Battery dies quickly
Gets worseRange has dropped noticeably: the pack that used to last 30 miles now quits at 10-15.
Typical repair cost: $90-$800 including parts and labor. You get an estimate before any work starts.
Likely causes
- Normal lithium cell aging (300-800 cycles)
- One weak cell group dragging the pack down
- Cold-weather capacity loss
- Brake drag or low tire pressure increasing load
- Charger not balancing the pack fully
How it gets fixed
- Battery capacity/load test
- Battery replacement
- Brake adjustment to eliminate drag
- Tire pressure and drivetrain service
Try this first
Rule out the cheap causes first: inflate tires to the sidewall rating and spin each wheel to check for brake rub. Both can cut range 20-30%. Cold weather temporarily reduces range; capacity returns when it warms up. If range loss is real and progressive, a tech can load-test the pack to tell whether it needs replacement or the bike just needs service.
