One of our Sprint motors makes much more noise than the other, it at least let's people walking in the road that something is coming behind them ! Seriously it's a little annoying but maybe it is characteristic of this bike? hard to tell as the other is relatively quiet. There seems to be no...

Merry Christmas to all !!:) Has anyone yet been able to get hold of a NiMH battery & charger for Ezee bikes? I believe they are only available from 50 Cycles who have been unable to supply for a long time. Has anyone any news as to when they will be back in circulation? My lithium...

Hi, I've been off the Forum for a couple of months due to work and health problems, however, today my husband took his Ezee sprint out for a spin but it seemed to cut out on him after a fairly short time, on a hill which he can normally climb with ower, three times, and thereafter did seem to...

Hi, Me again ! - I have an annoying clicking sound, and definite feel of a click, on my right pedal. It is there most of the time, but not always when I'm cycling at faster speeds. I have checked the chain cover is not knocking, and that the pedel nut is firmly tightened. I'm beginning to...

Are batteries for the Ezee sprint 7 only available thro 50 cycles? or can they be bought elsewhere? I note that they appear out of stock at present and this leads me to wonder how I shall be fixed if I want one in a hurry when mine needs replacing?, or if I want a reserve one for extra distance.

I sometimes listen to my Ipod on my commute home. I keep it on a low level so I can always hear the traffic, and sirens. I ensure the Ipod is secure within my clothing, so that if the earphones fall off I simply leave them out but know that the Ipod will not fall to the ground, nor will the...

I think my rear brakes are not working properly - how should I adjust them ? When ridinng if I pull the rear brake handle nothing seems to happen, the front ones are effective and I can stop - however, the strange thing is that when stationary if I pull up the back brake the bike seems to be...

Hi everyone, My Sprint is running well, except for an annoying rattle of the front mudguard - I've taken the advice given previously and no longer worry about odd noises, or the lights on the handlebar electric control - and trust my weekly and daily checks will ensure safe cycling -...

Any ideas what the problem could be ?- if, indeed, it is a problem. My husband was climbing a steep hill in pedelec mode, the bike was straining and he came to a halt - I think it is possible the automatic cut out on the motor (I believe there is one) came in as he could not get the motor...

Thanks Flecc for all the info re batteries, Lion and NiHm, particularly re cold storage of Lion for any long periods of storage. My bike, battery and charger are kept in a newly build wooden shed, it has a kind of perspex type roof which lets in the light, but also the sun so it is quite warm...

Whilst commuting I normally need to get there as quickly as possible, consequently I tend to use the throttle on my Ezee Sprint quite a lot, mostly in Pedelec, and using the gears, lots of hills!, My question is, will this cause the motor to wear out more quickly? I try to vary the amount of...

My biggest fear is having a problem with my bike at the side of the road, and perhaps more particularly that my husband, who has a chronic heart problem, but gets great benefit and enjoyment from cycling on his Ezee Sprint, breaks down and needs assistance. Obviously a mobile phone is...

The chain on my Sprint needs tightening and I believe it involves tightening two nuts at the end of the frame, however, is this an easy thing to do? or should I put the bike into a bike shop for this to be done? Are special tools required ? If I carry on riding with a slack chain for a while...

Hi, I want to fit a carrier onto my Nissan Sunny 5 door hatchback (which has a small spoiler on the back). It would need to carry two sprint bikes - minus the batteries, of course, so the combined weight would be around 48-50 kgs, the sprint is a step thro so has no cross bar - so I'm not...

Hi, both my husband and I have an Ezee Sprint, living in hilly Cornwall. We have only had them for a couple of months, they were definitely a good choice. Having experience of a Brompton with a Heinzmann motor, and a Giant Twist electric bike, I find the brakes on my Sprint somewhat...
