Hi all,
Two weeks ago i brought an "Izip Trailz ST Gents AL 26", as a means of getting around. Last week i went to use it, turned the trottle and nothing happened. After looking all over the bike decided it was the front brakes as they had somehow become almost locked on. After adjusting that, the bike seemed to work again and i put it away for the night. The next day i went to use it, and it does go, however on full battery as soon as the trottle is turned it reads "empty", and the motor doesn't sound right.
Does anyone know what this could be? I'm going to ring the place i brought it from tomorrow. It's a real pain as i brought this bike so that i could move my horse to a further away but cheaper place, and now i'm struggling to find lifts to get there as i don't drive.
Thanks for reading.
