Hi first post here, possibly in the wrong category but here goes.
I recently took an electric bike to a repairer who didnt seem to want to take it in (for whatever reason) and appeared ignorant to speak to.
I told him I was sure it was wired wrong and gave him the wiring diagram I had made up (which he didn't seem bothered about) and asked if he could check that.
While in the workshop I noticed his wiring diagram on the wall and spotted my brake levers were wired wrong already.
I got a call from him today saying he had checked the bike and it might be a switch or it might be the throttle which I had already told him I had changed, the wiring is connected at one point which is where I think it has been rewired wrongly and this was shrink tubed so I will easily be able to see if he has checked the wiring.
I suspect he hasn't but will see when I go to pick it up.
With his vague diagnosis and suspecting he has not checked the wiring/doesn't know how to test it properly I would not be happy to pay him.
My question is am entitled to collect it (can he keep it) if I refuse to pay him.
I am happy for him to take it further for his money as I am going to take it to a well known reputable repairer and will find out exactly what is wrong with it in the end.
