I received a eb-5 pro as a gift and I have about 2,000 miles on it. But I’ve noticed now that it doesn’t hold a charge for as long as it used to. I travel 11 miles each way for work every day it held a charge the whole way now less than halfway the battery will say it’s dead and when the pedal assist turns off it is like riding in mud. It is so hard to Pedal I’ve actually pulled a muscle in my leg. I’ve greased the motor as well as the bearings but nothing seems to fix the problem

The battery on my Paris + & London e-bike does not seem to want to charge.The power button when pressed shows red and 2greens.
My battery has not been charged for 12 months could this be the problem?
