Hi I’m looking st the crossfire carrera as a possible bike. I see that there were issues with cut outs in the net around 2017. Wondering if anyone knows whether the current model has similar issues? Thanks Neil

Bought a year and a half ago for £330 (second hand) in very good condition. Still in very good condition. The old battery that came on the bike is completely run down now, hence the price but I can include the used battery too for spares etc. Worked flawlessly all the time I used it and...

it works! thanks all. just been out on the bike. it made me realise what a resource this forum is. without it i probably would not have considered buying a second hand e-bike and may have gone for a motorbike instead.

it seems to be charging....it's got past the one minute cut out point. 5 mins in and counting now.... fingers, toes and everything else crossed... i don't want to jump the gun with untimely celebration....but.....wahey!!!!! will report back soon....... cheers, neil

ok. after a bit more net digging found that it probably is the fuse and it's safe to take out so i took it out and lo and behold the wire inside the fuse is broken and the continuity test does nothing. will try to find a replacement fuse and report back. fingers crossed!

is the fuse inside the black contraption on the far right with orange wires coming in and out of it? there's an orange plastic thing inside it. is this the fuse?

testing the charging socket in pairs on DC200 i get no read out. testing the battery connectors on the bottom of the battery i get a read out of 28.5. doing a continuity test between the charging socket and the bottom of the battery i only get a read out between pin number 1 in charging socket...

the 41.6V was the reading from the charger with the multimeter on the prongs on the lead; not the battery. the bike was working fine up until this point. I was riding the battery to within it's limits quite frequently though i think. the last time i used it i got about 200 yards up the road...

opened the case up as much as i can without unfixing the wires to the 3 pronged input (can you tell i'm no engineer?!) but i can't see any internal fuse. :( sounds like it will have to be plan b then...

hi d8veh this battery has one visible external fuse. I don;t know what size it is. It's a long time since i used a soldering iron ;-) THe sticker on battery says XH370-10J Phylion battery DC37.0V

Hi Frank I'm in cornwall, near redruth. What is BMS?

i've done it....tentatively and nervously......and i'm still alive :D it measured 41.6. that's over 36V. i assume that's within tolerances?

on the case it says input 115V/230VAC 60/50Nz 1.5/0.9A output: 36VDC/2A I just tried a different kettle lead and no difference.

sounds scary :eek: how do you ensure that you don;t get fried then? neil

the fuses check out ok. i checked the one on the charger too. after about one minute of charging the light goes to green as if it is fully charged (I know it's not!) and the fan on the charger stops whirring.
