Hi Geostorm,

Welcome to the forum. There was a question in an A to B magazine about 2 years ago about TGAs. The editor indicated that at that time TGA was still going strong and could be found on 01787 882244. Not sure whether they still exist but if you have not already sought to make contact it may be worth giving them a call to see if they can provide a manual

I don't think we have any member with a TGA-Electrobike, but they were still being made until a few months ago. The company is still in business, concentrating on the mobility market, so they may be able to help with a wiring diagram or other information, and will possibly still stock the batteries.

Here's the contact page so that you can get in touch and check with them:

TGA-Electric


P.S. Crossed with John's post.

One option now Geoff is to try a Powabyke dealer to help with repairs or advice. Many towns have a Powabyke dealer among their bike shops, and their bikes also use brush motors and SLA batteries so have some similarity where wiring is concerned.
