Urban Mover offered NOW SPOKEN FOR
UPDATE - BIKE NOW SPOKEN FOR.
Of course, it's not actually working...
It's a UM55 "Cruiser" step-through. I had an intermittent problem which has become permanent. Details on these threads:

I've tried Haku's tip of disconnecting/reconnecting all the wires, but it still doesn't work. I'm not a tinkerer by nature. Somebody else might be able to get it going, but I can't, and I'm not prepared to pay anyone else to try. The fact that the problem started intermittently suggests the fault's in the electronics rather than the motor.
Bike was bought January 07, so it's out of warranty. Done about 750 miles. It has the NiMH battery, which has been charged about 60 times, so should still have quite a lot of life left. Nominally 24V, at the moment it's showing 26.3V on a meter. (But if you want the battery, you have to take away the whole bike!) Manufacturer claimed a weight of 22.9 kilos for bike+battery. I weighed it once, and I made it closer to 24kg, but it's still a fairly light e-bike.
Anyone willing to collect it from Oxford can have it, including charger. Reply to this post or PM me. If no takers, it'll go either to Ebay or the council dump. I'm tired of it.
