Hello,
I have a problem with my bike. Sometimes, it just doesn't start (by start, I mean I turn on the switch and try to move).
It's very hard to pinpoint the exact cause since it's happening randomly.
For example, I took my bike this morning to commute to work (12kms) and everything was fine. Sunny, nothing out of the ordinary. When I tried use it at midday, I turned on the switch and then tried to move but nothing happened.
This is happening every few weeks, (if not months) where my bike doesn't start for no reasons and it's getting very annoying. Normally, what I would do is to plug it 30 sec, turn on the switch then try to move. It would work every time. I would unplug the bike then ride it like nothing happened. This sucked since it means I needed to to bring my charger every day at work. On the other hand, it was a solution. One time, when I didn't have my charger, I got on the bike, gave it some speed (like you would do with a car) with my feet and then it started.
However today, I tried all this and it didn't budge. Not really sure what to do or what the problem is. Going back by walk with a 220lbs bike for 12 kms is not my idea of fun.
TLDR; How can my bike starts flawlessly for months/weeks...until it doesn't...without any apparent reason? If it would be something broken, I guess it would happen often and not once every few weeks. I went to my shop and they didn't know what it was since the bike was working fine when I brought it.
Thanks for the help
