I was just wondering if spinning the lipo cells really quickly wouldn't agitate their molecules, leading to, er, volatility

I think you make a good point about it potentially being to do with something not relating to the battery Trex. It sounds like the OP needs to get some diagnostic work done somehow. Otherwise he won't know whether it's the motor, controller or the battery as you say. Although I don't know...

Don't send it back until and unless they authorise, because it's up to them what remedy they offer (repair, replacement, refund) and until they say which, they have no obligation to pay for the method you choose, at all. If they want to repair or replace, the cost of (and in fact arrangement of)...

Wouldn't they have to use lipo to shape the battery to fit? Says to me proprietary. Expensive to replace. And any fire and the whole shebang is toast. Plus it's not $899 even in the US, it's $899 + ~19% state sales tax, + shipping, or in UK + shipping + 26% VAT & import duty, + £9 import...

Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear that. That must have felt incredibly disappointing. Did you pay by credit or debit card? If the former, the easiest route to a 100% refund is ring your CC provider (your card issuer, not VISA/AMEX) and explain what happened. The CC provider is jointly liable...

Did you get a refund for your recelling?

Hat tip to you flecc for pointing out the annoying "may" thing on the other thread.

Oh god this "may" the Times uses is just such a weasel word. They know better, the Tory party knows better, the CJEU knows more than anyone that they have to issue popular rulings and not ones which undermine precious public support for Union by forcing every lawnmower owner to insure, I don't...

Can I just give a shout out for Amazon.de who are pretty good too. The range is wider and some stuff is quite a bit cheaper than UK even after postage.

Note that there are only a handful of sales since 2006 - the feedback is almost all as a buyer. My bet is there's a market for clean eBay accounts. Incidentally "Actionfraud" wrote back to me acknowledging my report and assuring me (not very effectively) that busy people were, somewhere, doing...

You did, here: "My mates and I only ever ride our motorbikes over the channel as it the only place that we can ride to the road conditions and not someones idea of a safe speed." premise 1 - Drivers who are likely to be caught speeding are not free p2 - Drivers in England are not free p3 -...

If keeping within the speed limit is so distracting for you, how did you manage to mislead your driving instructor that it wasn't? I don't think they'd have passed you if they'd twigged.

Thanks for your reply, I don’t really understand what you mean by statutory rights protecting customers against invisible faults until the thing breaks. As for wear and tear, that’s a very interesting grey area and I don’t really understand what you mean there either. Same with the lightbulbs...

Which section of 168/2013 says that? I looked but it's 79 double pages, ctrl+f didn't help. Thanks

I've heard this too. In theory if we were completely rational we'd go out and buy blonde wigs. And yet, and yet...

Now the first sentence is pretty much correct (but subject to reasonableness which turns on cost of purchase and any/all relevant factors), and for a maximum of six years, which would be for a high- or mid-end bike. I'm afraid the second sentence isn't correct. There is no restriction on the...

Yes spot on re your first sentence. A 1 year warranty is no reason to avoid a retailer. The retailer's core obligations to you normally last much longer than the warranty. Although that always depends on what's reasonable given the cost and all other factors, so a battery can't be expected...

I can't disagree with anything you're saying, but. I think one frustration as a cyclist for me is feeling I haven't been given equality of respect as a road user (although lesser visibility than cars may be mostly the explanation). I think it's the conviction that somehow I'm visible or people...

Oh I absolutely agree. The problem is that consumers don't know what the law is. Most of them think when the warranty runs out that's their lot. As a consumer you must, but simply must be kind-mannered, polite, generous-spirited, and carry a very big stick, the latter being simply your...

Ha, I can picture it! Do you think it's capable of being a genuine hazard to someone else? If so it sounds like you're being wise. Otherwise I'm thinking what's not to like ;-)
