    New 36v battery

    When I bought my ebike conversion kit the seller said I should budget for needing a new battery in some years' time and I would need about £1K to buy a new 36v battery. I've seen some on eBay for more like £200. Can I just buy the eBay battery and take my chance or is there something magical...

    So my e-bike (which I had professionally converted) is not turning on. It's the type with a motor in the hub, a throttle with on/off switch on the handlebars, a battery pack and a control unit. I am kind of suspecting (and hoping) it's just the throttle that's faulty. Maybe the on/off switch...
