  • This may be a little late, so apologies. But I had similar performance after I washed my bike upside down and let water get in the bottom.

    That is, I did exactly what the instructions specifically warn you not to do.

    The light started flickering despite being turned off, but was otherwise unresponsive to the switches and whatnot. Panicked, took it off the bike and put it in a big bag of rice for a couple of days. It was a bit erratic with the USB charge indicator light for the first week or so back on the bike, but it's been fine since.

    But if starbike/BUMM (who didn't reply to my email) don't replace or repair it for you, you might still be able to save it?

  • Cool, thanks for the rice tip, I forgot to try that. Might be useful if bumm refuse to repair/replace.

    I hadn't spotted the no water on the underside advice ... seems a bit odd, bicycles are subject to water from pretty much every direction ...

  • I think it's cos the spade (?) connectors on the underside aren't sealed at all. I think it says specifically be careful when you wash the bike - guess they're thinking about hoses or whatever.

    I've never had mine succumb to road spray at all, and I guess they're fairly well protected from above.
