    Freego Eagle Intermittent Power Fault

    Hi Not really. The bike goes on and I typically do about 30 - 40 miles a week on it. I have disconnected the brake cut outs by simply pulling the connectors apart and that helped. If it does cut out completely as it does now and then, I push down on the handlebars and compress the suspension and...

    Freego Eagle Intermittent Power Fault

    Yes its been there for ages, and the battery refurb was to put that out of the equation. I thnk finding and testing a sealed copper wire is probably a bit beyond me, but the fact it always seems to connect with a single bounce of the front wheel seems really odd. Thanks

    Freego Eagle Intermittent Power Fault

    Hi I have a 4 year old Freego Eagle with a newly refurbished battery and have an intermittent fault that shows up on most rides with a loss of power. What happens is the bike will ride along normally and then, usually later in the ride or almost always over rough ground, lose power. If I lean...

    I'm looking to change my Freego Eagle which has developed an occasional fault and now a dead battery!

    Freego Hawk Power Setting Fault

    A problem with my really reliable old Freego Hawk has come up that I think may be quite simple but I'm hoping someone will know. It's always been really good with no faults at all, but after disconnecting the front LED light when doing some work on it, when I switch it on with the key at the...

    Freego Hawk and Wren Rear Disc Brake Conversion

    I'm looking to put rear disc brakes on my Freego Hawk and my wifes Freego Wren, and then either putting on a mechanical rear caliper, or upgrade to a set of hydraulic calipers. I believe it's been done, so has anyone on here done this, as it looks like I'll need a threaded adaptor if one is...

    Powabyke Questions

    Many thanks John, I shall let you know how I get on. I managed to get the battery cases off as well without damaging them, so now it's a case of fitting a couple of new cam locks (which I've got) to lock the batteries on, and for just under £400 I'll have a couple of well set up and useable...

    Powabyke Questions

    Thanks. I'm going to a locksmith to sort that. I remembered theres one in town who will open stuff and supply keys to fit the original lock - he did a pair of motorcycle panniers for me once when I lost the keys, I think it was about £20 When that's sorted I'll get batteries for mine I've found...

    Powabyke Questions

    Thanks John, much appreciated They've moved on a bit now. I had to replace all cables and degrease everything, so we now have properly adjusted, and working brakes and gears. The throttle seems cured with proper electrical contact cleaner, and we did what must have been their first ride in years...

    Powabyke Questions

    Hi I've just this evening brought two old Powabykes off ebay as a pair for £175, just to see how we get on with electric bikes, and how much we actually use them, before I make a bigger investment. I've been testing them out tonight, so a couple of questions about what they might be, and a...

    Freego Bikes

    Thanks all for the responses. Seem to back up what I've seen and picked up, that for the price they are your getting a good, useable, reliabe package. I'm not really a worrier, but being happy with the ride, and knowing I don't want to spend a lot more than this, I just want to be sure that when...
