Hi I have been running a Rush Trek for the last 18 months but it has died on me and I really dont know why, I dont have the skills to check the motor or controller, so I was wondering if any one knew of an electric bike repair shop in or around Gloucester.

 

Thanks

 

Colin.

Where did you get it? Is there any warranty?

Colin,

 

It's possible I may be able to help you with your Rush Trek, I'm in Swindon.

 

Only a small number of these machines were sold in this country, but even then there were some slight changes made to the electrics. So as to identify which control system you have, could you post the serial number of the bike. This can be found on the under-side of the bottom bracket, the housing the pedal shaft goes through.

 

Was the Trek purchased new or second-hand ?.

 

All the best

Bob

Hi Kitchenman, I have had the bike for 18months so one year warranty expired now bought new from a dealer in Lincoln.

 

Hi Blewit, Have sent you a rather long pm.

Are you sure the warranty is only 1 year as the current treks is 3 years for the electrics and 5 years for the frame etc.

Not the same machine Overlander, This one is the Rush Trek sold by 720cycles some while back. These machines are no longer available.

Is it made by Trek, or completely separate bike? Done a Google for it and cannot see it, why did they stop selling it?

See Blew it's answer above, nothing to do with Trek Bicycles.

Yep, found some pictures, looks a pretty decent electric bike.

It is Overlander, I have always found it comfortable and enjoyable to ride and it was I feel good value, as to why it is no longer available I do not know but there are no spares out there which makes it difficult to overhaul.

Yes, they were especially suited to shorter riders, the compressed diamond frame provided just about the lowest seat height possible with 26" wheels. My own machine was usually ridden by a friend who is barely 5' 1" in height. As you can see in the photo, I have to raise the seat to maximum when I ride the machine.

Member 2 zed is bringing his machine down to my home where I can check the function of the control system. Fingers and toes are crossed in the hope the Victory Sincerity torque sensor and controller are still functioning, these two items would be very difficult to source should they prove faulty.

 

My gut feeling is the inhibitor circuit is closed which will be easy to trace and rectify.

You mean like this:

PC's are going haywire just lately, postings disappearing overnight, pics not showing.

 

Must be those darned pixies living at the bottom of my garden.

I have this bike!, I bought it second hand without a working battery as a bit of a project, it is a thing of beauty but I never got around to it lol, the build quality is far and away better than the new bike I bought when I came into some money unexpectantly {always the best way}
