Yes it is a juddering type noise have checked all the connections in the control box and they ok the wire that goes into the wheel itself looks a little frayed but I don't think I can get to the connections inside the wheel

If the wires are frayed, that's it. Repair is virtually impossible. The motor itself will be OK.

Hi Rob. Apologies for the delay in replying but haven't been very well. Glad you got the Cyclamatic sorted, & you're welcome
As far as the UM goes, I would be tempted to pull it apart & see if anything can be done, as you have nothing to lose... Good luck if you go for it.
Regards, Mark

Hi Mark
Managed to get the UM going still a little bit juddery at times but not much I would say it was probably a bad connection somewhere cleaned and sprayed with water repellent and it seems ok
In another point I seem to have lost a small collar connected from the battery charger I have attached a photo the one sticking out is loose but there is another one missing ant ideas where I could buy one ?

Hi Rob,
Glad you got the UM going again.
I haven't found a plug like that as yet, but will keep looking. Though it just occurred to me - is that the same as the one in your old cyclamatic battery? If so,maybe you could take it out & attach it to the cable from the charger? Just a thought...

Hi Rob,
If you haven't sorted a new charger plug yet, how about this?

Hi Rob,
What reading,if any, are you getting from the output terminals?
It's possible that there is one or more weak cells causing the bms not to allow charging, or the bms isn't working for some other reason.
If you dismantle the case and take readings from the bms where the connector attaches the sense wires to it, that should give you an idea of the health of the cells, or where the problem may be.
There's lots on the forum on the subject (including my own recent questions ).
Always happy to help if I can
Regards, Mark

Hi Rob,
Glad it's all sorted once and for all now
That contact at Urban Mover could come in handy as I have a few UM10 controllers with LCD display , that came without the speed sensors. I have a "universal" speed sensor to try out, but may need some pointers! (Unless anyone here knows how to do it...)
All the best,
Mark
