I bought an E-bike from power pedals around 2012 called “The Big Hit” made by a company named “Tonaro”. It’s a Chinese brand and has subsequently gone out of business which means finding spare parts or upgrading components is fairly difficult. I’m not talking about its seat, wheels or tyres, but of course am referring to the core of the bike, it’s motor, battery and cables.
At this moment, after a professional Shimano Alfine installation, the power has started to cut off! The shop carried out a full service but when the bike came back to me it became apparent that the unit no longer was functioning in the way it was intended. Every local bike shop, Cycle Surgery, Velorution or Fullycharged, all based in London will not touch the electrics stating that they are not capable of setting up a guarantee or warranty for work completed.
This is ultimately quite frustrating and I now need to source a new battery to either replace or upgrade my current setup. I know there are companies who fabricate batteries but I would prefer a design that is purposefully suited for the bikes dimensions from the start as an original part. The battery is a 36V 10ah 360Wh configuration and came with a Li-ion charger which has seen better days. If I could get any information relevant to my situation it would help immensely. Hence the forum post and membership status.
I have fair experience with tinkering with bikes, although this is my first E-bike. Improving upon the basic sales package as mentioned earlier with the Alfine rear hub internal gearing, I have also added new handle bars (ZOOM), a shorter headset, a CAT speedometer along with schwalbe puncture proof tyres (the extra weight previously made nails and staples pass through the rubber tread far to easily on many occasion) all for functionality. Not to mention a Topeak handle bar bag, two front torch lights an ergonomic saddle and bar end mirrors to boot for safety!
I’m health concious and enjoy helping others, let’s hope we can make our e-bike/pedelec world a better place.
