If you are the kind of person who likes to fix things, or take them apart to see how they work, you can easily learn how to revive or replace your battery. There are risks, and it is possible to permanently wreck your bike's electronics. But then, it doesn't work now, so what have you got to lose?
If you have never taken something apart and put it back together for fun, then I would urge you to find someone who inclined to that sort of thing to help you along. Part of the fun is learning from mistakes and solving problems, but in this case there easy mistakes that are impossible to fix lurking around.
I am in Santa Barbara, not impossibly far away, and willing to help.
Hi wrandyr and Firedog91902:
I was able to charge my batteries as my charger went from red to green. But since the controller still doesn't light up, I can't tell what I actually accomplished. I wanted to follow the instructions to do a master controller reset but only got as far as separating the wheel. I am now not sure if I have to remove batteries from the wheel in order to reset them. When I analyze the wheel it is not immediately apparent how to remove the batteries to test them and I don't know if it is necessary to remove them. Do you have any time this weekend for me to visit and get your corrective suggestions and to seek insight about Lithium conversion?
