May 25, 20223 yr Well I knew one day it would happen, But I am very lucky really, as today I was just about 500 yards from my home, when moped just cut out. like a wire had come off. no dash display nothing. so I have now decided I'm going to sell moped, and get a nice electric bike. as no way could i have pushed it all way home if i was say, 7 miles away even a mile would be a struggle, as I'm not young no more. I have spent a good bit on the moped, so IM hoping I can sell it for at least £500 to £600, I maybe going too high. but have done lots to it. and its way too heavy for me to push home.
May 25, 20223 yr Ah well all good things come to an end or even not so good things. You will have to let us know what the reason is when you find it, could it simplt be battery lvc or evena fuse ?
May 25, 20223 yr Author Ah well all good things come to an end or even not so good things. You will have to let us know what the reason is when you find it, could it simplt be battery lvc or evena fuse ? do you mean battery level. as its not battery as I have it on a charge now, and it 1st said 51v so not used much. Yes maybe a fuse, I think there is just the 1 fuse behind front light panel. or maybe a wire has jolted loose to ignition. I don't think its motor end. But I have had this worry on my mind for a good while. if say I had broken down. a good way from home. no way could I push it home, and no way can I use pedals. legs too long. I am lucky really I was just about 500 yards from home. so this is a wake up call for me. I'm too old to be pushing a moped. its nice to ride, but too heavy for me. least if I had a light bike electric I could walk home with that or even pedal home. if electrics went, as I would be much higher up on seat
May 25, 20223 yr Sorry to hear this, it’s been an interesting saga, your moped journey. Hope that you find a nice eBike that doesn’t require any work and enjoy the future cycling.

May 25, 20223 yr Author Sorry to hear this, it’s been an interesting saga, your moped journey. Hope that you find a nice eBike that doesn’t require any work and enjoy the future cycling. Yeah its been nice riding the moped, But it made me think today, I was lucky as I was just 500 yards from my home. I cant take the risk of it breaking down further away, as wont have the strength to push it all way home. I have wondered why I have not seen many electric mopeds around lol see why now. too dam heavy to push home.
May 25, 20223 yr Author they will put it in a big wooden box and post it, you will have to pay import duty tho! Why pay all that when there are places in the UK no need to get 1 from Germany, are you there salesman LOL joke
May 25, 20223 yr Convert a Dahon folder? I'd just fold mine and grab a bus/taxi/plane/train if my folder broke down. Much easier to lug up stairs too. Yes I get 200% for every Dahon and bbs01b sold. Some Dahons roll when folded, which is handy when running along a train platform.
May 25, 20223 yr Yep, sometimes life's too short for all of the stress and hassle. Give Woosh a call, they have some nice uk legal bikes with big batteries and throttles, plus they'll be ready to help if you ever get any problems
May 25, 20223 yr Hi billy boys , on my Erider 15 there is a main fuse under the seat , it is a normal household RSB (?) , if it has tripped just switch it back on , I don’t know if there is any other fuse on the e15 , hope it is something simple . A e bike is better than the e rider it’s less hassle on roads and cycle paths .

Give Woosh a call, they have some nice uk legal bikes with big batteries and throttles, plus they'll be ready to help if you ever get any problems Well cant do much until I sell electric bike plus this moped. should hopefully make around £800 with both sold so time to get a decent electric bike what's light to carry plus quite fast not too much pedalling. as old legs not up to scratch now.
May 25, 20223 yr Billyboya , let’s hope you manage the sale , if you decide to get another Erider 15 just make a offer for mine it’s less than 00250 k on the speedo and arrange own delivery , but serious though a normal Ebikes is a better buy .

No its not that under the seat, as that's just a safety switch, which disable the moped. there is a fuse just the 1 behind front panel going to ignition. orange wire I think. I wont know until I get moped up to my flat on 1st floor. my brother is going to help me up stairs Friday morning. as no where on ground floor to look at moped. I don't think its anything to do with the motor cable, as it was easy enough to push home. I was only 500 yards from home so great. as I know from last experience. when the cable twisted and broke. it was dam hard to push, like brakes was sticking. But found out it was to do with the phase wires touching. will give the effect of brakes sticking. its how you test the phase wires. there is 3 going to motor, Plus 5 thin sensor wires too. red + black- and blue, green & yellow go to the 3 sensors around motor itself.

He He Ya having a giraffe Nar wont be getting a erider 15 again. spent too much doing mine up and its way too heavy to push around. Im getting too old for that. need a nice light bike electric, easy to carry if needed. and goes like S**T off a shovel hheeheheh
May 25, 20223 yr Well I am dead electric wise , so apart from cable colours I know nothing about , should a fault occur on my bike I will seek advice on the forum , lets hope you get the moped going as it will boost the sale
May 25, 20223 yr Author Well I am dead electric wise , so apart from cable colours I know nothing about , should a fault occur on my bike I will seek advice on the forum , lets hope you get the moped going as it will boost the sale Well I've had enough practise on this erider 15. took me ages to fix it. with help from people here, as I was totally clueless I never even knew there was 8 wires going to motor, 3 phase and 5 sensor ones. I've learnt loads here, Yes I think its probably just a wire has came loose somewhere. or maybe the fuse, but what's caused the fuse to go if it is that. mind you going over bloody bumps in road don't help. I will let all know here if its a loose wire or came out ,or fuse. lets hope so. as I don't wanna be taking off back wheel and motor again. I don't honestly think its motor or back wheel axle etc. But I have to fix it to get it ready to sell.
May 25, 20223 yr Author Singing out it’s tea time Ha ha ha singing out, we all make mistakes as the hedgehog said to the wire brush. I think you mean signing out
May 26, 20223 yr Author Are well 1 bit of good news, my electric bike sold on ebay, I say sold, but it says awaiting payment , and ebay has told buyer they have 48 hours to make payment. I have buyers address etc, and he has even sent me a message, saying when is best time to collect bike. obviously I have not given him a day etc. I messaged him to say why do it say awaiting payment. I mean how can someone or even ebay say its sold when no payment made yet. I'm thinking did he just say bought, so to give him time to get money, so to stop others trying to buy bike. Im probably wrong here. But Im still waiting for his reply Cancel the Above, Person has now made contact with me on eBay. and left his mobile no. I rang him and he said, eBay gave him a code no. as he is coming to pay on collection. I didn't realise eBay do that for collection only. But he is paying cash. so nice one. Also would you believe, My brother came to give me a hand up 2 flight of stairs with my moped. so I can fix why it cut out yesterday. we got it up ok, I said to my brother I will just try it. bugger me it all works again. so I was right its a loose wire behind the dash somewhere. I knew it would be as it was like someone cut power. I will be checking behind the dash later and tidy up any loose wires. then when done get selling moped as well. as I was lucky yesterday only 500 yards from home when it cut out. so it must have jolted wire banging it up steps LOL . but will still check and fix (As Del Boy used to say in fools and horses ) Lovely Jubbly ) Edited May 26, 20223 yr by billyboya
May 26, 20223 yr hang on, all this time you've had an electric bike as well? why not use that if you are worried about breaking down with a heavy moped
