It is amazing riding my new e bike today - unbelievable!
However I have only one working brake.
The front brake locks in and then the wheel does not turn :/
The only way to get it turning again is to fiddle with the big kink in the cable and it takes about 30 seconds to loosen the wheel to motion - not so high tech!
Basically the plastic cable housing is so twisted and kinked in one spot (almost a 2 cm, knot, that I cannot straighten it.
The twist might have happened in transit, anyway is there a possible simple fix or technique to straighten it, maybe electrical tape to hold it, perhaps the cabling inside is now too damaged, is it likely that I will need a new break cable??
Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated!
