not work for you). I also knocked up 4 x 12v 40w MR16 domestic halogen lamps in series to part-discharge a full 36v battery to a storage level (it's roughly a...

    "...container loads of bikes were selling out within days..."

    Extract from The Guardian 21st March 21: "Electric bikes and sporty road bikes are currently selling particularly well at Decathlon, up 170% and 65% respectively in the first part of this year, but sales of hybrids and commuter bikes are already ahead of 2020. In the UK, deliveries are also...

    New here!

    We used to have a member here who routinely extended a warm welcome to all new members... but I haven't seen him/her for a while now... I've never heard of a "Mobiky Youri 16" or a "mezzo", so I've nothing to offer... except welcome, and good luck with your conversion!

    Import VATand Duty

    I think you'd be wasting your time and money trying to order any Fiido off either Amazon or Alibaba (or anywhere else for that matter)... the order still has to be routed and shipped through one of Fiido's own distribution centres - which Fiido just aren't doing to UK customers right now because...

    Please take me back to school battery electrics

    I do wonder why it is that e-bikes don't add cadence to the display - especially as the bike already knows what it actually is! It's useful to know at a personal health level, and at a motor efficiency and protection level too. Even my cheapish smart home cycle trainer can display it.

    Help! I'd like to get Fiido D4S

    Hi Jan. Welcome to the site! No, I don't know any more I'm afraid. This is my understanding: Fiido used to ship e-bikes in bulk from China into Poland, and distribute throughout the EU (inc UK) from there. Obviously, Fiido pay import duties, levies and taxes when bulk-shipped into Poland. When...

    Vengeance battery not charging

    Sorry, I just realised I posted the wrong Halfords battery link above. I've corrected that now. The link now shows the two options towards the bottom of that page - they're both £385. Electric Bike Chargers & Accessories | Halfords UK

    Vengeance battery not charging

    www.ebikebatteries.co.uk uses insat as a trading name on ebay. This is the charger if your plug matches this photo: Bikes made 2019+ use a different battery and charger plug, which I think he also does. eBike Batteries Phylion Mini 5-Pin (BL23) 36v 2A Lithium-ion charger (CE & ROHS Certified) –...

    Vengeance battery not charging

    There are things you can test: i.e. what is the battery voltage? If it's too low, the battery has a lower limit below which it won't charge. There are posts on this forum that explain how you can open it up to test individual cell-strings and correct those strings/cells that might be too low...

    Ebco m45 help please

    We're on a roll here: In post 30, I gave a link to an article in Cycling Industry News that said: "Over the last six months the EBC has trained over 200 individuals from IBDs, Halfords, Cycle Republic and staff from all 66 Evans stores". So I just called the OP's local Evans store out of...

    Ebco m45 help please

    Okay, so apart from ebike-centre in Chichester who have the TranzX diagnostics mentioned in Post 51 above, we have 2 other ebike shops that have replied first thing this morning to an email I sent last night. A "Shout Out" goes to: eBike Sussex Richard, RCC Southern Ltd, eBike Sussex 38-42...

    Ebco m45 help please

    Post 51 - ebike centre in Chichester, 28 miles from you, TranzX accredited. It took me 50 minutes to find. I may have one in Brighton too, if they come back to me today.

    Ebco m45 help please

    I don't really follow your thinking. It isn't the CANbus that's failed here: It's something on the OP's bike - motor, battery, controller etc - that isn't (or at least wasn't) working properly. The CANbus has simply recognised there's a fault and is preventing the bike from working until that...

    Ebco m45 help please

    This is the old Betamax vs VHS argument, isn't it? As with cars, CANbus is useful for diagnosing faults - plug it in and it tells you exactly what and where the problem is. Not everyone has the skill, knowledge or expertise to fix their own e-bikes, as this forum shows. Being able to take your...

    So which part of the country are you in? Are there any clues as to how the fault happened?

    Ebco m45 help please

    I do agree, but TranzX's "modus operandi" is to give you the advantages of an (in theory) easily diagnosed CANbus system well below the cost of Bosch or Shimano. Yes, the OP is having trouble finding a dealer who has that system, but even the multitude of Bosch dealers who do have the Bosch...

    Ebco m45 help please

    You would think so, wouldn't you? Do you have any clues as to how the fault arose? Maybe it was prolonged abuse that just fried the sensor and the motor got cooked too? The motor is an F15 - still current in the TranzX 2021 catalogue. That same motor is also used on two current Raleigh folding...
