Cinturo Sports Bikes - Any Advice?

[chris301up]

Evening fellows Pedalecers. I have been offered a Cinturo Sports Dynamo at a really good price. It is an older model and doesn't come with a battery. However, I'm happy to buy as a project, as it's the style of bike I prefer. As it doesn't come with a battery, this would obviously be one of the bigger expenses and, unfortunately, the original battery isn't available, so cannot go for a recell.

I just wanted to know if anyone as had experience with these? I cannot seem to find any information on who manufactures them, what voltage these are and where spares may be obtained? Any advice would be very much appreciated.

TIA

A Freego eagle clone or as near as, cheap basic low end components.
Battery wise a silverfish is typical as it will fit as a behind the seat post placement.

It should be pretty easy to repair. Is it 24v or 36v? If you don't know, open up the compartment under the battery and see what's written on the controller. Whatever it is, it's worth getting a new controller with LCD. that's about £250 to get it going.

Thank you. Doesn't matter if it's cheap low end to me. As long as it does the job

Thank you. I'll investigate further.
