Tesco Hopper front wheel replacement

[Albert Vilella]

Hi all,

I have owned a Tesco Hopper for several years and used it hundreds of times. Link below:

Recently, the front wheel started misbehaving: I can hear the electric buzzing sound going through the front wheel, but the mechanism inside must have broken as it doesn't generate any torque.

Where can I get a replacement front wheel? I am confident that with a replacement front wheel I can continue using the bike for a good while longer, since the battery is still in good shape.

Being a 24v system it may be hard to find one in the UK, try aliexpress or BMS battery. It won't be cheap so may be time for an upgrade? Before you write it off though check all the connections as it might just be a simple loose wire or something like that. Is there any juddering from the motor?

Avocet huh? I had a cheap mountain bike from them that ran for years with nothing replaced. They make decent stuff. Much better than falcon which was my first e bike (made by nakto). Absolute crap
