    If it is your battery you should demand that they return it even if it is not repairable by them. I would suggest that you volunteer to pay the return shipping to get the battery shell back. I believe you can find repair/rebuild battery shops that can replace the Lithium cells and other...

    PIM Power in Motion Bicycle

    Not aware that PIM has gone under. Did you contact them directly? Second; the batteries are made up of cells so I am thinking that there are ways to rebuild them.

    Good job diagnosing the problem. I try to always end my rides in 1st gear so as to be in 1st when I next ride. Also remember that the bike should be stationary when you start up the electronic system so that the speed and gear setting can be detected (Speed = 0 and Gear = X). I used to start...

    PIM Battery Reviews and Comments

    It is likely that your PIM e-Bike battery has not been used for three or more months now that we are in the middle of Winter 2018 - 2019. So, just a reminder that checking the SOC (State of Charge) would be appropriate. Best practice for long life of Lithium is to store the battery at less...

    Known Issues & Problems with Power-in-Motion (Polaris) Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Do you have the original Polaris 264 Ah battery? Also; at the very first start up did you have the Appex in 1st gear and at a full stop? My Polaris Terrain used to be kinda "crazy" sometimes until I learned that you can not engage the system while in motion. It would turn on but I got very...

    PIM Battery Reviews and Comments

    I finally got three days with pretty similar wind/temperature signatures so rode an Archer with standard tires from the same start point until the battery was exhausted. (battery SOC display showed no bars, just outline of battery) The first PDF contains elevation and speed information for the...

    PIM Battery Reviews and Comments

    One interesting finding is that the 264 Wh battery weighs (on my digital fish weighing device) 10 pounds 8 ounces while both the 380 and 500 Wh batteries weighed in at 9 pounds 2 ounces. Looks like the 264 is now history as it is not on the website. The 380 Wh version is $499 and the 500 Wh is...
