Ignition lock broken?

so basically I just tried to change out my working, but old ignition lock. I put the key in position 1, put two stiffs in both holes and pulled on the key. The big black thing around the lock popped out and I felt that the lock was moving, but I couldn't fully get it out. After a long time pulling and trying I then turned the key to position 0 again to try again. But now I can't even get it to position 1 again and I think it's in a really weird situation where it's not fully out nor fully in so it's not working at all now but I can't get it out.

How to check automatic transmission gear oil?

I bought my 190e 2.0 automatic a few weeks ago and want to check the oil level of the gearbox and maybe change out the whole filter and everything in the near future. I'm pretty new to cars so my question is, does the motor has to be warm and do I have to switch through every gear? That's what I already heard but I'm not sure. When the motor was cold, this is what the measuring stick said, and I don't even see a min or max? And why is it so bent in some places? Thx a lot

VanMoof err42

I have a s3, it can still sometimes still drive a few hundred meters, but then a ship symbol appears and then Error 42. Sometimes there isn't any response from the bike at all. So maybe a cartridge defect, broken KickLock or the wiring harness what do y'all think?

successful battery repairs

I had two broken VanMoof s3 batteries, both with Error 20, 6 and 17. I checked the cells, replaced them on one of the batteries, tested the fuse, which was broken, replaced it but it still showed Error 6. So I bought a USB to UART adapter and ran a GitHub script with putty. In the terminal, I deleted the deleted the error memory of the BMS and shorted TST and GND and voilá, it showed me the full output of 40v on the discharge ports. So now, both batteries are fully working again. If you have any questions or need help, just send me a dm and I will try to help you as best as I can. I am located in Münster, Germany

revotronics or any solution on how to get shifter board working again?

I repair S3's for friends and sometimes buy used broken ones and fix them up to resell them again, I am pretty good with fixing batteries, but many bikes have shifting issues. So, now I have like 3 broken e shifters, is there any way to diagnose them (heard of a GitHub project via UART) and get the board, if it's the issue, working again? And what do you guys think about revotronics, what is different about their boards, that they can claim its more reliable? thx

VanMoof s3 battery

I had a deeply discharged battery, changed the whole cellpack, still showed me Err20, 6,17. I resoldered a new fuse, still the same Errors. Any ideas? Should I try to charge it?

whole new pack of cells, still not working

I had a S3 battery which was deep discharged. I changed the cells and soldered the new ones to the BMS. Now, the cartridge is giving out Err20, 6 and 17. I already did multiple resets on the BMS via RST and GND and also Cartridge Resets. What could I try next?

VanMoof S3 battery manual charge

I have a VanMoof s3 (Bike) with a dead battery and a lab charger. Before I try to charge it up manually, is there a way to test the individual cells? How would I do that, I am more at the beginning of my "electronic journal" but I want to try and understand it. Thanks

S3 battery manual charge

My s3 battery is deep discharged after it being stored for a few months. Now I want to charge it up via the discharge ports with a lab charger device. I would do it outside and watch it the whole time, but I heard some people saying it's really dangerous. I don't really have to lose anything more than a dead battery. But just to be sure, I read about checking the individual cells. How exactly would I do that? Thanks
