What did my bike die at a red light?
When I got off the highway and stoped at a red light it died while idling. Again I ran and popped it in first gear and got it started. Made it home. I put a new battery in around January and had it on a battery tender the whole time so I’m ruling out the battery. Anyone got any thoughts. Sorry, I’m not trying to hijack your thread guptin.
Why are my bike lights not turning on?
Polarity (orientation of the wires when plugged into the lights) is critical with battery powered DC lights. Reversing polarity can destroy your lights or damage your battery. Always ensure correct polarity when connecting wires. Do not short connectors.
Why did my bike die when I tried to start it?
Battery/charging system would be indicated if you get a click or clicks when attempting to start. If you get nothing, nada, start looking at the kickstand safety switch. If the bike thinks the kickstand is down when it isn’t, it will kill the ignition and not allow restart. Greetings.
What to do when your electric bike won’t turn on?
Check the full wiring run to make sure there is nothing disconnected or damaged. Wiring can sometimes run through the frame, fenders, and racks; don’t pull or remove it, just check what is easily accessible and visible. Use a multimeter to check the output voltage of the dynamo while the wheel is spinning. It should read approximately 6V AC.

Rode fine that day. The next time I rode was a 5 days later. Beautiful 75 degrees out and after about half hour riding it died out in 2nd gear. Couldn’t start it up. I went and bought a new battery immediately at the Auto Zone and rode for half hour. The bike died out on me while in 4th gear.
What do you need to know about riding a bike at night?
Bennett suggests you go beyond this to up your visibility. “On top of the legal requirement to have a front white light, a rear red light, plus reflectors at night, you should ensure that you’re seen from side-on,” he says. That’s something to consider when buying bike lights – do they offer any side visibility?
What kind of light do you need to ride in the dark?
If riding on unlit lanes, you’ll need a front light powerful enough to illuminate the road. “There’s a legal requirement during the hours of darkness (dusk to dawn) to have a front white light and a rear red light,” says Woodcock.
