Hi,

So this is my bike:

http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/custom-battery-smaller-for-less-miles.25532/#post-330238

I have recently purchased a new lithium battery, which works great, but sometimes after a full charge. The throttle indicator shows that there is power, but nothing works until after about 5 mins of cycling (mine is not a peddle assist). Its strange just leaving the power connected it will suddenly kick in after a few minutes. This only happens after the battery has been charged and not when it has been used for a few days?

Any thoughts / suggestions?

Thanks

Paul

Do you take the battery off for charging. If so, clean the battery connections, in particular those two big spring-pins. Does yours have the switch on that compartment behind the seat-post?

Which replacement battery did you get?

Yes the switch is at the rear of the bike, I will look at the connections at lunch. Thanks for the response. Paul
