:oops: I may have been dismissive of the fleabay process. I opened a complaint in the resolution centre about an undelivered item last night and this morning received a full refund :).

A meter can be had cheaply for about £5 and do the job very well check the specs and get one with a continuity buzzer (ideal for checking wire breaks or circuits) as not all have the option.

With batteries you can't guess or imagine things can't fail or go wrong, the only way to be sure is check and test. Diagnosis is the only safe option, although not common there have been the odd switch fault on this forum reported and found.

Ordered a bms and pure nickle H strip with weld slits from Ann power on Aliexpress, very impressed with the service 9 days delivered using normal post. Also just had a refund back from Aliexpress as an item never materialised, so much easier and more efficient then fleabay.

Problem is if they get a concession to park at night they then will do so during the day, heartedly agree with d8veh they should be told on their bikes :oops:.

Opening up is the only way to be sure to check for internal shorting, logic suggests switch or wire pin short. Any serious short as you have mentioned could have possibly caused bms damage. You will only know if you find the route of the issue and once rectified check to see if you have...

I have just acquired a new 5 pin battery and even before connecting up opened the receiver to check the arrangement on the pins. Center one is not used, outer two are discharge +/- and the two inners are charge +/-.

Switches are known now and then to have shorting issues so might be worth investigating with a meter in the on & off position.

Assuming you connected up the wiring in correct sequence, then suspect a fault or short on the battery side of the connector. Only way of knowing is to open it up and have a look. Could be a loose or damaged wire contacting or even water damage/corrosion causing arcing.

£250 for a new battery is quite reasonable. Wen you factor in that cells generally cost between £2 - £6 each and batteries will have 40 or 50 individual cells inside, then add in the other incidentals that are in there and the case and often a new docking /receiver unit as well.

Teeth counting enlarged pic.

Someone being a bit pedant me thinks.

Instead of being a clever dick a pic may help potential buyers to gauge the condition of the bike rather then just trusting your say so.

If I angle it correctly no, it just gives me enough of a glimpse behind before I have a proper shufti over my shoulder.

TL may indicate the factory and 24v most likely the voltage. The numbers production line/sn number may even be a date code as well. Have you tested the battery output with meter or opened it up to have look inside. LEV Ltd was formed in Oct 2004 Suffolk and ceased in Nov 2012. One of the former...

And a pic or three.

WIth single chain ring and towing 100kg he has option of playing with chain ring size down to 38/42 and having a bigger range on the rear could go 36/11 or a bit a taller on low gear to 40/42 even.

If you can afford it 17ah is always better then 11ah cells will be better depending on the spec of them. If I carry extra batteries I link the two smallest ah batteries in parallel and then use the higher ah battery on it's own. I can and have paralleled all three together for one big battery...

I'm not worried about the weight otherwise I would have light weight non powered bike, weight only come in if you are lifting it a lot. Mine handles fine and feel no unbalancing from the rear. In the top bag I can carry two more 18650 batteries for range and a watt meter, in the side drop...

You will need to remove a good spoke and measure it. Re the cut out issue it is surely a battery or controller one ( over sensitive bms/software ) or bad battery/controller contacts. Ignore the rear hub connector that has been said to resolve the problem as all it does is connect and power the...
