Get an old credit card cut 2cm wide strip off and just push that in (in the middle) all the way then pull the battery towards you, Easier to source than that long metal strip and works in seconds. Figured this out from watching this video. It's so easy and quick it's unbelievable.
Hi Retro, many thanks for this video. I've managed to remove the battery without a key thanks to you. Sorry for the hassle, do you know if it's possible to replace the lock-mechanism and where to purchase it?
Hi retro man, I have one of these, the vengeance motor is knackered,I am fitting a Bafang 500w motor on my recumbent ice trike Can I use this 36 v battery as a spare, or join it to the one I have, that came from a Tongsheng tds 250w motor ?
Help, please.. I saw this video and was interested because I have this particular bike but no battery or key. I thought I'd been able to source the appropriate battery on eBay. Sadly it turned out to be wrong. Could you tell me what the battery here is please? Then I can make sure I get the right one.
Thanks for the video, it really helped me! I have one problem though. I can't get into the lock itself, i have removed the screws to where the lock is, but i cant seem to get the compartment open. Do you know how to do this?
Thanks for the video when you have the battery taken out and bring it with you should you cover up the bikes battery connector so that if it rains it won’t short the motor? Have you any suggestions what you can use to cover it? Great video and I know it’s only a video you made if you’ve lost your keys so don’t worry what other people say here.
Yeah my carrera was stolen last week and was checking to see if someone had uploaded a video like this, thanks for helping these idiots out I'm sure they will have fun on my only bike
Hi I never use my bike for 3 months and the battery is not charging any idea what can I do when I plug it to the plug it shows me red light on the charger but soon it turns in the blue light the light on the battery flashes blue any shows it is fully charged but it is not
Hi vency, since you didn’t charge for 3 months the battery may be in a sleep state, you will need it sending off with Halfords so they can have it checked Most likely new battery will be needed dude
Don’t leave your battery with bike or better still don’t leave the bike in public because if it’s wanted it will go no matter what you lock it up with simples. Also The video responses are mostly positive so jog on
Of course its illegal but keys are easily lost and replacement keys from Halfords or other website are not reliable........plus you need to know the specific code to replace the keys.
Saved my bacon, thanks! i used a stiff flat knife but had to give it a couple of taps with a small hammer to make it engage the bolt.
Done it with a butter knife, thank you so much ❤❤❤
Do you know were I can get a new barrel and key or just key from. I have same battery you demonstrated on thanks.
Thanks for this great tip. I recently lost my keys and this vid is a great relief.......
Your welcome 🙏

You could try eBay for the lock and key. Or try Halfords they may be able to order one tho unlikely

Hi thanks for the comment, I’ve seen people use waterproof saddle covers to wrap around the unit, hope that helps 👍
I have an electric bike with a frame that covers the whole battery, do you think this method will work?
No
It seems that this worked because the head of the bar is slanted. Would it work on a battery with a flat headed bar?
Tbh I’m not sure, give it a try just take your time 👍
Can u charge Espec battery without key
Hi. Would this work on a carerra vengeance? (later model)
No, has a different barrel
Bardzo dziękuję.

Hi, it’s just an hacksaw blade filed down slightly 👍
Thank you for showing every thief in Britain how to steal Carrera batteries, complete with TH-cam demonstration and everything.

@@billyrossjapan well with every video there’s always some smart arse
@@retrobikestuff760- Yup. Couldn't have said it any better myself.
Like doing a yale lock on the front door..use a butter knife with a bend in it

This feels illegal is the correct English and no not illegal in the slightest
