    Bad battery or safety feature?

    The snow is finally going away and now flooding. Amazing how much water is in places in northern AZ that we've never seen before. After a few weeks of sitting I tested the new battery against the old one. Old battery still has more volts but i haven't charged either one since my ride It was...

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    Considering the circumstances and not being able to ride or check the battery in a timely manner they are working with me. Not sure why they went silent after showing them frayed and broken wires in their battery. this is their reply, If the voltage on the battery is under 44V after charging...

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    At least they are talking to me about this current battery I go in with a very soft approach when dealing with things like this. I was within a month of the first battery being under warranty. I get the warranty period but I wasn't around my battery to check it every month. I had videos i sent...

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    Also these batteries are not in the bike when they discharge.. They say it's normal and won't replace unless it won't charge up to 51 volts and then I have to send them a video. I asked them when I had the bad battery to at least give me a discount and they wouldn't budge. I would have been a...

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    I tried once more to show Ecotric the poor workmanship of their battery and no reply Good thing is my vacation neighbor here in AZ is only a couple miles from FTH. He can bring the battery there and save the shipping hassle Curious to see what they say

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    I just got word from FTH. $45 diagnostic fee but it gets credited if you get repair They have a haz mat package, $65 shipped to them but not shipped back $160 for repair plus parts Almost better off just getting new battery.

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    Agree with everything you said. People were pointing me towards bikes that were 3X the price and i wanted 2 bikes. I think mine were about $1100 each since i got a discount for 2 and free fenders. Not bad for being shipped and no tax. After the 3rd flat tire in 11 miles I sanded all the spoke...

    Bad battery or safety feature?

    Horrible for sure. Both me and Ecotric I was just out of warranty but it probably failed over the winter some time They wouldn't even discuss it or give me a discount. Bad for them since they now have a ticked off customer and I post negative reviews whenever i can and I send them to ecotric. 1...

    2 year Ecotric Seagull review

    Yep 3 flats in 11 miles. It was poor craftsmanship on the spoke holes that had burrs on them and caused the flats. Had to sand all of them down and use good rim tape instead of the cheap rubber. Not sure i want to or need to sand the rotors after every ride to get rid of the squeal You had to...

    Ecotric Bison many problems at less than 50 miles.

    Probably explains why they sold it with only 30 miles I just spent over $400 on a new battery and it was barely a year old and 70 miles I've spent more time repairing than riding They're junk as far as I'm concerned and ZERO customer service
