    What to do when your mid drive bike give up the ghost

    It is still on original battery and motor, both have done 13,000 KM, the range is still good shows 93KM on full charge, and shows more when I cycle in Eco mode which is most of the time, no problems so far, but most of the year it is used in hot dry dusty conditions.
