My wife and I have had an electric bike each for around 20 years now and have had three bikes each in that timespan. I'm increasing worried about the short life of electric bikes and what to do with then once they malfunction. We've had two Giants each, plus one Raleigh and now one Gazelle...

I have a Tranzx BL03 battery from a Rayleigh Forge that is showing reduced capacity, although its voltage is holding up at 41V. I want to replace the cells and I've bought a pack from China that says it is specifically for this battery pack...

I'm trying to help a friend who has an Ezee Torq which has been terribly unreliable since new. I persuaded her to take it to Onbike and they have duly fixed the electrical problems she's been having. However in the 18 months or so she's been unable to use it, both batteries have become useless...

About three years ago, we noticed that my wife's MiMh battery on her Giant Lafree Twist seemed to be losing capacity. When we went out together, hers would fail at about 12 miles whereas mine would go for 15. Having read about the battery packs available from Powercycle which were available for...

The electrics have just failed on my wife's Giant Lafree Twist, just over two years since my own did the same. This time, it didn't fail completley - the motor still gave a kick at start up and continued to give power for a while until the speed increased to about 9 miles and hour then just cuts...

On show at presteigne yesterday was anew bike from a French company called Gitane GITANE - ville - E-BIKE 8 I had a go and it was a smooth pleasant ride with a quiet motor, but its unique point is that it changes gear for you automatically! I found myself wanting to change up before it did...

I'm looking for a Giant Lafree Twist battery - the condition of the batteries is not important, but the casing must be functional even if a bit battered.

Just come back from a week around Lake Constance (Germany) and saw a few of these -hub gear, disc brakes front and back and a motor in the centre. Looks very solid and practical. Also saw a few blue step through electrics but the only name I could see was Sprint (possibly Sprinter), but more...

My Lafree Twist has died again for the fourth time. When I turn on the switch the red lights comes on for a few seconds then goes off again, indicating all is well, but as soon as I apply pressure to the pedals - nothing, no motor activity at all. This seems to happen when undue stress is...

I need to get a new battery for a Giant Lafree Twist. My wife hit a stone in the road yesterday and the battery leapt out, smashing the case, (the third time this has happened, but the first it has done damage), so I need a complete unit, or an empty case, it's not just a matter of replacing the...
