Advice needed please - Claud butler Glide 2

[Bikemum]

Hello all, I am after a bit of advice if possible please.
It is safe to say that my Glide 2 has died - the battery charger has broken so I can't charge the battery, but tbh on last use it didn't hold charge too well so I think I need a new one anyway.

Also, the front electric wheel is incredibly juddery and it is now impossible to ride as it is jerking too much, so I need a new wheel too.

I have been looking into buying a new e-bike, but before I do I am wondering if I am able to somehow salvage my current bike? I have literally no idea what I am looking at on eBay by way of wheels or batteries and I don't really know if it is simple enough to somehow find the perfect wheel that would fit and just plug in and work and the same for the battery? Sorry, I know I sound thick but I just don't know what to do and it would be a shame to just scrap the bike as it is in good nick otherwise.

Any advice on a good place to buy a new battery and a wheel that would work on this bike would be great if anyone knows?

Thank you for any help

Start by disconnecting the motor. Follow its wire from the axle to the connector/s on the cable. See if the motor turns freely when disconnected.

Do as VFR says, it's the first step in a fault finding process of elimination. Juddering is often a connection problem, you may not need a new motor at all. You can get the battery re-celled by Insat International (London) and get a new charger at the same time. Probably in the region of £250-300.
So worth a bit of fault finding time.
