The cold will definitely be having some effect on range, but it does sound like you have a problem somewhere, don’t worry though, you have a warranty and E Rider will sort you out.

I would change the breaker first and see if that solves the problem, they aren’t expensive, take a photo of it and pop to an electrical retailer, they should have them or be able to order one for you.

If that doesn’t cure it you will have to look further.

I’ll leave Ken to answer the network question, but things like the drum amd disc brakes on both the new and old models are standard motorcycle fitments, and any competent motorcycle/scooter mechanic should be able to strip and service them in half an hour.

And lercormance should read performance but my thumbs are bigger than my keyboard!!

Hill starts are a bit of a problem with my Model 30 City too, its because the brake light switch cuts the power so when you hold the brake on the throttle is disconnected.

I find with mine that on hills its best to hold the throttle fully open and then release the brake, then rolling the throttle off as it pulls away, its something you get used…[Read more]

Should say ‘steel’ parts above not ‘still’

All bikes suffer from this problem to some degree in the winter, even the expensive ones.

As Ken says, buy a can of WD40 and give the chrome and still parts a squirt and a wipe over.

Just keep it away from the brake disc though!!

In think quite a lot of us are with Lexham, they seem quite switched on (excuse the pun) with electric bikes and list all the various models.

I have tried alternatives but they either don’t list our bikes or are more expensive.

I would drop an email to Ken about the tyre pressures, he did post them somewhere on here a while ago but I can’t find the thread now.

Not sure to be honest, mine has been uber reliable so I haven’t really had to poke around with it since I first built it.

There is the side stand switch at the stand hinge, you might be able to take something from the live side of that.

I would hazard a guess that the rear light would be the easiest, but remember it is only going to be live when the lights are on.

You might be better picking up a feed inside the front panel, all the handlebar controls pass through there, and then feeding it back from there under the frame.

I would guess the low temperatures are causing some loss of range.

Does the charger imediately show a green light and remain silent, or does it run for a while first?

If it just sits on green after connecting, it isnt sensing the battery, ie it is just sitting on standby which is liekly to be a connection fault.

“No power & power cutting out in drive.”

Sorry i’m a little confused, so the bike has ELECTRICAL power? it switches on and comes to life, lights and horn work, and it drives? but it lacks power in relation to its performance when ridden? am I reading this correctly?

Probably best to give E-Rider a call and talk through the problem with Ken.

The heated gloves should work fine as the lights etc are on a 12v circuit.

Regarding helmet space, if you search the forum I’m sure this has been discussed before, from memory it is tight but certain helmets will fit.

Just to add, Oxford have a dedicated ‘Scoot Stuff’ section here http://www.oxfordproducts.com/motorcycle/product_type/accessories/scoot_stuff/

Try Oxford Products http://www.oxfordproducts.com/ for covers and locks.

E-riders are perfectly usable in wet conditions, but leaving any type of bike, electric or petrol, uncovered outside continually wont do it any good.

With any cover ensure it is fitted securely, or the wind can get hold of them like a sail and pull the bike over.

Drop Ken an email, I think he’s changed one under warranty for someone else.

Ignore the speedo, mine goes off the clock, genuine top speed is around 32mph in high power mode, but still handy enough to keep up with town traffic.

Check that the battery pack is definitely plugged in its under the floor panel, lift out the battery and check.

Do you have any power to the dash display horn, lights etc? did it take a charge when you first plugged the charger in? or did the charger just show green straight away?
