Hi
My first commute was this morning. My bike came from ebay and is a
standard mountain bike with a 180 watt motor fixed behind the chain
wheel with 2 x 12v12a sla on a carrier. They were fully charged last
night. About 5 k into a 15k commute the low warning light came on and
a few k's later the motor would cut in and out every few seconds on
full acceleration where before it had responded to the throttle. It
lasted like this until I got to work. That plus a deraillier being
maladjusted indicates lack of preparation which I will get over. At
least I made it and I WILL be better prepared next time. This is
actually a good thing as there is so much room for improvement!
Is it just old batteries or is there something else I'm missing? I'm
in Australia btw.
