Let’s start with the electric side of this electric-assist mountain bike. The ebike has a motor and battery housed neatly on the frame. This Panasonic 36V 9.6AH Lithium-ion battery should have enough power to support most riders. First thing you need to do is to make sure the charger is not defective by plugging it into an electrical outlet… if no indicator lights illuminate or blink, then the charger needs to be replaced. Otherwise, use the multi-meter to test the charger’s output voltage while plugged into the electrical outlet. If the reading is ZERO or if it is LESS than the voltage rating on the battery, then the charger is defective.

What’s Great: The price! You’d be hard pushed to find an electric bike for less that this, especially one with gears, a removable battery and a folding frame.Though they don’t have the same tech features as some rivals, they’re beautiful to look at. The company sum it up pretty well in their own words: “A Veloretti is just a no-nonsense bicycle with a contemporary design and a good price.” Controller issue: This is not a DIY repair, but at least you can tell which component is causing the problem. It is common to have the controller (also called the ECU), located inside the hub motor or the battery mounting cradle. This range is more than enough for most riders to complete their daily commute or weekend adventures without worrying about running out of juice. Front-wheel hub motors provide power to the front-wheel and can feel a little like you are being dragged. Cheaper, lower-quality e-bikes tend to use this system, whilst higher quality e-bikes use one of the other two systems. Incorrect settings in the cycle analyst: Is your cycle analyst set up correctly, or could the settings have changed? Review the settings based on your owner manual.

Cause: It could be as simple as a loose or damaged battery plug or a more complex fault with the battery. The standard battery has a range of up to 50 miles, and the Powerube 500 add-on extends this to up to 80 miles. Both are removable, and charge fully in 4.5 hours. The e-models reflect Schindelhauer’s typical design and riding characteristics. However, when going electric you also get the bonus of powerful electric support with up to 15 mph performance. The“made of one mould” design and the specially developed frame optimises the integration of the motor, allowing for a sporty, agile riding experience. So, is this feature a benefit for those that need a helping hand? Or, are users struggling to get along with the electronics?Overall, the Swifty Electric Mountain Bike is a well-designed and well-equipped machine that offers a smooth and responsive ride experience.

There are some clear limitations to this bike that could let it down a bit too much.

The first two are the more commonly used ones in the UK and the US, while lead-acid batteries are more common in Asia. Li-Ion and LiPo batteries are much lighter than Ni-MH and lead-acid batteries as they hold charges better and for more cycles, can be recharged even if still not completely depleted. The downside of lithium-based batteries is that they have a life-span of 2 to 3 years (even without heavy use).
