    The pain!! Well I am £365-00 poorer but unfortunately no better off. New battery does the same as the old one. Contacted cyclepoint who are very helpful. I have sent all the info to them and they are going to try Ezee to see if they have an answer. If that fails perhaps I should check the bus...

    battery serial no Many thanks for your prompt reply. The battery serial no is S/NJGJAD100143. The bike runs if the front wheel is lifted off the ground but cuts out if any load is applied to the wheel. Thanks
