You have switched it on at the key-switch on the battery, and the battery is fully engaged in its docking station?
Assuming so, you can't do anything without a voltmeter (multimeter). First you have to measure the voltage between the outer two slots in the battery (after removing it). That should show about 28v. If that's OK, you have to disassemble the compartment under the battery. You only have to remove one side to get at the controller connections, so remove the side without the key-switch (two screws in the side plus about 3 small screws in the corners). With the battery switched on, check that you have the same voltage on the two black and red power cables going to the controller. There'll be bullet connections that you can disconnect. Report back when you've done these things, otherwise take it back to Tesco.

Did you manage to get it going faversham222?

Just got it going opened the box and a connector had come off, push it together black tape around it now . Inside the box lots glue gun use but not making anything waterproof . My first fix from this forum , later how to get my Powabyke X24 I just bought on ebay

Confused why you would open 'the box' on a warranted item. Or have you got it second hand?
But congrats on getting it working.

It's a lot easier than boxing it up, driving to the depot and being without your bike for a month!

There are a few here who find it difficult opening a bag of chips , but I would prefer to fix it myself I found that when I opened the box I had to get out my glue gun to make everything waterproof , I did not need the soldering Iron this time.
