I recently bought a Windgoo B20
I am looking for a replacement battery
However, eBay has been notified to remove all listings regarding the bike as it can cause a fire risk
So looking for a replacement battery is difficult
Any advice would be appreciated

Perhaps a battery without a safety critical flaw might be a healthier option? the basic bolt on hailong form factor is widely available.

If the widgoo b20 employs any form of restrictive battery coms however you may find it easier to simply replace the control system (£50-100) too.

I doubt that you'll ever get a battery for it, and if you did, you might set fire to your house. I'd recommend swapping to a frog-type battery from Yose, which clamps to the seat-pin, then run the wires to the controller, wherever it id. Put some of that coiled plastic shrouding around the wires for protection. It'll probably be cheaper as well as safer than the original battery:
