I'm just joined EBR and just watched the intro from Justin, Michael and Ben. Very Impressed! Good luck to Court and Good Luck to the new crew.
My story.... I bought two Addmotors from a local dealer in May 2021 in NE Florida. The bikes have been well taken care of.
In March of 2025 my M430 ADDMOTOR (picture attached) would not turn on. I contacted our local dealer and they stated that they were no longer an Addmotor dealer because they could not get parts from them in a reasonable timeframe, if at all. My local dealer looked at the bike and determined the the battery was bad and would only resister 6 volts and it needed 48V volts. I was advised by tem to be very careful about using 3rd party batteries as they could cause other issues as well as catching on fire.
Next, I contacted Addmotor and after discussing the situation with them they they told me that my M430 Ebike was discontinued and so was the battery and there was NOTHING they could do, or were willing to do. I went back to my local dealer and let them know what Addmotor said. They then told me that they had located a source for 3rd party batteries and they were $800.
So, That is where I need some advise as to what to do. Do I buy a 3rd party battery, buy another bike or what? HELP!!! ALSO, Should I be posting this under another forum besides this Introduction Forum.
