I have live abroad from the UK, for the greater part of my life, and have sadly been in the situation where "furriners" from the UK and the USA, visiting a foreign country, with their loud voices, and total misuse of cheap alcohol, completely miss what the locals REALLY think about them. The...

So they cannot/are not allowed to use their language skills while reading here? That seems a bit far fetched..... Latin, is very useful when learning other languages by the way, it gives you a great "leg up", though I myself hated it at school. I have no recollection as to why today! I do not...

What does that have to do with having a foreign language, being born there? You always manage to go off on a tangent! Unimpressive. Nobody up to now has even claimed a foreign language, be it German or anything else. I am shocked that languages are still as unimportant for some Brits as they...

Thats what the newspaper report stated. I was not there, but after seeing another fire on youtube, you can hear the cells exploding, and the rush of expelled gas. I certainly feel that this old couple heard something....they took as being an explosion. Andy

It was an old retired couple. The newspapers covered it a few days earlier and I missed it then. But its all on the web. Also, it was not the only one either..... I translated their words, and apparently it did blow out windows, so probably it was burning for a period and eventually the last...

https://www.computerbild.de/artikel/cb-News-Connected-Car-Explosion-eBike-Akku-Zerstoerung-Wohnung-29246419.html A retired couple in Lengerich in the area of Steinfurt, stored an e-bike in their Apartment and around 19:45, it exploded and set the apartment on fire. This happened on the 6th of...

Here its in the law that all bikes must have a bell of a particular "loudness", to be fitted to every bike, or the bike may only be ridden on fenced off, private roads. I thought it was also EU law, maybe its not! Sad. I wonder which idiotic politicians got rid of that? Andy

I am sure none of us want to be riding our bikes in company with unlicensed car drivers, without insurance cover, with cars in dire need of an MOT and the good braking and handling that brings with it, as we could become a victim of such thoughtless drivers, as could our families. We do anyway...

They should always, even now, be stringent. But what might make more sense for all, is insurance. One covering all third party risks and injuries, plus "Fire and theft".....as a minimum. Andy

We all here have seen too many people who have spent big money on Bosch e-bikes, and nobody, least of all me, believe that a problem happens to each and every bike, of course it doesn't. Some Bosch Bikes actually work as they should do, surprisingly! Some people get lucky.... But any bike, used...

I have never owned anything from Bosch myself, but if you research on Pedelec, you will find out that to preclude any DIY repairs, which Bosch views as illegal, with or without any guarantee, Bosch uses CAN-BUS data lines to make sure that you cannot even swap out a battery without their sayso...

I agree, but it must be, for any normal person, THINK safety FIRST, especially when instructing others, people online, where you have COMPLETELY NO IDEA of their level of knowledge or ability! Doing anything else is simply being a Dictator and is wrong, wrong and still wrong! Its a character...

Consider the fact that he may have an intermittent problem, a loose connection for example, then try to think ALWAYS - SAFETY FIRST! Especially when its not your house, not your family or pets, not your eyes and not your fingers!!! GOT IT?

What you have written applies to most of the normal battery chargers in the world, provided the expected amps are within the range of the meter, or you have an add-on, to increase the range read, as someone recently posted about. Adding an enclosed ceramic fuse, is always a good idea if you are...

Excellent idea, and simple to achieve, as even say a 10 amp fuse from a 13 amp plug, if say soldered in place, would do it. (probably a 5 amp one would for most chargers, just check the label first!) Also, those who worry about voltage, it really does not matter what the voltage is for the fuse...

He should remember to use the (usually) 10 amp range on his multi meter, as most lithium bike chargers that I have seen, are either 2 amp or 4 amp, though of course they could be of a higher amp-age..... One should not forget that the slower the charging rate, the lower the battery damage, and...

There are no guarantees in this life, one adjusts the odds, to make it as good as you can for you and yours..... I still say, that NOT having an alarm and a GPS, is putting the odds more in favour of the thieves, exactly as you have experienced. Furthermore, I know police forces have been...

Each of us must follow his own thoughts on in such matters, but doing little or nothing cannot be recommended. With regard to the installation of GPS Trackers, inside the battery case or frame is usually best, though I glued mine inside/underneath my saddle, so it was:- a) protected from the...

You do not seem as though you like the British police, one of the best around the world! STILL! But I would be most surprised, that if you talked to them and showed them a printout of the map, or the screen display, detailing where your bike is hiding, if they did not send a crew to check it out...

That indicates usually one of two things:- 1) The battery is fully charged or 2) The battery charge has dropped below the "safe" voltage for recharging. A very long shot is that the charger is defective, or your mains plug has a defective fuse. You will need a multi-meter, to find out exactly...
