I try and approach problems with a minimalistic view these days. I've spent hours ripping stuff apart in the past, only to find that the solution was a lot simpler. One example which is similar to the OP's problem, was when a previous bike would conk out under load. I spent ages checking...

What I was trying to convey, is that there may be poor electrical conductivity due to the battery contacts opening up over time. Doesn't necessarily have to happen over rough ground, as the poor contact has already occurred over the months/years. The battery and docking station is pretty plop...

Are they really that dangerous? Anyone on here have any experience of riding one?

Sorry to be the giver of bad news, but that's how that particular battery connects I'm afraid. No docking station! http://www.yosepower.com/Products/Electric-bicycle-Battery/101713.html

Oh dear :( KTM + 2

You mention the connections are clean, but one of the problems I found when I owned one, was the connections opening up on the battery. This is caused by a fair bit of up and down play in the docking station, when the bike travels over rough ground. Try bending the contacts on the battery...

You'd think that as this seems like a regular occurrence, Haibike would jump on the case to provide a solution. Dropping out within 40km's is not acceptable for such a high-end brand. KTM + 1

Never, is that toaster for real, or have you been playing with Photoshop? :p

It might not be such a face planter as we all think. The seat is positioned quite far back, so it might ride over the potholes pretty well. The video looks like it was filmed in London, so surely they did lots of testing on the London roads, which aren't amazing BTW. Get some Schwalbe Fat...

And something else that is good. I looked on their website, expecting this bike to be £1000 plus, but £699.99 :eek: that's amazing value for such an ingenious design.

I've not ridden one Reggie, but that does not sound right at all. I would get it exchanged under warranty, for peace of mind, coz something like that does not get better. I don't know the exact details of distance selling regs, but you should be able to get an exchange, or you can reject it and...

Didn't you know, this is Eddie's profile picture:

You're so mean Tom, you just jinxed Reggie's new bike in post #16 :eek:

Well spotted mate. You win 1st prize for observation:

Ha ha, love the bit where the Clark Kent wanabee pulls ups beside him soaked in sweat :D Oh, and main dude really should set a good example by wearing his helmet properly :p

Certainly looks interesting, let's hope it follows the success of the ZX81 and Spectrum and not the C5 :eek: Enjoy your test rides :)

Blimey, you didn't arf brainstorm for questions lol I'll have a bash at answering a few, but bear in mind that some answers are only opinions and other members may have different views. I personally wouldn't fit a front wheel kit on carbon forks. I've read they are more prone to failure than...

See, these noises come from totally different places to where you think they are. Makes locating the source a royal PITA :(

Thought you liked a splash of orange in your bikes Eddie :p

The way I look at it, and I may be totally wrong, is like this: The GND (Black) and the V+ (Red) receive the voltage of the battery that is connected to your controller. The CA circuit board within the display, uses this voltage to display functions like 'battery voltage', but steps down the...
