My wife had had switched it off! Grrrr! However, she hadn't pulled the plug out. So I switched on, put the battery on the charger and it has worked first time. I will monitor the situation but I think I have just been lucky tonight. At least I will be able to use the bike in the morning.

I too had noticed this. I normally turn the charger off after the charging phase has completed. Having managed to get the charger to work last night, I left the battery on charge overnight. This morning I removed the battery and have left the charger switched on to. We'll see what happens when I...

I have lived in he house for 14 years and haven't had any problems with other electrical equipment and I don't think that I have a high rate of light bulb failures. I also have sensitive electronic equipment plugged in (aircraft transponder, radios, instrumentaion packs and met equipment) all of...

I wish it was that simple. I am on my third battery. Batteries 1 and 2 always charged perfectly well on charger number 2. And battery 3 seems to charge on charger 2, but I don't want to use it because I am told that one may have a fault which is damaging my batteries. It is my latest, third...

Thanks for the suggestions flecc. The battery is new and has hardly been used. It's my latest replacement. From a visual inspection there does not appear to be any dirt ingress and I am reluctant to poke around in the sockets at this stage due to the ongoing problems that I have. I don't want to...

My Pro Connect was new in July 2008. When I arrived home I put the battery on charge and it charged without a problem. I then rode the bike until the battery was exhausted. The charger would not then re-charge the battery. Upon placing the battery on the charger, none of the lights on the...

thunderpaws I don’t know what has gone wrong with you experience when dealing with 50 Cycles, but something clearly has. Unfortunately, I have had problems with two batteries and two possibly three chargers. The facts of my experience are that without exception, 50 Cycles have resolved...

I have left my Pro C rear wheel as standard, but I think it has 23 teeth, not 22 as yours does. I briefly went for an 18 tooth sprocket for about a week, but changed back. I didn't have any problems with range as I like to do some work and always use the bike in low power mode. I do wonder...

Ithink it is:) The brakes, gears etc all match the specification of the Tasman

I don't think they are selling the Tasman at that price. It is an excellent deal if that is what you are after.

Well the wotwozerehour seems to have passed without incident.

Unfortunately, I don’t think he needs it spelling out to him. He knows exactly what he is doing.

I wouldn't worry too much. From what I am being told, these problems are isolated to just a few bikes out of many perfectly good ones. Although I do seem to be getting all the bad luck, 3 bateries and 3 chargers and the third charger isn't filling me with confidence, but its a bit early to pass...

Bob, what are you trying to say here? Many of your posts don't appear to make much sense to me and I don't think that I am alone in this thought. I find this forum very useful and get a lot out of it. You are starting to spoil it with some of the posts, particularly when you rake up old spent...

I have just received a new charger from 50C (my third) and it too appears to be intermittent with regards to whether it is going to charge the battery. The first charger that I had supplied with the bike back in July was hit and miss with regards to whether it would charge. It had a Wilkos...

I’m not sure what you mean by loosened the tensioner. The bolt that the arm pivots about can be tightened without it having an effect on how freely the arm moves. If the bolt is “pinching” the arm and stopping it from swinging then you may have re-assembled it incorrectly. It’s a simple affair...

Lloyd from 50C has just contacted me to arrange to swap my charger. It's good to know that they are taking this seriously and investigating this issue.

This point had crossed my mind and I took the charger with me to 50C. I mentioned chargers to Lloyd but he said it was unlikely so it stayed in the car. When Lloyd handed over the battery, I'm sure he said that it had been fully charged ready for use. When I put it on my charger back home...

50C have returned the failed batteries to Panasonic for more in depth testing and have promised to let me know the outcome, so I don't think there is any likelyhood of them finding their way back into the system. I will be very interested to know what has been discovered by Panasonic. Also...
