OMG I THINK I FIXED IT!!!!

On the back of the charger, you have a switch 230 for Europe and 115 for USA...

I had it on 230 the whole time, as soon as I changed it, the charger fliped from a green (done chargeing light) to a yellow light! now my volts jumped up to 49.5 I am going to let it finish and see if I am at the needed level!

I hope it was really this simple.

That would definitely account for the poor charging problem, I assumed the charger would be an auto detect type, but obviously it's not.

Glad you've got it sorted anyway.

And don't forget to let us know what the fully charged voltage is. :D

You know this should have been a quick fix on MY part but I don't think about this sort of thing, if I buy a charger in USA its always set to 115. It might be a good idea to place a sticker on the charger for us dumb USA people that don't check this sort of thing  ;D

BTW I am now at 51.3 and still charging

Oh my.


It was that simple.  Any wonder between all this help couldn't put a finger on the problem.


If all goes well. We all learned something here and next time we have a similar problem even ourselves we know about this.

You know Vapid.  Thank you for sharing this with us. And letting us know how good your bike rides is going to make it all worth while.  For me anyway.

Bring it on

I also thank you for posting this solution. It is one of those things that when you realize it you don't want to admit it. Doh!

Seems that a big black cloud is always over your head.

This maybe for good reason.  I think its a test of patients.

The univeral powers maybe telling you something about the awesome powerfullness of your new bike and to make sure you have got everything from the kit install to brakes to the care you take riding it.

Waiting and wanting. 

When you get out there, take care and always alert pedestrians with a bell when you ride up behind them and ride slow. 

Another ebiker around town here just flies past pedestrians from behind, no warning.  It makes me cringe to see this.

Even myself was guity of this on my first ride, its easy to do.  I just didnt think. 

I see in a vision of the close future, the clouds will go away and you will be very happy.

I hope it all goes to plan.

Good luck.
