Sorry I was a bit too vague wasn't I :D So assuming that the battery is faulty, the plan is to replace it with another. But because the same exact battery coming with the same 5 pin connector would cost me about twice as much, I would like to buy a battery of the same V/size (the one in the...

This did the trick! Thanks so much for the tip, the left handed bits immediatly got a bite into the screw and managed to unscrew it! So here's the controller. If I were to buy this: The only thing I would need to do is to cut the cables attached to the old connector, and solder them to the...

Apologies about calling them "heads" :D As well as a total newbie with DIY I am also a foreigner so thanks for letting me know how to actually call them! :D I'll start by buying new bits (titanium nitride as suggested) for the drill and give it another go, will let you know how it goes fingers...

No offense taken, I always welcome any feedback or advice, that's what I am on a forum for, and I'd rather hear what people truly think rather than being given false hope. I also have no problem accepting my own limitations if I feel like it's an unrealistic goal, but I think anybody can learn...

I tried, no success. Not sure if my drill/heads are just not good enough for the job but the only thing I managed to do was making the screws ever more tipped and to ruin the openings in the plastic/whatever the case is made of. I am so frustrated I am starting to feel like just smashing the...

I just don't know what to do anymore. I can't get rid of the case where the controller and the cables are. Any suggestions on how to crack the damn thing open? :mrgreen:

Thanks for the insight. Well I wouldn't say that I am thrilled with it, but it has served me well so far. I've got another shimano ebike that I would normally use instead, but recently I've managed to kind of get my partner into going for a bike ride and she would obviously pick the shimano...

Thank you all for the replies. Regarding the battery, I tried your suggestions, it just doesn't seem to charge, the charger light stays green at all times. Whether it is plugged to the battery or not, it never turns red. The battery keeps showing as charged when I press the button as soon as I...

Thanks for the advice. I've tried but I am afraid it proved to be impossible since the beginning. The charger supposedly turns "red" while charging, and green when fully charged/nothing plugged. Plugging the charger into the battery doesn't switch the light to red anymore, I've just noticed...

Hello, I am new here (living in the UK), this forum seems to have quite a long history and I hope you guys will be able to advise me on what's best to do in my circumstances! So first of all, a link to the ebike I've got...
