Hi pedelecs,
I'm new to pedelecs world and need your advice.
I recently bought second-hand KTM mountain bike on Ebay. I travelled up to Sheffield to pick it up, and it was my dream bike. Started to cycle to work every day and enjoyed it.
But when it went to the first time re-charge, it didn't charge up to full, only half. And went down from half to 5% very quickly when cycling on normal roads. I tried for day to leave on non-stop charge, but battery doesn't fill up, and stays close to empty all the time.
I started the case against seller to return the bike, the issue that seller has to pay return costs (courier), and it's been 2 long weeks with emails.
Once the seller realised that he has to pay return costs, he is now offering me £500 refund to buy a new battery on Ebay, apparently there are some for sale now.
Since it is my dream bike, another battery seems like a good option. But how do I know that it is battery at fault and not the cable and small computer on the handle bars at fault. Could the cable or computer be it fault and not battery?
Do you think it's worth trying to accept another battery in hope that it works?
Many thanks in advance,
Sol.
