You need a better battery perseus, by the time I get to Bramber and on to Shoreham I will have already ridden 55 miles and just over half way through my ride.

The cheaper batteries used on the more entry level folding bikes like yours probably do not have the best quality cells and may lose their usable range quite quickly. On my old Oxygen Ebikes of 2011 vintage, I have when needed. replaced their silver fish batteries with Yose ones sourced of the internet. The last one I bought quite recently from Ebay. I paid £165.62 delivered, for a 36V15Ah battery that came with a charger and is working beautifully. I believe they sell batteries of many different styles and might enable you to buy a spare battery to extend your range. You should check that there is not any "protect" technology built in to your bike to prevent you using a generic third party battery. You could also check if the suppliers of your bike could sell you another spare battery. Woosh bikes often recommended on this site allow you to buy an extra battery when you buy a bike from them.

When I saw the thread updated, I was expecting happy news that you and your bike were still going, and I was already thinking about the right words to congratulate you and say how pleased I was. I'm shocked. Instead, I send you my best wishes for a quick and complete recovery and hope that you get suitable compensation from the driver. Can you tell us more? Did you get their details? Will they pay?

 

[georgehenry]

Likewise, I am sorry to hear of you being knocked off your bike by a car, and hope you are feeling better soon.

Being a fairly new member clicking on your post update landed me at post #1 and as i read through i was not expecting the bombshell of your latest update. I Hope you have a full and speedy recovery, and the driver gets the whole library thrown at him.

I've .been out on this bike, but it needs changes, no throttle is a big handicap.

Sorry to hear that. Can you get a no-win, no fee solicitor to help you.

no win no fee accident solicitors - Google Search

In theory you've got 3 years to sue for damages. The reality is you must start ASAP. No Win No Fee Lawyers need at least a year to build a case and assess the likelihood of profit in order to proceed, and at least another year for the matter to make it's way through the court system. They won't proceed unless their experts state you have at least 60% chance of winning. If less than 60%, you may be saddled with fees for work done by the legal team up until that point, depending on what the contract terms are, after which they may offer to contine on a paid basis at high cost.
