Rear light on Raleigh Motus bike

[Nigel Bowker]

The rear light on my Raleigh Motus has stopped working. I have a feeling that a connector must have come loose but can't find it! Anyone know where I should be looking?

Might be worth having a word with a Raleigh dealer, I have heard of others having the same problem, so it may be a manufacturing/guarantee issue.

Thanks.

Have you wiped around the back of the unit while cleaning the bike?

There is probably a tiny slider switch to isolate the light which it is easy to move accidentally.

I haven't found anything but I'll have another look! Thanks, Nigel

I've had a look but can't see a slider switch. The connections look as they are all in place.

I don't know the Motus, but some e-bikes use plastic mudguards with electrical conductor strips moulded in. With those the connections from rear light to mudguard strip can cause trouble, and so can the tag at bottom front of the rear mudguard where the current is transferred from the mudguard strip to a wire.
