Let me preface by saying i am not skilled in engineering or electrics, etc. i can fix my analog bike (bike friday). i purchased a little over 2 years ago a One Motor friction drive (crowdfunded price) and it's worked really well for me to use with both my bikes, swapping as needed from the BF to my cargo/trailer bike. Now, however the battery is starting to really lose range. The battery has a rosenberger connection that magnetically attaches to the motor and/or charger. The cells are 18650. That is all I know about the battery, and most regretfully it seems Covid has taken OneMotor out of business.
A friction drive is perfect for my use, super light and swappable. I really don't want a wheel with a hub because I have to lift and carry the bike up lots of stairs.
Are there any options in terms of using a battery from another supplier (does that even work given how little I know about it)?
Are there any other reasonably priced friction drive systems out there that don't require understanding all the connections and electrical stuff?
I am 72 years old, and this old lady sold her car 2 years ago to start biking everywhere instead. I really want to continue riding instead of driving but I'm in need of options to do that.
Any help would be massively appreciated!!!!
