A2B e-bikes: Hi, anyone know if A2B e-bikes are still trading? I have a technical support issue and I’m looking for a local repairer?

A2B has been gone a long while.
There's a number of A2B riders here on ES, and also those that have hacked the system in various ways to use non-OEM parts to do repairs with (or use parts from them to build other things with).
What specific problem are you having, under what specific riding conditions, and what happened just before the problem started?

Looks like a spring-loaded pin that has been bonked with something that damaged it's outer ring, trapping it's pin down in it. The one next to it looks like it should still operate normally.
If you are careful you may be able to use a good dental pick to work lightly, but repeatedly, in a circle around the gap between that pin and the ring around it, until it wears enough of the bent material of the ring away to let the pin pop up again. Being too rough could break the mechanism of the pin...so it will take a fair amount of patience to try this.
Mouser, Grainger, or McMaster-Carr may be able to help you find a replacement spring-loaded pin, if you contact them with the info and images. They won't likely know anything about A2B or the use to which the pin is put, but they may carry a compatible pin.
