My Gain won't work, nothing happens when you press the on button. it works fine when it's plugged in and reports 90% battery to my Garmin and the Mahle app, when it's upside down if I spin the cranks when it's plugged in the motor kicks in, and I've checked all the plugs and they all look like they came out of the factory as I would expect as I only ride this bike when it's nice weather and it's 8 months old.
according to the Mahle app diagnostics page it shows the battery as 0%, which could explain why it's not working. bit odd as on the main page of the app it shows 90% like my Garmin says, and the IWOC light is white which would indicate a charge level of 75% +, and it reports it's status as OK with a green tick (it's clearly not)
what sort of fault does this sound like? faulty battery? I've raised a claim with the place where I bought the bike from but they said they will probably have to get the bike back to look at it.
some further info, the last ride I did was 2 weeks ago and I got home with 2% left, which is probably the lowest I've ever ran it to. I put it on charge for 4 hours when I got back and then left it for 2 weeks in the garage, today it's showing 90% charge and that number hasn't changed all today when it was on charge for 2 hours
