Probably a long shot but....the battery on the missus ebike has gone kaput after only 9 months. Fazua have none in stock, so she'll be at least 2 months without the bike until they can get some more. This is after 6 weeks out of service at the end of last year with a drivepack failure. Does anywhere do repairs on these things? Its very bizarre that it was working perfectly only a few days ago then has completely died.
Fazua say to bin it, but that seems a hell of a waste to me. Any ideas on anywhere that can fix it?

Try this guy - if he can revive/replace the batteries in your expensive li-ion powered lights, an ebike battery must be something they can look at.

Ther will be other battery specialists out ther from plenty of other backgorund/industries but this is an obvious person to try.

Might even be a member on here I think.

My Fazua (Kinesis Rise) hasn't had any issues over a couple of years of riding -I think the OP has been unlucky, sorry to hear about it.

I have two batteries for mine, as the spare is about the size and weight of a full water bottle - got mine from Halfords for about £350 I think.

You could buy a spare OP, get riding and then either sell the new one when it turns up (there's a FB group for Fazua Riders) or use it as a range extender for the future? FB group is also a good place to keep an eye on any common faults, but I still have the impression that although Fazua isn't faultless, failures seem much lower than the stories you hear about some other brands and constant replacements.
