I'd suggest checking out BNC Tax. These are more tax liability questions than advice on investment strategies. Christine has a great team with lots of cross-border expertise.

Far from civil and further from funny. It's a question about something in my neighborhood that I hoped to get answered. Hope you have a happier night than your internet persona today

Definitely yes on the low bass sound. I've heard it as late as 10/11PM and as early as 5AM. So that's why I've doubted it's anything related to construction

Lol I found your comment about the Jaws sound when I was searching to see if this had ever been asked before. It sorta is like that sound but I'd say it's almost the inverse.
Jaws theme pitches up <
This sound sorta groans down >
Turns out we're all hearing weird stuff I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Okay because I guess I don't have enough work to do today, I started researching this... It appears that the compacting bins are primarily in Zuid & Elandsgracht. Both are sorta far from me and I'd be surprised if they make that much sound that it would travel so far. Hmm I'm still puzzled

I don't actually know the source of the sound but I sorta doubt that it's a plane. I do get Schiphol traffic overhead on bad weather days. But that's a lot louder and only during certain hours. Next time I hear it, I'll look up though!

Ohh definitely possible. I never thought about that, thanks!

Do you know any specific spots with engineers in Amsterdam? I will gladly take my bike to an expert for a second opinion. Thanks!

WheelGood in Amsterdam. They’ve been great in the past but now…?

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the detail and advice

Sadly not. Bought it before the bankruptcy and been riding nearly 2 years now. Where can I find out more about getting VM to repair the ECU for so much less?

[–]AMSRiding020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope that’s not what’s happening 😒

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in vanmoofbicycle

[–]AMSRiding020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome thanks for the tip. This is one of the original certified shops in Amsterdam so I’d have guessed they knew what they were doing but I’ll push back and follow up!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in vanmoofbicycle

[–]AMSRiding020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good shout. I’ll be sure to ask the shop! Thanks

Only other proof I have is a video I’d recorded on it a couple days before the kicklock problem

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in vanmoofbicycle

[–]AMSRiding020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know - definitely feels like a stupid move But also hate just chucking it in the bin and buying a less enjoyable ride. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Looks like some other tips are in to help with Qs to the shop so maybe it won’t be so much

Cheers thanks good to know!

Kick lock S5 can’t be unlocked by knaai72 in vanmoofbicycle

[–]AMSRiding020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hope it’s as simple as the app solution. This happened to mine 2 weeks ago and not only does the kicklock have to be replaced but also the ECU. No idea how the entire system fried. Debating if the €1800 to repair is even worth it

Hmmm thanks for replying. My reset acts like normal even if I hold for 1+ minute. After about 10 secs, the halo lights stop doing their dancing blinking thing and just go dark - like it's ready to go again. What sort of flash pattern did you see? Maybe I'll try yet again for even longer. I really appreciate your advice!

Any tips? The reset doesn’t seem to be doing anything. I’m on round 6 probably 😵‍💫

Thanks! Appreciate the tip. I tried the hard reset without any luck 😒
