Battery problem

[Nicola Spencer]

Hi Folks, I’m from Buckinghamshire, England. I am 72 and purchased a very nice four year old Flyer C series bike about 7 years ago in Spain. The big problem I’m having is trying to buy a replacement battery as from what I understand the have now been discontinued. I have been in touch over the phone with many bicycle and battery companies but they can help. Companies that re cell batteries say this particular battery is impossible to re cell. I am now left with a really nice electric bike that is useless, I can’t even sell it as other people would have the same problem. I wrote to the Swiss/German company but have had no reply. Here are a couple of photos of the bike and batteries. Any suggestions would be of great help. Thank you.

Since you already have a rear rack, one possibility would be to buy an aftermarket rack mount battery of the proper voltage. From your pictures, it appears wiring shouldn't be too difficult as long as you have access to how the pins are configured. You would likely have to buy another charger as well.

Have you asked on this UK forum? There's a guy on that forum that builds batteries. Or you can probably find a shop that will install a different battery as suggested by 6zfshdb,

Happy riding, and stay safe/healthy.

Thank you for your helpful answer, I will try and find someone who may be able to fit a new battery on to my bike.
