I have been away from the forum for a long while, and not on my Ezee bike for a long while either. But I am keen to get back to both now that Spring is in the air...
What's the latest state of battery replacement for eZee? Last time I dipped in the storm over bad batteries was really raging, and 50Cycles had ceased to deal with eZee.
My Cadence battery has had relatively little use, and has been well stored, but nevertheless is old now and is unlikely to perform well - I'll see this week, hopefully. But I am expecting to have to replace it if I start biking seriously again. I have had a look around the web, and see that Onbike has replacements - but they seem to be pretty fiercely priced at around 35-45% of what I paid for my bike! Do they have gold in them or something?
Seriously, though, what are the characteristics of these new ones in terms of longevity, and how does the price reflect their value? I read in the forums that at one time people were getting replacements direct from eZee in China for around £160, which is much less than Onbike want. Is that route closed now?
Thanks in advance,
David.
