Hi
I have a problem with my 905se. On way way to and from work recently it has cut out without warning. In all cases the battery lights remain lit with either all three lights or at least two of them. It usually happens on the way home, when the battery has done some work but I don't think the battery is the problem (at least I sincerely hope not). The fault always follows the same pattern. If I pedal along with the motor in pedelec mode and then stop pedaling or switch the motor off for a while (eg going down a hill or stopping to negotiate a narrow bend with oncoming traffic) when I start pedaling again the motor will not start. In addition the throttle also fails to operate the motor, despite the power indicators. If I stop and fiddle with the pedelec magnetic disc it usually starts again. Despite this I can find no problem with the sensor disc - all the magnets are there and the clearance seems OK with the sensor. It's unlikely to be loose sensor wires, as it restarts even when I haven't touched those - in addition I assume that the throttle should still work even if the pedelec system was not working properly(?). I don't think that the stopping and fiddling around is a red herring - just allowing the battery to recover, as pausing with the battery switched off doesn't seem to fix the problem. It is getting worse - much more frequent.
Any ideas anyone? I'm getting nervous about commuting to work on it as it would be pretty awful (and very slow) to pedal half my daily commute on a dead e-bike - I'd much rather be on my hybrid under those circumstances but I can't work if I go that way as I get far too hot and sweaty getting up the hills and I don't have a shower facility (or time to use if I had) at work.
Incidentally the bike is just under a year old and has done in the region of 1500 -2000 miles.
Thanks, Phil
