Yea batteries are ridiculous for those mobiles. My mom has one of those little rascal chairs batts are like 600 bucks to replace them.

I looked on google it seems your not the first person who had this happen to them. I did read one guy who kept trying to work the battery in and he got it but who knows how long it took or what he actually did.

the thing is the entire electrical already went out this year , so that was a lot of money i dont drive it in the winter , so ive had what MAYBE 5 months total driving time on it? it shouldnt be going i dont leave it inthe rain
its an outdoor vehicle it shouldnt be warped in the first place
im not even gunna bother im so mad .

uh the battery is warped from water apparently. which is bs cause as an outdoor vehicle it should be able to withstand SOME rain. i always took it indoor during heavy rainfaill if it drizzled during work or i happened to be out that was the only time it got wet but it had a protector over the battery,

apparently not covered by warranty, with the money in repairs before im looking at basically haven bought a brand new one of these ebikes. i might as well buy a new one or pack it up and save up during the winter
they want 300$ for a new battery

Canada has some pretty solid consumer laws, but I think it'd wind up costing more, in time and money, to force the issue.I'm going to assume that you HAVE to install it into it's enclosure in order for the bike to run?

You have any friends with a car that you could throw a couple dollars to for gas? And, winter's coming, you gotta get a practical transport mode! Don't freeze your ass off in the tundra on an e-bike!

just take ya a breath calm the nerves a little, get your bearings about yourself. You'll make something work I know it. Just one of those hurdles you'll have to jump today.

My thinking when I'm super irritated is no good, once I calm myself I can figure stuff out a little better.

Yes the way the battery sits it need to be plugged into and put into its area, but i cant get it into there so it wont lock in therefore wont turn on and run.
i never drive it in the winter but i still have a good month of riding left.

the guy who i bought it from like the store told me its from water and it happens and that its another 300$ or some shit. i called my mom and now shes been trying to call him because shes upset since we've paid close to 500$ on repairs already and for another 300$ i could potentially buy another fucking bike with a few hundred more . shes upset cause he just wanted the sale, and my parents wanted to buy it for me as a graduation gift from college and they spent 1,500$ when it was brand new first season they ever came here.

 

[beuffer420]

At this point calling won't hurt a thing IMO. Never know could catch a break

 

[sunni]

the guy told me to come down with the battery just the battery i said how do you expect me to get there? heslike take the bus.

excuse me while i get my pop eye arms and lift close to a 100 lbs battery bring it on the bus before it leaks and explodes and bring it there.

yeah....

 

[beuffer420]

Yea that sucks bout the weight of the batt! He said he will replace it though or just look at the battery??

he will replace it for another 300$ which all together would mean ive spent close to 800$ in repairs this year which i can just go buy another fucking bike for that price

ManI hate when fixes get so expensive it makes more sense to just buy a new one.

i called the head company theyre gunna speak to the dealership. the thing is it shouldnt be water damage and if it is water damage its has never been IN the rain long enought o cause water damage even with the flood it was at my moms when that happened so it was safe in the garage. its always parked INDOORS or in a shed
never the less these are outdoor vehicles they should be able to with stand SOME water.
Im under the impression that 5 months of use with a warped battery something is a defect on them and it is not my fault. and the battery should not have done this.

as for the battery im not touching it it could explode and im doing dealing with lead acid and fires.
but i did speak to a car guy and he said that the battery should last me years

 

[sunni]

ha! i fucking knew it. i called the other scooter place in town, they said they should be weather resistant to all types rain, snow ,heat ect and that its not from me. and that the battery is a bad battery some how or some way .
