2012 Giant repair or new bike?

[Aston]

Morning All, I'm an infrequent forum visitor and occasional cyclist!

I have had a Giant Twist ebike since 2014, used during sunny days to go to work or a recreational cycle. I'm now retired, but still using the bike occasionally, though I'd like to use it more. Unfortunately I charged the battery and left it unused for 2 months and it's dead, a red flashing charger light.

So, do get it repaired, quoted around £330 for battery pack reconditioning or look a new bike as I except lots has changed in 10 years, not least I expect bicycles are lighter now,

The bike is in very good condition and always fun to ride otherwise

Thanks

No you can't as they are sold out.

You need to be quicker. I ordered one and will receive it on Friday.
