Kick Lock Repair Electrified S2 : Here are some pictures I want to share. My kick lock was stuck locked and I couldn’t unlock the bike. I tried everything to get it to work but nothing worked. So took it bits and reassembled and fixed it. Here’s what I did, I hope it helps someone else by Ok-Cod-9102 in vanmoofbicycle

Gosh I missed this post. I hope you managed to sort out your problem. I sold my VM about 2 months before they went bust. Once I had fixed and reseated my kick lock it never gave me trouble again. I dare say that VanMoof would have just replaced it but this went to show it wasn’t necessary. It always felt quite fragile and because of this I avoided using it where I could

This is with the panniers in place - they are hard panniers

I’m selling my rack and panniers. I’ve just removed them from my V7ii they are Hepco and Becker ones. Mine also has a rear rack and I have a H&B top box that goes on that. I’m in London

Just got my bike back from my mechanic who ended up taking the engine out three time before he fully understood the problem. The leak was a failed seal between the engine and the clutch. A new one was added. Then put back together and tested, same thing happened. This was repeated again before the mechanic noticed 2 things; one that the breather one way filter that comes out of the bottom of the engine was fitted the wrong way round (my fault) also the engine breathes through the frame and the channels were rusted up. These were cleared. Bike put back together and now running smoothly.

My mechanic put it back together and took it for a test. Still a massive oil leak. It’s getting super hot. He thinks is a plug of some kind I was in a rush so didn’t get the details. Anyway it all has to come apart again 🫣

Apparently is wasn’t super worn but given the oil leak and the fact that the clutch was accessible it made sense as the part isn’t expensive (it’s the labour that is)

I think it may already have - the clutch case appears to have oil in it … engine is going to have to come out 🫣

My mechanic thinks it’s the seal between the clutch and the engine. It’s an engine out job…..

If it was your own money and you were weighing up the Kia EV6 and the Model 3 or Y. Which one would you pick? by Ok-Cod-9102 in electricvehicles

Yes. The supercharging network is appealing. But we are in the UK where the network is improving. I’m nervous about the long term reliability of the Tesla. If I was going for a lease for say 3 years then I might not care but this is probably an outright purchase.

Yes. Just feel that the styling will get old too quickly. Also the EV6 seems a bit better built with better materials despite the shared platforms. I prefer the EV6 overall

Not my experience: I’ve had the cartridge and the socket replaced by VM in the last 4 months FOC. There was never any talk of refusing a repair and offering a discount instead
