Hi folks, I have a Michael Blast ebike, which I've owned for about 3 years. Recently, I went to start the bike, but there was no power. I removed the battery, took the case apart and checked the following points: (battery is 48v 13ah)
1- the charging port has power - about 42v
2 - the check light on the battery shows 1 green light (out of 3)
3 - no power showing on the output connectors on the battery
4 - fuse is OK
5 - not actually charging at all
Does this mean my battery is hooped? If so, and I get a replacement battery, could I just get a similar one and splice it into the bike? The battery sold specifically for this bike is $800, but I could get a similar generic one for $440.
eg:
1- there are 3 wires currently coming from the controller, 1 for the pedal (not used), 1 for the display and 1 for the motor.
2 - with a new battery/controller, they all seem to come with only 2 wires (red/black for power)
3 - would that mean that the wires currently going to the motor/display are just 48v power?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
cheers
