You can check continuity/integrity of the wiring using a basic multimeter. One thing you do need to establish is that your cadence sensor is working properly. The diagnostic test doesn't always show if there's a fault there, and being where it is, it gets covered in wet and crud. A good...

Your best approach would be to download the TranzX software "Logix" if you can find it... I last saw someone posted a downloadable copy on Reddit. Officially it's only meant for dealers, but a lot of people have it now as TranzX isn't commonly used/supported here in the UK anymore. That links...

Checking Halfords website just now, it says the battery capacity is 317Wh. That's a smaller battery than you'd usually find on most e-bikes today. I'd say your 20ish miles is probably about right if you're using the higher assist levels. If your dilemma is running out of assist on your way home...

Which kind of makes having any lock on your battery a total nonsense when any fool can take the number off your lock and buy a spare key on ebay. My battery lock came with four keys and there're no markings; four so you can afford to lose one or two as the maker says they don't/won't supply any...

There's a brand new DP15 display on ebay right now: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326515461074?_skw=tranzx+dp15

You need to remember what other mid-drive bikes were around 8 years ago in 2017; an e-bike with the Bosch mid-motor was then about £600 more and sounded as loud and as rough as a milk float... IMO, the TranzX M16GT used on the Strada is far smoother... and quieter... and cheaper. The Raleigh...

I have a TranzX driven e-bike too. AFAIK nobody in the UK supports TranzX anymore, but they're still big in Germany and have a parts and distribution centre there. They likely won't deal direct with you, but it'd be worth emailing/calling to see if they still make and/or have stock, which you...

I've dealt with Enerprof.de and found them nothing less than professional. With those charger plugs, you can unscrew the plastic collar and the plug comes apart to see which is plus and minus and measure more easily. Your expectation to "see around 54.75V" is unrealistic given the charger...

If that's the Ebco UCL10, then it was Ebco's bargain basement entry-level model circa 2016 with front hub drive and a basic TranzX LED PST display. PST predates CANbus, but dealers still had a rudimentary "test-box" to interrogate the system... it may have been analogue or UART. There may have...

All three of these from the OP's linked Amazon page...

The OP's Vitesse Signal e-bike is on offer at Go Outdoors for £399.97 (subject to a £5 membership fee) here. Amazing bargain, despite having rim-brakes and a small battery. Both Amazon and GO say 5-levels of assistance.

Having just looked, there's nothing in either battery fault finding guide - for both Phylion and STL Carrera Crossfire batteries - that causes that (one or more LEDs may flash to indicate certain faults, but not all together) so my money would too be on a catastrophic error like a dead short as...

No, it isn't... I'm not sure where you get that idea! I have a Fiido D11, and both the bike and Fiido themselves have been great. The Fiido C11 is the spiritual successor to the Fiido D4S (so Fiido themselves say) - hybrid step through design, hydraulic brakes, a bigger 500Wh battery for more...

The first thing I'd do is to dry out that display. Moisture can cause shorts on the board, although you say it functions okay when a 5v supply is plugged into the micro USB. I'd let the bike sit in a warm room for a few days to make sure... as there may (also/instead) be moisture in the...

Unless the OP's wife's bike is so new she can exchange it at the shop as she's "just bought it" changing it for a hub-drive might be expensive/easier said than done. It is a £1700 e-bike... There's a couple of reviews of other e-bikes out there that use this same M200 motor... IIRC both comment...
