Thank you Ann - I had a reply returned "undeliverable" ??? So here goes again. I am very grateful for your advice and will follow it up now. I have had a bad experience with Raleigh as the agents are not interested in repairing, or even giving useful advice other tha just to throw the bike...

I had no replies to my post about a Raleigh e-bike Velo Trail. I have had three unhelpful replies from Raleigh Bikes from Messrs Rozee. Revill, and McKeown, and the two agents in Jersey say it is not worth trying to find where the electrical fault lies. My bike is a useless heap of metal and...

I wonder whether there are any users of this bike out there? I bought mine in 2014 but three years later the battery seems to be failing (only two greens) and the LED display seems to be knackered. I have volt-tested the display and find that there are 2.43 volts into the circuit board. None...

Thanks, Tom. I did try an electric tricycle, and was surprised to be asked if I had ever used one. I said not since I was three, but when I had a go I found it had a mind of its own and would not go where I wanted to. There is some technique apparently , so I said thank you, but no. Attempts...

Thanks Thomas for a very helpful reply. If I were younger - I am 89! - I would not hesitate to just get a new bike and put it down to experience. I am a UK contributor, and the replacement battery for this old Raleigh bike is £380 - plus in my case a replacement for the LED display (dead) for...

See my post today - sujabi - re Velo Trail. Exactly the situation you portray. The battery and eclectrical components are peculiar to each model, manufactured in small quantities hence the ridiculous prices, and the only option is to buy a new bike because your model is beyond economical...

Bought in Jersey CI. Had decided to sell bike due to age concerns, but found that: 1. The LED display did not work 2 The battery only charges up to 80% (theoretically!) The two agents on the island did not want to know and suggested bike not worth repairing - buy a new one! Since I am...
