Thanks for the info on the electrics.
Riding an Ezee myself, I felt the difference in power with the Panda. However, with my daughter riding it, her younger legs are coping fine, so it may not be neccesary. At least I know how now and why it works.

Yep, that sorted it ! 20 miles and no problem.

As suspected, the control box housing has proved to be a problem. The lid is held on with screws that only screw into plastic. There's a lot of wires and plugs in there and I think the combination of internal pressure and the jiggling from the poor road surfaces, has cause the lid to pop.
So I've sourced a standard black box (kind of thing that's used for cicuit boards) and fixed it to the carrier. I got all the plugs and cables through a 25mm grommet, will need some silicone at some point but the bike isn't used in the rain (unless we're caught out) so not urgent.
This also gets the box out of the stepthrough area, which helps.
Box was about £3.50 from CPC. Also bought some velcro cable ties, not convinced yet !
