I have a 3e mountain bike that I use for urban cycling several times a week, up to 7 miles at a time (often less), sometimes with heavy panniers, sometimes up steep hills. Have had it 2.5 years, got it second hand, little used and battery well looked after (from what I could tell). It has been great to ride (much better than my previous Ezee Torq which was stolen). Recently it has failed to assist when I start off on a ride but after 5-10 secs does assist and then cuts out very shortly after, then soon kicks in again and is usually OK for the rest of my ride, but is sometimes slow to assist from stationary. The last time I used it, it also cut out completely when I was riding it - this seemed to be when going up a steep hill, it did then eventually kick in again.
Any suggestions as to what I might do to rectify it?
