    So do I buy a new battery for my E Zee Liv or a new E bike ?

    I bought my E zee Liv about 2.5 years ago and it has done me well as I have a nine mile round trip to work which is very hilly on the way back and I have probably used it about 200 times ( I'm a fairweather cyclist) Recently however the battery conks out about a mile from home, which is...

    What are the major factors that persuaded you to get an electric bike?

    All of the above, plus I have a young child and work so don't have a lot of time to exercise, so using an electric bike to get in and out of work seemed like a good solution. Trouble is, it is so effective I don't think I have improved my fitness all that much, but I find it more relaxing and...

    Can anyone tell me if my Ezee liv battery is dead, and if so where can I buy a new on

    We, well I use the term loosely meaning my other half, managed to sort the problem by cleaning round the battery connection with a nail file ( not something that would have occurred to me naturally !) So problem now appears to be sorted and bike working again. So thank you for all your help.

    Can anyone tell me if my Ezee liv battery is dead, and if so where can I buy a new on

    Oh sorry Flecc didn't answer that one last time. Yes the motor goes on for about 2-3 seconds before it conks out.

    Can anyone tell me if my Ezee liv battery is dead, and if so where can I buy a new on

    The red light near the battery has done a couple of things, once I think it flashed but when I tried it most recently, before I revved the bike it was constantly on, then when the lights started flashing it went off again. It sounds like its a connection fault rather than a battery one, if...

    Can anyone tell me if my Ezee liv battery is dead, and if so where can I buy a new on

    Thanks guys. I have managed to get battery out and recharged away from bicycle, unfortunately I still have the problem. When I switch to on, the red light near the battery goes on, but when I rev it the bike cuts out very quickly, the red light near the battery goes off and the one that tells...

    Can anyone tell me if my Ezee liv battery is dead, and if so where can I buy a new on

    Sorry I feel like such an idiot when I try to do things with the bike, I just wish it had some instructions. Can you tell me how to separate the battery from the bike ? I have 4 controls with the key, two of which are push and open and I'm thinking its linked to those but cannot figure it out.

    Can anyone tell me if my Ezee liv battery is dead, and if so where can I buy a new on

    Hi there, I have not been on for a while as I bought an Ezee Liv with Nimh batteries about 16 months ago. Up until today everything has been absolutly fine, but on the way home my battery started conking out and the battery light kept flickering between green, red and flashing yellow. I somehow...

    Probably a silly question about batteries

    Phew, glad I'm not the only confused new E Zee Liv owner ! I have checked mine and it is Nimh batteries in a black case. I'm a bit annoyed about the fact that EZEE have already withdrawn the Liv and now have the Liv Plus with a Lithium battery, makes me feel like my models out of date before...

    Probably a silly question about batteries

    Ok I cycled into work today and I am getting used to it. Its just the throttle that I find hard to get my head round as its another thing to concentrate on when I'm cycling and I don't like the way it gives me variable power but I can see that once I am comortable with it I won't find it as...

    Probably a silly question about batteries

    Thats great thanks for the advice. I will go out and check later but its a black box so I guess that means it needs frequent recharging, which is a lot more practical for me. Its about a 4.5 mile journey each way and I don't really have the option of charging at work but I can certainly...

    Probably a silly question about batteries

    I got my EZee Liv last week and I am getting used to it, but the lack of instructions make it hard to understand. My main query is that I phoned up 50cycles because the charger doesn't have a refresh button like the one I hired so they advised I should only charge it when its on amber or red...

    Cyclist age

    I'm 36 ( although I feel like I am about 50 most days ) and I got my bike because I have a very young son, have just gone back to work and don't have a lot of time to exercise. I'm way too unfit to do the 4 miles home from work on an ordinary bike so an electric bike means I get a bit of...

    Best ladies bike ?

    Thanks guys I spoke to the sellers and they said the same thing about the Ezee Liv compared to the Currie, so I guess thats me sold then. One thing does concern me, we live in Scotland so it would be a right pain if anything went wrong with it for getting it back. Does anyone have any...

    Best ladies bike ?

    Hi I am hoping for some advice on which electric bike would be best for me. I hired a yamaha bike xpc26 to see if I would be able to get into work and back on it, its 4 miles each way and pretty hilly. The bike is fine and I like it even down to the sad old basket on the front ( my non...
