    Argos £245 folding Bike Improvements

    One of my customers has an Argos E+ 700c wheeled folder. The battery holder fell apart less than a year old. Its now set in her garden gathering rust. BTW. She now has a 10 year old Wisper 905 still on its original battery which she loves!

    LED Display Alternating Top/Bottom blinking, Bike Not Working

    That is almost certainly a Kingmeter display.(Read old!) Best replace both display and controller with something morden. Brainpower do a reasonably priced combination with the excellent S866 LCD display for less than 50 noteworthy

    Throttle to Pedelec Conversion

    I hear you.I'm still not convinced though that this is an easy mod.For starters you need special tools to mount the sensor bracket - no? ..How many out there have bottom bracket tools? Anyway re : the component I was on about on my my bike,it deffo is a pedelec sensor. ...Bike has no speedo!

    Assume the battery to need replacing and factor in the price of a replacement in the selling price!
