Need some advice for newbie please

[Adriantl]

Have just bought a second hand bike its a evens cycles 22" frame mountain bike with a ezpro conversion kit on it
It has a li ion battery 10 amp 26volt
It has a display with three settings for climbing hills and a torques pedel system
Only it doesnt seem to like number three power setting and one and two are ok but still struggles a bit up big hills
Am i expecting too much or has anyone else had one
Very new to this just wanted to get fit and was on tight budget
Can i check inside the motor to check anything is ok?and how should i charge battery itseems to say its charged in less than an hour
Any help would be great
Cant take it back as too big a journey
Many thanks

The limitations of the motor and battery will not wizzzzzzzzzz you up 'big hills' without you assisting with a lot of pedal power

Stay away from big hills

I'm not familiar with this kit, but when a high power mode isn't liked, the battery is usually suspect. When you select the highest power mode for a hill climb, does it cut out?

An Ez-Pro dealer site for info

Yes it does

That's virtually certain to be the battery not up to the current demand then, very common as a lithium battery ages, and the more so on the lesser known ones.

The answer will either be a specific new one for the kit or any other 26 volt lithium battery of 9 Ah or more capacity. The latter will need to be mounted somewhere like the rack and connections adapted to suit, but that option is often much cheaper than the specific one.

Big hills are fun ,to go down tho' and you don't need a motor to go either!
