Hi Barry, well, of course I cycled all the way into work with no problem (5 miles) and then all the way back until I hit the big hill just before home and half way up the hill the bike cut out. Hah! And this time it means it. It won't start again. So it's still either the controller, a fuse or...

Ooh, I may have cracked it. I have disconnected the pedal sensor and the bike motor hasn't cut out once, even going over rough ground. Can't quite believe it. There is always the chance that as it was an intermittent fault before it might still reappear but as I could hardly keep the thing going...

Wow! Thanks guys! That's a fantastic response! NRG I will check the Ohm readings first and look for any shorts or bad connections. My bike has a 36Volt 16 amp battery and it's a 500 Watt motor. How important is the matching between motor, controller and battery? I mean, I am presuming that...

Hi John, Thanks for your input! Yes, I kind of wish it is the controller because it would be cheaper to replace but I'm suspicious that it's the battery. The battery is £570 to replace. I'm going to explore both battery and controller angles though. I shall investigate the controller for any...

Just discovered some of the previous posted threads about Bearprint. Weirdly, these didn't show up the first search I made but there is a lot of great info there. Thanks to Barry and Alan. Freego seem to be the only shop that offer the 36V 16 Ah battery but at £570 it makes you wonder if it's...

Thanks for that Bob. Maybe not the battery then, hmm. I'm in Christchurch on the South Coast so unfortunately not near enough to take you up on that offer. If a battery has some bad cells would it still be able to hold it's charge reasonably well? My first thought is that it was something to...

Hi Everyone. Great to find so many experienced E-Biker folk here. Jim from Alien Ocean recommended I come and join this forum and was confident that someone will know the solution to my problem. I have an 18 month old Bearprint 500 Watt 36v !6Ah mountain bike. Recently the bike would turn on...
