Hey,
I recently found a broken ebike/moped on the side of the road, and I thought it would be a nice project to see if it can be driven again. It's not big, it's smaller than a normal one, probably not used on big roads. I have no experience with any of this stuff so I was wondering if anyone could help me out and give me some tips on what to do since I have no clue what I'm doing.
I have asked someone, and they got me to figure out that there is still a chargeable battery (I ordered a new charger on amazon) and I even found the key so I was able to check that the blinkers work, though the right one is slightly dimmer. I measured the voltages and the right one receives less. The display does turn on as well, which is a good sign. No luck on starting the motor though, not really sure how to do it. The main headlight doesn't turn on either but that's okay, the goal is to get it rideable again first! The throttle is missing but I think I know where I can get another one. There's also a lot of wires exposed to work with that I don't really understand. In general I took the thing apart in some places, like the front wheel, etc. Not sure where to go for now though.
Any help is appreciated!!!
