hi all I have had an electric bike for four years now, I never went far on it but it did quite a few trips up the pub. I've just started going further afield, up to 40 miles return trips.
But now the 10ah battery is starting to show wear, I can't get a straight forward replacement from the vendors,
I wanted to upgrade to a 15ah battery but would have to replace the back receiver or have the battery case re stuffed, the end story is the thick end of £400 to keep the bike going.
I never saw that coming when I bought the bike , dead battery buy new bike,
So I'm looking for a new bike, I've seen one ,but only to see others on the forum complain about the battery of said bike manufacturers , the way I see it is you don't buy a new car because the battery dies, I think cycle dealers should take a bit more of a responsibility in the aftermarket
I think most would agree the industry is taking the Pi*****out of us.
