    Bosch battery problem. Is me or the bike?

    Page 5 shows the two different lock types. Mine is the Axa lock, which when correctly set does not allow battery installation without the key. http://www.jobike.it/Public/data/Vitvelox/2014323112247_Price%20list%20bosh%20ebike%20.pdf

    Bike to suit me? - short, heavy and unconfident rider

    Folding bikes give a very lively ride (wobbly, less stable) compared to larger wheeled bikes. Far from ideal for an unconfident rider.

    Sounds promising, I look forward to hearing more thoughts on how the Shimano Steps System performs.

    Bosch battery problem. Is me or the bike?

    Ah ha, my lock remains open with the key in, it needs the key turning to lock again, no spring acting on the key barrel.

    Just bringing this post over, for clarity regarding the adjustment I mentioned in the post above. and no battery lock revisions. the mystery continues...

    Bosch battery problem. Is me or the bike?

    Of course if there are indeed at least two types of lock I owe you dealers and the poster in the other thread who adjusted the catch to allow key-less battery fitting an apology. Although given the description in the other thread about the adjustment I remain unconvinced. My original question...

    Bosch battery problem. Is me or the bike?

    Clearly not. I'm not so bothered about harmony, I just want the correct information, without any bull ****. Oh and some kind of acknowledgement when one takes the time to answer a question, a like is good, as long as you actually find the answer useful. Hard to like answers when they're...

    Bosch battery problem. Is me or the bike?

    That's not answering my question. My latch pushes in without the key. But when you unlock it with the key the latch moves about 5 mm further in. If your latch moves the same regardless of if the key is used then there do appear to be two types of latch.

    Did you try it with the key too Rob ?

    Bosch battery problem. Is me or the bike?

    A Yale lock operates differently than this lock though. Perhaps you'd be so kind to actually see how far you can push the latch up whilst locked, then open the lock with the key, then come back and tell us all how much more the latch moves when you use the key.

    Bosch battery problem. Is me or the bike?

    I can't comment on there being two different systems having only seen my bike. It seems highly unlikely to me though. Mine can be pushed up a bit, but not fully.

    Bosch battery problem. Is me or the bike?

    The adjustment is made on the bottom mount, once the plastic bits are removed. Adjust the mount upwards so that the battery only just slots in with the lock open. If you can fit the battery with the lock locked the bottom mount is too low. Martin gives a slightly better explanation in this...

    Bosch battery problem. Is me or the bike?

    Perhaps you'd like to explain why the manual differs from your opinion on the correct way to fit the battery? page 33 http://www.bosch-ebike.de/media/home/service/downloads/bal_active_performance/201308_0276001SAI_Sammel_ActiveLine_003.pdf Not surprising you dealers who insist on abusing the...

    Give those tour riders a target

    Well none of the Tour riders who use Strava beat my times on Holme Moss :) Marcus looked to be the quickest on the day. http://app.strava.com/activities/162566215#3773008228

    Did anyone go out to watch the Tour de France

    That's certainly keen, were there many there that early? and have you got the video on youtube yet?

    Bosch battery problem. Is me or the bike?

    For clarity on this can you expand on this clicking you mention? Are you suggesting that a battery is inserted into the holder with the lock locked?

    Bosch speed sensor fault code

    That was always my intention too, but mine came loose on the first ride I did without the screw. I perhaps need to take a closer look at the clip on mine.
