From my past experience with Ecotric I would take a hard pass on all their bikes. Seeing this thread is over 2 years old I doubt the op even bought one

Ecotric had nothing to say but pointed me to a link to purchase a new battery. They won't even own up to shoddy workmanship.

I decided to open up the old battery to see if there's anything obvious. Sure enough! Poor workmanship killed this battery. Broken wire on the main switch and a chaffed wire where the screw holds the case together at the bottom. That's probably why it was surging until it died and i would get...

I got my new battery. I'm sure it's Ecotric selling their batteries and other stuff on Amazon. It was $399 plus tax and free shipping. Never heard back from Ecotric. Now I'm wondering if I should keep my old battery in case a row of cells fails again. You said it was difficult to replace them...

I knew from the start that you get what you pay for and it certainly holds true for the Seagull. I bought 2 of these. I liked the unique look and 1000 watt motor. I really can't find anything to rave about on these bikes. It's been work and money spent since I bought them. 1. How many flat tires...

My battery dropped to 2.6 volts and it won't even take a charge. Ecotric won't even reply to me for any kind of help I'll just get a new battery but I need to recycle my old one. Should I worry about a fire with my old battery until I dispose of it?

Waiting to hear back from ecotric if they will give a discount. I found the battery on amazon for $401 with tax and free shipping

I don't want to make the same mistake again I'll invest my money in a quality bike before i give them another penny The search is on

51.8, proprietary. Ecotric won't help since it's out of warranty. They say it could be bad cells That's what i get for buying crap e bikes

That was brutal Go crawl back under your rock

I have two Seagulls. One battery shutting down under load. Tried it in other seagull and same issue It will run fine while using pedal assist but throttle only in 4 or 5 and it shuts off. Actually surges in 5 until it shuts off I plug it into charger for a couple seconds and everything comes...

Maybe he chained the battery down too much

Never heard from the other site so I ordered 4 of the glass fuses from scooterparts, $10 shipped Ecotric said there was a 10 amp fuse in their $$$kit. Is there a fuse by the controller? Hope I never need them but now I have them lol

That 30 amp fuse in ceramic is impossible to find. Waiting to hear back from one more manufacturer. I don't care if it even has the pigtails and i cut them off. Why would someone build a battery with such a specialized fuse?

Yes the rear tire can be a bit tricky getting it put back in to the right slots but it's not too bad a deal. I did find the fuse. Ecotric did say the 10A and 30A are $30 Scooterbikes is out of the fuses for now. And it's a very special fuse. I gave up searching lol

The bikes are at the cabin. I'll check the fuse next week. Thanks for the tire recommendation. Bought ours may 2020 so not sure if they have the same tires. Haven't had problems with the tires. The inside of the tube would get a hole from the burrs on the spoke holes. Deburred them and got...

Mine is the seagull 1000 watt too. Have 2 of them. Other than the flat tire problem the only other thing is the brake light doesn't work on one of the batteries. I figured this thread was about that bike in particular...

I had the flat tire problem. 11 miles and 2 flats. Turned out to be the holes for the spokes weren't deburred on the rim. I bought the cloth rim tape and heavy duty tubes and deburred the rims. No more flats and Ecotric paid for all my supplies. Haven't had any issues with the fuses. Can someone...

Who wants to ride their bike with me?

Definitely too hot today, 113*F. 119 by sunday. October thru March are the best months. Some people's feeling of temperatures are different. 90 is perfect for us. It can get below 50 in the winter and we freeze our butts off lol
