Hello.
first time forum user.
i have inherited a good but old gazelle m-ion ebike, with the down curved battery inframe, and round shape original bar mounted controller/display.
It does not run, engage or have any sign of ebike operation.
the bike is good in every way, and the battery holds charge, as indicated on the display.
im aware its limited ability, and likely range with old battery, but it could take me , instead of the car .
A fully charged battery, dumps immediately on attempting use.
ive made enquires , and come to conclusion, that the display needs pairing or replacement.
A 300 mile trip needed ,to the gazelle dealer on south coast , and their less engaging attitude ,makes this uneconomic.
Can the original round display/controller be replaced ? with some non gazelle aftermarket device.
Can this be done at home by me ,the very competent home hobbyist, or a shop near the east midlands ?
Any advice welcome, or an idea of what to do instead, with a slow heavy bike that has plenty of life left.
Thanks
