Hello, new here. Bought a MF Electric Avenue (2021) second hand & it doesn't seem to take a charge, light comes on within the charger, has anyone had any dealings with 1 of these as don't want to but a battery if i don't need to. i've got in touch with MF for a manual & they won't entertain me as i'm not the original purchaser!
Muddy Fox Electric Avenue issue
- Thread starter n101

Do you have access to a multi-meter to take voltage readings from the battery?
If 0v output #1 check its switched on.., #2 there may be a fuse blown internal to the pack?
How long did you try charging it for?
Try posting pics of the bike/battery and connections. google suggests a couple of configs with a built in and or bolt on battery pack??
How old is the battery pack?
For a manual google for the display make/model, as this is the User interface to any/all inputs to the control system.. Tho muddy fox may have replaced the generic system to a) comply with local regs and b) f*ck with you..

First question. What does the little light on the charger do ? As in is it red or green, is it steady, or blinking.
Thought I'd ask, before the massiv have you taking it apart
On one of my chargers the light is red when the charger is switched on, remains red when i plug the charger into the battery, and stays a steady red light until it turns to green 5 or 6 hours later.
Theres no blinking light when it is working to let you know it is actually working.
Im not sure if other chargers feature a blinking 'working' light, I imagine though some might.
If yours isn't, it might actually be still doing something

Adding to Andy's comment above. Our two chargers for 'standard' batteries are similar to Andy's but a little different. Green when switched on and not connected, go red when connected and charging, and stay red till charge is complete when they revert to green. No blinking.
Our Bosch charger has no light, but there are lights on the battery.
During charge some stay on, next one flashing, and rest off; this indicates how charged it is.
By the time it is nearly fully charged the 'top' light is flashing and the remainder on.
When fully charged, all lights go out.
