Hi, Thank you for this advice. Following on from "getting all the control stuff from the same supplier"; should I ditch the existing Tranz power/speed thumb control fitted to the Raleigh (see pic) or chance that I can get it to work with a replacement control box and wiring loom? - likewise the...

Raleigh Pioneer E-Bike, fitted with a hub motor powered by a TranzX BL07 battery - the battery is now defunct and I cannot find another usable one in the UK and it seems (would be very pleased if you could correct me if I'm wrong) TranzX have stopped making them some time ago and thus any...
