Sensium battery replacement??

[paulbeardy]

Hi
My cycling friend is 90 , and at 87 he treated himself to a lapierre sensium 2.2 e road bike .. brilliant bike until recently.
His battery isn't holding the charge and lack of range is hindering his pleasure of cycling.
Lapierre have told him the battery cannot be changed/ replaced ( surely that can't be correct ?? ) ..and he now has to carry a 2nd battery disguised as a drinks bottle!!
The bike weighs more than he does !!
Does anyone know if the battery CAN be replaced???
Thanks

Sure. Someone put it in the frame, so it can be replaced. There may be a cover on the front stem, and the fork must be removed to slide it out.

But they may no longer make the battery so they have none to sell.
