Ecell ebike

[Kingrat56]

Gentlemen, I have had my ecell ebike from the start of the Covid-19 pandemic , I don’t ride everyday, but I have accrued 700 miles on my ebike, I have two other 10 speed regular bikes which are very good bike. I purchased my ecell ebike because I am getting old and riding up hills are not so easy for an old man and I am not willing to struggle.
Problems, my ebike started giving me problems awhile back like error messages that I ignored while I was riding, but ultimately the E bike started not working no power nothing registered on the display so I called E Cell we talked back-and-forth. They sent me a new display because that’s what I thought the problem was, but it wasn’t. I watched a lot of YouTube videos and deduced the problem down to the controller, They sent me a new controller I disconnected the old controller and installed the new controller that solved my problem. It took a long time for them to send the new controller 6 months around about so I asked them to send me two $127 dollars each.
You need to learn to repair your own ecell ebike, you can’t always reach out to the dealer and get your problem solved in fact most ebike dealers only work on their own ebikes that they sell.
Just too say a few more things, you need to install flat tire protection in your ebike tires you will see all of the products on YouTube. Don’t go cheap.
Upgrade your tire pump to one that locks down on the tire tube. Don’t go cheap.
Metal tire spoons to help changing tubes don’t go cheap.
I have lots of lights on my ebike, I want people to see me, I don’t want any excuses of why they didn’t see me. I also have a cheap camera like a GoPro to document my ride $124.
Ecell ebike is a good ebike, but I am concerned about all of the ebike fires . I am waiting for the battery upgrade so I can replace my batteries with solid-state batteries, and hopefully eliminate those EBike battery fires.
I haven’t heard about any ecell e-bikes catching on fire but if I do I will let you all know. The quality of the battery and how they are assembled, is key to staying fire free.
Battery technology is changing fast, they are getting lighter and more powerful soon they will be making them for ebike, but at present cars and trucks are eating up all of the battery supply. New battery factories will help.

My experience is rather different. I lost a controller at 4 years, PAS pickup error. Was not the pickup, (replaced) was on pcb of the controller. I buy new controllers for about $60 off ebay. Controllers were unavailable during Shanghai covid shutdown, but the spare I had in the garage kept me moving until the factories restarted.
I found tire protection (slime) plugged up the valve after a year and made the tube useless. Could not add air to refill the 2 psi a month leakage. Were slime brand tubes, not the bottled product. I no longer buy those. I buy ordinary $8 tubes at the grocery store. I ride $29 kenda or giant knobby tires that roll right over the trash as long as the knobs are taller than 3/32". Maybe 1 flat every 2 years. I have as many tires stabbed by wannabe thieves that could not cut my cable or lock as go flat from road trash.
Just try to put your chain back on the sprocket with your tire spoons. A pair of flat blade screwdrivers are triple purpose. Pry the tire on & off the rim, replace chain that fell off sprocket without black fingers, screw the accessories back on if the screws loosen. I rode last month with a friend that was deathly afraid of screwdrivers. Fine I told him, call yourself an uber if you get a flat. I will change the tube. I carry a screwon lyzene pump. Has been under water in the bag and still works.
Never heard of a solid state battery. Major brand batteries have their process under control, no bad welds. Good batteries have a BMS to even stack voltages at full charge. I don't 100% charge my battery daily the way those NYC delivery riders do. Full charge thrice a year. Other days 90%. I use a timer to stop charge early. My lunabikes battery is 4 1/2 years old, doing fine. There is some indication that all the salt NYC puts on the roads is associated with their frequent battery fires.
