Thanks to my brother for doing the tests and for the advice. The bike is in warranty song have emailed Paul at 8fun for a replacement battery. Will take up your kind offer of help Kristen if needed ;)

Hi. Thanks again for this. I've had a go at doing what you suggest but there is no power to the motor when I short between red and blue with green and black disconnected. I've a feeling the loose wire came from a sensor??? Is there any way of checking the controller? This bike has been so...

Forgot to say. In haven't shorted it out as I'm not sure which blue and read lead to do.

Hi. More information. When I took the controller lid off there was a loose red lead. It's paired with a blue lead and joined to a connector. I've re fixed that and now when I turn the power on the lights on the dash board flick up through and stop at one and flash I find fiddly things...

Hi Phil. Been a crazy busy week having recently moved home. I'll get some pictures up in the next few days :-)

OMG!!!! Just collected my bike from my Dad's workshop. My Brother did an amazing job fitting the kit and it really is amazing to ride. I can't wait to get going. Got the day off Friday so will ride to the local park for some practice. Very happy and thanks for the help/support.

Well I went for the 8fun kit and my bike is in my Dad's workshop. We used to race classic motorbikes so I'm sure he and my brother will do a good job fitting it. I'd still like to meet up sometime Kirstin, maybe after I've got my bike back and settled in a bit from our recent house move. Like...
