    Poll: ?? ? or ? out on the single tracks?

    I sometimes wear headphones when I am on solo rides where there aren't many or any other people around. I normally listen to an Audible book. When I am doing adventure riding using Komoot to navigate somewhere I have never been before, then 1 earphone in, and only listening to the Komoot...

    Servus and Welcome from Munich. Sounds exciting. I am also interested to hear what is coming battery wise.

    New Bosch Tour + Mode

    As already said, 1 battery but multiple charges. In the planning you check out where it is possible to stop and plug in. Sometimes a couple of short stops for a coffee, or a good 1 hr lunch break. The first trans alp I only had the 4A charger, and never ran out of charge. Came close a couple of...

    Smart Battery Charger

    I like some of the func Just read an article about various charges in the latest EMTB magazine. Shimano and Yamaha are not yet supported by the Lion; however, they are working on it. The lion gets very good points in the features that it offers, and its weight and size. However, in the tests...

    New Bosch Tour + Mode

    Yeah what he said 1.1.5.0 I did a ride on Saturday and used Tour+ a bit more. For saving battery it is definitely a plus. However, it was HOT, and steep and I when I changed from Eco into Tour+, unless I was really pushing with my legs, I didn't get the relief I was expecting. Occasionally on...

    Bosch Upgrade

    I have an Android phone and don't have this problem. I suspect your phone is switching into a power saving mode or something preventing it from recording the actual height changes

    Answered Question for the Garmin users

    I just got the 830 too and am loving it too. Bit of a learning curve though. I had the Etrex E30 for many many years which was a pain in the arse to get tours on or off it. The Bluetooth / Wifi connection on the new devices is a huge improvement. I also like that I can broadcast my pulse from my...

    New Bosch Tour+ mode officially launched

    A similar thing happened to me. I got my wife's bike updated in Italy, and apparently, they have to select if it a Mountain Bike, or a city bike. Maybe city bike is default and that does not have EMTB mode.

    Bosch Upgrade

    Another change I noticed is that when you remove your Kiox, and turn it on to check the stats, then it displays the above-mentioned screens as a graph. The same as you see in the Bosch app. I.e. how much time in each mode, and how much input is from you and hoe much from the motor

    New Bosch Tour + Mode

    Yeah, I got the Tour+ activated last night and it feels OK. First time when i got the software update, they didn't activate it. I am a little worried as I am doing a Trans Alp in 3 weeks with 635km (400 miles) and 15,000 m (50,000 feet) vertical. 1 battery. Normally you do everything you can to...

    Joining segments

    Unfortunately, no. However last week I joined a bunch of GPX files together using this tool (I think it was this one. I tried a few and some didn't work) https://joewein.net/bike/gpxmerge/gpxmerge.htm

    Anyone seen a mech break like this?

    Damn, after breaking my mech the other day, I also damaged my cassette. Broke a tooth of my largest cog, and second gear skips, so, I ordered a new one from Holand. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of ordering the new one with 10-52T which is incompatible with the Sram NX derailleur. So, I have...

    Anyone seen a mech break like this?

    I did that the other day too. Bloody stick got me. I think It was one that I had cut shortly before doing some trail maintenance, so it was revenge of the stick!

    Kiox Hacks, tips and tricks

    I just got my bike updated to the latest firmware 1.1.5.0. I guess the Kiox and battery were also updated. I definitely notice an improvement in the Kiox telephone connection. Also the Ascent and Descent values are now displayed in the statistics in the Bosch App. on your phone. Lastly the Kiox...

    New Bosch Tour + Mode

    Grrr, means I have to go back then. As I am planning another Trans Alp in August or September with 630km and about 15,000m vertical climb, the Tour+ sounds like it might be helpful for those long climbs when you are trying to economically use your battery.

    New Bosch Tour + Mode

    I went to my bike shop yesterday and got the latest update. The guy in the shop didn't know what I was talking about when I mentioned Tour+ mode. And when I biked home I didn't notice any difference at all in Tour!! I have version 1.1.5.0 The only difference I notices was a small difference in...

    I bought a new scale today

    Yeah, but they are fishing scales, so Steve would have to put all his fishing gear on just to use them. Way too much effort!

    Kiox won't start up

    When the Kiox is flat, and the bike is off, you can't turn the bike on.
