http://electricbikereview.com/ If your electric bike isn't working there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the issue. Sometimes the battery isn't working, other times the controller is having issues (like a loose wire) and sometimes the throttle, brakes or motor are not setup correctly. In this video a professional electric bike mechanic shares his expert advice on how to fix an ebike yourself (or at least track down the problem). If all else fails, you can ask a local shop for help.

excellent video - thank you

Thank you guys so much!!! my back brake cable had come loose so it was turning that safety cut out switch on. all fixed now. Thanks again!!!

What could be the reason if the speedo and odo stop working or work intermittently everytime after the bike has done 2 km ? I replaced the LCD monitor and the controller, but it is still the same. Thanks !

hi
I bought Ancheer Electric Mountain Bike with Lithium-Ion Battery (AN-EB001) but it doesn't work even though the battery is full charged
When I put the fully charged battery light the lamp for two seconds and then begins to fade until it turns off also the horn start loud then low to stop but the motor doesn't work at all..
what is the problem ??
can you help me please ..

Honestly I miss these videos. Sam is one hell of a character. Cheerful, and had a talent for making relatively complex mechanics/concepts sound effortless. In other videos, hearing how he goes the extra mile when service, if I was anywhere close to the region, I would stop by. C, bring these videos back man. Keep up the great work!

what can i do if i dont have an ebike store near me?,since u say its better to shop for a bike in a store rather than online

Sam's a nice guy. Visited him in person from watching your videos.

Thank you for that video it's great

Hello Sam and Court. you suggested calling your bike shop and asking about Ebikes. I think what we Ebike riders need most of all is a Lithium-ion battery manufacturer. All lithium-ion packs today are made in China or Japan. The biggest expense for battery replacement is the $140-$180 shipping fee along with US Customs charge for batteries. A US manufacturer could take a third off the replacement cost and make a healthy living. May I suggest that Ebike Batteries use the Samsung or Panasonic 18650 cells. Those are the same cells that Tesla uses in their cars. Those are the cells that you will find in a quality battery with more recharge cycles and better charge retention. The Cycle Satiator from Grinn Technologies also significantly extend the battery life. Thanks Court.

so so helpful..i live in brooklyn NY and have two bme electric bikes that i ordered online from Northridge CA..i have two new 36v 9a kettle tube type batterys on the bikes that failed within six months and with just about 60 charges total..cant seem to figure out how to get my expensive ebikes to run..this info may b helpful..thanks much..

Excellent video. I must admit I have learned a lot. haha

shopkins episode

"More and more people are riding them"

If you read the reviews on Easy Motion Bicycle's facebook page it seems like a large majority of people buying their bicycles are woman, senior citizens, disabled and people suffering from some type of injury. People who can't handle the rigors of riding a regular bicycle, for whatever reason. There is nothing wrong with that, but not sure e-bikes will be much more popular than wheel chairs. e-bikes need to come way down in price....

Think you guys would benefit from a gym membership. Throw some iron around for a few months and you'll stop worrying about 8 pound lithium batteries. : )

there also are thermal cut out switch if your wire control box over heats sum-times there can be a lose wire i have pulled all the wires out and rewired them to find out the problem ..but i think it was the thermal cut out that kick t in no warning just stop working lucky for me i was only a mile away from home ..wella its working again but i do not really no why it stop in the first place

It maters so much when a bike shop works with , and values there customers . Like Edinburgh bike coop did for me . With my ebco E bike .

Excellent and useful, nice video!!

First time I've seen an electric bike lift. Love this vid, Court. It's like a basic primer for new e-bike owners when the durn blasted bike won't turn on...

Excellent interview! Thanks

Very great! The fact that my local bike shop might be not able to fix e-bikes was definitely one concern so far but I think sometimes you might be even able to fix it yourself! Good video!
