Introduction
VanMoof makes the world's most stylish urban bike with inbuilt solar-powered lights. After a few years, the light's NiCad batteries won't hold their charge so it's time to replace them.
You can buy replacements but Vanmoof won't ship to many countries (like Australia) so you'll need to fix them eventually.
The most difficult part is getting the batteries
- You'll need two "2/3 AAA" NiCad batteries per light
- Get the ones with solder tabs
- Get 4 - for the front and rear lights
- ebay is the cheapest - these are the ones that I brought https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4-pcs-2-3-AA...
Batteries were less than $4 for four, so it's of course much cheaper to fix than replace - and better for the environment.
