Today I was really fed up at the lack of anybody who is willing to repair an electric scooter, so I decided to do it myself! Half an hour later & hey presto, one bike in working order-unbelievable!
After removing the front fascia & establishing all the connecting wires were OK, I removed the battery & plugged the bike in directly to the mains supply-the power etc was fine so I had established that it must be the battery at fault.
I undid the battery cover & immediately spotted the problem-one soldered connection now broken. On holding the connection in place the battery was able to re-charge. Without the aid of a soldering kit I have done a temporary repair with electrical insulation tape and once the battery was re-connected back to the bike I took the bike for a test drive & the connection held without any problems.
I am so pleased with myself!!!!
Now I know that this will not cure it completely but once soldered it should hold as before, & now I am aware of the problem I know it can be easily fixed if it goes again with the aid of my basic tool kit.
Saved money, learnt a new skill & feel smug that I could do it & Mark couldn't lol!!
