MIRIDER BATTERY NOT CHARGING

[@JamesCookeVlogs]

I've just had the same thing happen on my 2 years old Mirider

@JamesCookeVlogs it's an easy fix. Just watch my follow-up videos.

I’m sorry to say you may have to get a new battery. I wanted to buy a Mi Rider but a Mi Rider Facebook Owners group showed so many owners having battery, and other issues, I didn’t buy one.

Good u hv been researching. :)

lm wishing l hadn't bought one now. I thought l had blown a fuse in the battery, so l opened it up and guess what. There is no fuse. I think that's illegal. It's basically a junk battery that costs £300 to replace. Most reputable e bike batteries all have fuses in them and are easy to replace, but all you can do with the Mirider is buy a new battery. It's outrageous. Did you manage to buy a good bike in the end, Maureen?

@@keep-going Yes - I bought a 3 speed internal hub Batribike Dart 3 E. I couldn’t afford a Brompton but it goes on the Bus, Trains and the back of my Hyundai i10. 500 miles in 4 months and no issues. Interest free from Allen’s E-bikes in Leighton Buzzard. Came by Courier, fully assembled and I have never had any range anxiety. 30 plus miles with 50% left. I do pedal a bit though !

@maureenarnold-hc4sg Yes, l think you made a good choice there. Mirider is great when it's going, but it's very unreliable. I would never buy one again.

Not sure if has a fuse or not. Check with mirider support. Is it still in guarantee? Don't tell that you dropped your keys... Try taking a voltage reading off the battery terminals. One with the charger plugged in and one without the charger. Chances are that the reading with the charger will be higher (fully charged 42 volts). A possible reason for the green light. My battery reading was 42 volts on charge, (it displayed a green light), and 12 volts or something with no charger. Sorry, but a had to buy a new one. Although I believe they can be repaired I found the prices quoted are not far off the cost of a new one.

[@keep-going]

I think l can repair it. Ebay sells charging ports. So l just have to take it apart and fit a new one. It's a bit awkward to do, but l will buy one and have a go. Only a fiver, so worth trying. I will do a video on this when l get the part.

You need to change the battery a new one.Thanks

@red6243 No, l sorted it by renewing the adapter. See my other video on this.
