Thanks, @Bikes4two, I'll be sure to observe those guidelines. @saneagle, I'm not going to get into a snarling match with you - however there is a context that is relevant - directly after my observation about my practical skills, I was clear to say "many areas where my knowledge is zero...

@saneagle Why are you telling me that now? I knew I could buy a battery at £200, but at the time I did not know that the fault lay with the battery, so it was a £200 gamble. Given the nature of my initial query I was looking for advice such as that, and it was not forthcoming. And I'm not sure...

Happy to do that, @Bikes4two. The diagnostic was £45, (waived should the repair take place). The total bill was £270, including return postage. Apparently 26 of the 30 cells were found to be faulty. I was quite impressed with the positive approach of the Battery Repair Shop, which contrasted...

Just and update and a thank you... By swapping key components between the two bikes it was immediately obvious that the fault lay with the battery pack. I sent it to the Battery Repair Shop, who were not only very competitively priced, but had the repaired battery back on my doorstep within 48...

Hello, again. Taking the working e-bike as a starter, firstly I swapped the controller from the duff bike, and it still worked; next I swapped the battery, and it didn't work any more. Although I haven't swapped the displays over, knowing that they both work, I feel I have identified where the...

Thanks, @Bikes4two, that is a great suggestion. It will identify (or confirm) the suspect part. I'll still have one dud bike, but if I can get the guidance here I am encouraged by the thought of buying and fitting a new controller, as suggested by @Nealh (thanks, Neal). I have nothing to lose...

Thanks, @cyclebuddy. I should have said that I have been down all the conventional and obvious (to me) routes. I contacted all I could and been ignored resoundingly. Conventional e-bike repairers were disinterested, unless they would be looking at the mainstream brands. The faults were an...

Would help if I attached the pix I said I would...

Hello, again. The bike is an eLife Air, the display and controller wiring pix are attached. I wondered whether I should disconnect all the wires and arrange them in a sort of fan, if so needed I will do that. Please say if you need more. atb Peter

Thank you for a good start for me. I'll go and take some more pix and furnish you with as much detail as I can. atb Peter

Hello, all. I recently bought a pair of ebikes on ebay, one of which has proved to be faulty. They are not one of the prestige marques, rather the opposite end of that spectrum. We just use them to cycle to get the groceries or to the nearest bar when we are touring in our motorhome. I was...
