I bought an e-bike conversion kit from Alien Scooters about 12 years ago. They were very helpful back then, providing excellent service at reasonable prices.
I've put thousands of miles on that kit over the years, but a few years ago, the neglect thing happened. Kinda snuck up on me, you know? And the bike sat in the shed for most of the last two years. Until this week! I decided I was going to bring it out of retirement, clean it up, and re-join the ranks of (part time) e-bike commuters.
I was having problems with what I thought was the controller, or command module, if you will. I looked online for a solution, but came up empty. So I called the good folks at Alien Scooters, now located off of 290 East. I was certain that my command module was obsolete, but was hoping they could suggest a compatible replacement. I spoke to Ann over the phone for about ten minutes and she told me that my logic was faulty, not my command module. She pointed me toward a more thorough inspection of my battery pack, which showed that I had a loose wire in there, causing my problem.
Talk about service after the sale! TWELVE YEARS LATER, and she was as helpful as if I had bought it last week. These are the kind of folks who deserve your money, good people.
Now that I'm back on the road, I imagine there is a possibility I'll want an upgrade in equipment. And when that happens, I promise you, it will come from the knowledgable, friendly folks at ALIEN SCOOTERS! read more
