Trek FX-2 ebike - faulty after 8 months

[Drago]

it should be remembered that unlike cars there are no legally mandated standards to adhere to when quoting torque numbers on an ebike. Many of them are totally fanciful, in excess of that which a small car will manage. They can make it up as they go along without risk of legal sanction in most territories, and they do.

I collected the bike, for the 2nd time, last week. The shop are saying that they doceonnected the battery and reconnected it. they then did a 'reset' on the charger, which seems to be 'plug it and unplug it again, several times'. The bike worked. What Jiy to feel that push form the motor once again.

I got the bike out for the first time today, ready to cycle donw to the train station. And guess what - It would nto switch on- again!

Im fed up now. An ebike that i haven't been able to use for nearly 3 months now.

Im going to have a tinker tonight, but i see a 3rd trip back to the bike shop coming on.

........And this morning the bike switched on! It worked whilst I rode to the station. I hope this isn't an intermittent problem.

I got the bike out this morning (Tue 1 Oct)........ Drum roll......... And it would not switch up on.

I'm fed d up if this now. An E-bike that can not be relied on to provide the 'E'.

Just take the bike back and say you want a refund? as its not fit for purpose. Then just get yourself a regular bike.
