    New Bosch Tour + Mode

    The kiox display does not change. The mode is still called tour . There is no space on that screen for another letter. I don’t know if the pirion display changes? As soon as you ride the bike hard in tour you will be able to tell if they have selected the mode feature for your bike. As...

    Helmet lights - what do you use for night time winter riding?

    Here’s the situation in my country ( Australia) . Even the 500 lumen light that came with my Ebike is an issue on cycle paths at dusk or after dark. Not only are pedestrians constantly complaining I am also getting words from bike riders passing the in the opposite direction. It would seem many...

    Saddle recommendation?

    As the original question is asking for recommendations it’s probably ok for me to post again? Gell seats are not a long term solution if you research what all day riding “ touring “ riders use for 8 hour days. Yes a gell seat/ saddle feels comfortable for a one hour ride but it’s not what people...

    Saddle recommendation?

    I am happy with a Brooks B17 . It’s a leather saddle that needs 1000 km or so before it stretches to your sit bones. In my climate it’s no problem to keep it out of the rain . These saddles are about as far away from a gell saddle as it’s possible to get. Having tried a few different gell...

    New Bosch Tour+ mode officially launched

    Hi all, Gyre as I sit in the coffee shop of the largest trek dealership in town I would like to thank you for your determination. It took 5 minutes for the technician to reconfigure the update I already had into tour plus. To be fair on the other shop I was at on Saturday the young guy was not...

    New Bosch Tour+ mode officially launched

    Well I just want to say I called into the local branch of Trek Australian dealership today. My bike was updated already. No new updates since July 14 . Talking to the technician it seems Australia does not have the complete touring + update that is available in other countries. His words “ it’s...

    New Bosch Tour+ mode officially launched

    Thank you Gyre , this information you have posted will assist me in questioning my dealer as to what the technician has done. If as you say it requires human input to select the parameters of the update then it’s possible the technician has made “human error?” I appear to have been selected...

    New Bosch Tour+ mode officially launched

    Hi Gyre, Do you have the July update on your Bosch powered bike? That chart does not seem to include the update? As I wrote before MTB is no longer on the display, it is replaced by a new mode that includes all other power applications. ( supposedly) The new mode replacing MTB uses the old name...

    New Bosch Tour+ mode officially launched

    Perhaps the Australian update that is for a bike limited to 25 km per hour is different to what is available in some countries?

    New Bosch Tour+ mode officially launched

    I have had the ( Australian 25 kmph )upgrade for a fortnight. It has just replaced MTB with the word sport . There is supposedly a lower output at slow cadence using the equivalent of eco. A small change in how one of the displays is shown is included. It now has a circular display instead of...
