June 20, 20205 yr Author HURRAH, IT WORKS!!!!! I put it upside down like in my favourite film Breaking Away where the hero is working on the terrible bike all the teams have been given to get ready for the race against the college boys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTzzHRywLBE, and cleared off the sensor, and then noticed - the cable to the front wheel from the handlebars had come apart from the cable to the wheel hub and was unattached, pushed them together, and huzzah - it WORKS. My hero, thank you so much. Can't tell you how thrilling it is to be able to get back on the road and up the frightful hills and go on a trip to see everything on my bike again. Hurrah for you king of the electric bikes and all pedelec wizards for your help and kindness of bothering. Best of absolutely everything Emma Dear Nealh You have to play the film on youtube settings at 1.25 or it's a bit slow, best to you Emma
June 20, 20205 yr All this praise and I didn't do or solve anything , Emma solved it her self by noticing the disconnected motor wire. Sorry I'm not guilty on this one .
June 21, 20205 yr great story, love reading about old bikes given a new lease of life and saved from landfill... Happy ebiking Emma
July 3, 20205 yr Author Thank you very very much. Now it's working, and I have been on a high to everyone i talk to about how brilliant it is to get back on the bike again, (and how only did it with top pedelecers help) my sister who has broken her ankle asked if I knew what the best bike to buy is? Is it good to get one with 36v and a li-on battery? Wondered if anyone had any recommendations for one? And one which keeps motor and wheels going if you get off on a super steep hill/have to start from the bottom of a steep hill? Don't seem to have found the switch on my Claud Butler for the sport button to keep the wheels going when just pushing it. Best to you from v happy biker
July 3, 20205 yr No one bike is the best bike as they all will do the job in one way or another, let her try yours. May be you have the best bike ? The best bike for her in one that fit's and feels nice to ride, so trying a few may help out. There are many factors to consider: Rider weight, terrain, distance etc,etc. A 1k ebike might be considered best over a 5k bike because depreciation and repair cost is far less, components also if they need replacing. Look at Bosch or Yamaha, new batteries for them are about £800 a lot more then your new battery so which is best ?
