Well this sucks!

Got me brand new tc with one battery Dr Les then a week and only drove 80km (my bike is limited to 45km) and I felt some jerking while I was riding. At home I checked the battery plug and that thing was screaming hot! And the socket on the battery case was already melted..

Gonna call the shop tomorrow.

 

Any experience with this?

I did experience this issue on my TS, and yes this is a common issue unfortunately. But this is just in the warranty so that's good! 
I also did hear this a few times but not this fast 😕

as a tip, always check if the connector is fully in and doesn't make anymore resistance.

Does Simone know if the new socket is a better quality then the original?

Had contact with the dealer, they gonna pick the bike up in a few days for repair
