The electrical contacts in the locking mechanism of my Coocase V37 Wizard, Volt Ed. are on their way out.
The only USA distributor is Twisted Throttle, and they don't have a replacement part listed. Furthermore, I saw reference in another forum that they are not continuing to carry the brand due to quality/support issues. I tried contacting Coocase directly, but their web-form kept returning error messages (unsuccessfully retried with pop-up and add blockers off).
Came here to see if anyone had any idea how I might be able to fix this. The only "ghetto fix" I can think of is to solder wires to both ends of the connections, running the wire around to the rear over the hinges. This would keep them constantly/permanently connected. Beyond that, and other ideas?
