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 back and pull the front wheel up an inch off the ground as I'm riding, power always (so far!) restarts again. It might do this 3 or 4 times on a ride, and usually at least once. Initially I had the speedo /power setting unit replaced professionally, with no change. Battery has now been reconditioned, and I have checked all fittings and wires I can access and taped up the brake cut out switches at the push fit connections to ensure they aren't seperating with vibration. Everything looks fine but I'm sure there is a loose wire somewhere, most probably inside the junction box above the front wheel. It looks sealed unlike on some other Freego's, but I'm not worried about trying to open it if anybody has had this problem and thinks this may be where the problem is. Otherwise its a great bike for my needs and most of my rides are 20 - 25 miles, so its trustworthy, just mildly irksome at the moment. Thanks
