It was pushed and snapped in. Vibration on the trail makes it loose. Haibike need to get this sorted ASAP bad news travels fast. I was doing a video review on the bike that's on hold now. Its a major design fault. 5.5k for a bike I now can't ride.You do have to make sure it is located properly as it's easy to fit it with the fastener not in properly. Always give it a quick pull after you've fitted it to check.
Are there any part numbers on the cover?You do have to make sure it is located properly as it's easy to fit it with the fastener not in properly. Always give it a quick pull after you've fitted it to check.
I agree it's not a brilliant design as I can fit mine in two different ways which I'm sure isn't supposed to happen. When it's fitted properly there is no way mine could vibrate loose as it takes a lot of effort to remove. The second way, it feels like the upper securing pin has located properly but I think it actually slides down the side of where it is supposed to go. It feels secure but obviously isn't. The secret I've found to making sure the cover is securely fitted is to really push the bottom edge of the cover in with some force and then the upper pin locates securely.It was pushed and snapped in.

VLF-I-1092D2Are there any part numbers on the cover?
Bike shop said haibike are not doing any spares as bike too new. And you can't ride without cover as battery gets wet. And getting a spare.. Is pointless it needs a Remake and quick before this hits the emtb mags.VLF-I-1092D2
You didn't mention battery covers falling off several cases including mine.. and the automatic mode switching on and off even when you set it to be off.. very poor integration of the walk mode.After 4 days riding this I'm super impressed with what Haibike have achieved. Incredible value for money that rivals many direct to consumer brands.

How long did you test this bike I have had the bike now for over 2 months and I still finding issues with it. Several others Now cannot ride our bikes because the battery cover falls off due to vibration on the trail and you cannot ride your bike without cover as the battery gets wet 5.5k bike now sat in a spare room and looks won't be able to ride for at least 7 months before haibike doing something about it.
Hi mate.You didn't mention battery covers falling off several cases including mine.. and the automatic mode switching on and off even when you set it to be off.. very poor integration of the walk mode.

Can you get a replacement cover from your dealer? Why is it 7 months?won't be able to ride for at least 7 months before haibike doing something about it.
I apologise if I was narky. 5.5k is a lot.. Lot of money for me, sorry Rob. So disappointed it appears we won't be able to ride our bikes now for nearly a year as they not doing at replacements. Apologies again.Hi mate.
I rode this bike for at least 4 full days before making this video. Testing in local trails, Bike Park Wales and Quantocks in Somerset.
I had zero issues with the battery case and if I did I would have mentioned it. I’ll always share what I find in the video whether positive or negative.
however, the battery cover did fall off when someone else was riding it last week. And that is a first on the bike, I was actually surprised as we never had an issue between me and @TheBikePilot during our time.
With the modes I didn’t use auto mode so much as it doesn’t use the full 80nm, so manually selected the modes for the majority of the rides.
it’s crap that you’re having these issues. I’d think that if it’s a common problem then Haibike will have to come up with a fix quickly.
Told they not making them currently. And if and when it will be July 2021 b4 first batches.Can you get a replacement cover from your dealer? Why is it 7 months?
Thanks for the suggestion the issue is water in the battery area as it is sunken, first puddle or water in there and boom,.. Batter and motor gone. Appreciate the suggestion though.Will this work until you can get a cover? View attachment 44547
Exercise your statutory rights - return the bike to the shop and ask for a refund as the bike is not fit for purpose., went for a long mountain bike ride yesterday and noticed while filming when I got back that my battery cover was missing off the haibike all mountain 7 this is a terrible design by haibike
I am now stuck, bike shop told me chances of getting a replacement are 0 as haibike are not make replacements, what am I supposed to do now with my new 5 and 1/2 thousand-pound bike I can't use? Also the battery sticks something terrible.and v hard to remove.
This is just a handful of issues I have had with the bike and it just goes to show that many large YouTubers take the bike out for half an hour and then do a review ridiculous.
Any suggestion on what I can do now? Haibike never respond.
Was that for the haibike or another bike?I lost mine a while ago. I noticed it quick and found my cover back on the trail.
I made cover stuck on the frame using the screw that hold the plate.
Only disadvantage is if you remove the battery alot you have to unscrew it every time. View attachment 44565
I own a haibike myself. I did that myself I was trying to find a way to make plate permanent as I never remove the battery.Was that for the haibike or another bike?
Haibike are not responding, ill update when they get in touch to support questions.
And how does that help?I own a haibike myself. I did that myself I was trying to find a way to make plate permanent as I never remove the battery.
You just unscrew the grey screw behind the skidplate. View attachment 44569
You place the skidplate and just use the same screw with an o-ring and screw it trough the skidplate hole.

Stopps it coming off.And how does that help?
It holds it in place, as shown in post #20.And how does that help?
Stopps it coming off.
Use a spring washer or little thread lock.It holds it in place, as shown in post #20.
Then it can't fall off .. well, not unless the screw comes loose - then you loose the screw, your washer and the battery cover - but you'd have to be having a pretty bad day for that to happen.
Thread lock?Use a spring washer or little thread lock.
