Custom made VanMoof No3 from 2009one of the first models they made when he company started

It takes me almost three months to finish this project, but it turns out pretty nice e
The bike was completely stripped and got a new paint job in glossy white with a new decal in brushed aluminum dark green.
All components bin cleaned, serviced, painted and polished.
New tires are Schwalbe road cruiser in 28X1.75 with white walls.
Front and rear break caliper are brand new from Dia-Compe.
And for a digital upgrade the cockpit got a Beeline Velo 2.

Front Fork Break cable removal?

im removing my front fork but want to keep the break cable inside the fork so I don’t need to worry about guiding a new one through the fork. Is it possible to remove the break cable from the handlebar. I cannot manage to open it right at the break eventhough it looks like I could. Or is it not possible and I need to cut it?

Need Help Fixing Error 45- Access to soldering easy?

Hey guys, I wanted to figure out what’s causing Error 45 (no motor support). I found the location of the broken cable: right inside the fork tube. Do you think I’d get proper access to the broken cable just by separating the fork from the frame? Should it be possible to solder that spot and reinforce it with a small plastic tube?
Or would soldering still not really be possible without removing the whole wiring harness? I’d really like to avoid that shitty job 😂

VanMoof X3 e-shifter issue

こんにちは。
私は朝から出かけようと、x3に乗ったのですが、漕ぎ始めて、突然4速にはいり、止まっても1速に戻らなくなった。再起動、リセット、共に1速には戻るけどその後は4足のままで、再起動しないと1速に戻らなくなったので、リアホイールを外してフロントホイール回したところ電子的な作用はしてるみたいで、ハブ側のシフター用のギアが、遊び?が多いように思うのですが、どうでしょうか?動画あげてみたのでアドバイスください!
それとそのギアの向きもズレてる気がしてます。
eシフターが綺麗におさまりません。
よろしくお願いします。

Yesterday, with the nice weather, I wanted to take my Vanmoof out for a ride again. It worked fine until a certain point, and then it just stopped working. I couldn’t turn it on no matter which button I pressed. Luckily, I didn’t have the Kick Look installed, so I was able to make it home with some effort. That’s really annoying with this bike…

Once home, I was able to get it working again with the charger. The battery was at 74%, so it wasn’t dead.

I got a replacement battery last year. But I don’t understand this issue. It’s impossible to go on a ride without worrying that you won’t make it back home.

Does anyone have any ideas on how else to get the bike going again while out on the road?

Problem with Revotronics delivery to UK

I'm trying to order a replacement circuit board for my S3 e shifter from Revotronics who I believe are based in Germany.

Unfortunately their website states it doesn't deliver to the UK.

Has anyone in the UK been successful with a delivery from them, and if so what was your work around?

This is the bike I posted 2 weeks ago that I got on bulk pickup day. The guy came out and I talked to him but unfortunately he didn't say anything about needing registration to try to get the bike working. He just said the company had gone defunct. I can't connect to it anyway. The headlight and rang had popped out. The kicklock was stuck in place and it looks like he rode on it that way. It flashes this code when I try to charge it and the charger does red and green light and pattern. This is just something I should put back on the street right? It would be awesome to have a working eve bike but I haven't found any tutorial on how to strip this down to just a battery and a motor. Anyone on St. Louis, MO that needs a parts bike?

Edit: I have the power supply and it's plugged in there. I'm guessing it sat around a while before the guy tossed it. It's been plugged in several hours and switches the red and green light on the power supply seemingly randomly.

Hi, ich habe mir einen Range Extender gekauft, der noch neu ist und noch nie im Einsatz war. Leider geht er nicht an obwohl ich ihn jetzt schon seit 24 Stunden lade. Ich vermute, dass es sich um ein Tiefschlaf handelt, da kein Lampe leuchtet etc. Ich bräuchte bitte Hilfe, wie ich den RE aufwecke oder was ich machen kann... DANKE

Does anyone know what this is? Doesn't look like the usual Errorcode.

Edit: Thank you for all the help :) Got it fixed.

Is it possible to test the input to the gear change module and if so, how?

I've had the gear change module apart but the motor doesn't move when the front wheel is turned. No errors displayed and no gear change either.
