Hi all,
I’m after a bit of advice. My wife and I bought ourselves a couple of Carrera E Crossfires with the suntour HESC setup a short while ago. Mine had been fine, hers has died. Unfortunately a trip back to Halfords isn’t really an option as we’re currently in Spain, not returning to the UK until later this year.
So here’s the issue. Basically her bike is completely dead. I’ve tried the following
Her battery on my bike, all good so no battery issue
plugged her back wheel into my bike, all good so motor seems okay
plugged her controller unit into my bike, all good
when you wheel her bike backwards there’s a fair amount of resistance from the motor.
If I plug my back wheel into her bike it still doesn’t power up. If I plug my controller into her bike it’s still dead
At the base of the frame there’s a blanking plate near the crank. I’ve removed it and there appears to be a container with what looks like a capacitor and a number of other components sealed into the container with resin. I’m wondering if something in there has burnt out.
what I’m asking is is it worth trying to source a new one of these parts as I can’t see much else that could be failing
Any advice would be really appreciated as she’s missing her bike and giving me grief.
