Is it a Bosch motor with Knox controller?

I started with a Thron2. Its a very solid ride but heavy and a bit ponderous. I've moved on to having two bikes - a lightweight trail bike (Levo SL) and an enduro (Merida e160). I suggest you move on to a bike that is more in keeping with your developing skill and experience.

Garmin 1040 for me also (big display) and am also in Scotland. I have difficulty with Garmin+Komoot to begin the route or to get to the start. Phone is useful for this, or a careful study the start area on the home computer.

No new Shimano bikes with auto-shift installed on the market so far - at least that I can (can't) find.

Thanks for the reply Astro, I pretty-much get that now. A new hip next month after that will replace a 10 speed 2022 Merida e160 with something similar with manufacturer-installed Auto-shifting. Can't find even one bike now! Otherwise, get a new 11 speed Merida E160 and lbs will install it...

Does any bike brand offer manufacturer-fitted Shimano Autoshifting?

Quite a jumpy line of thinking, if I may say so. I have had three Bosch Gen4 bikes (still have two) with no such issues. You bought a respected manufacture's bike fitted with a respected manufacturer's motor from a LBS less than a year ago. You are entitled to redress if the bike is not riding...

Yep, I'll take that please

I think 12-speed now can have Shimano auto shift. Check static-bikes.co.uk and check specs of Orbed Rise M-Team 2023

I've found two bikes with 12-speed Shimano auto-shift pre-installed. One SL @ 17kg and one enduro @ 24kg ORBEA RISE M-TEAM STATIC SHRED E-RACE It was explained above the technical reason preventing 12-speed auto-shift but maybe that's been overcome?

I'd like to ask which manufacturers are installing Shimano auto-shifting and which models come with Shimano 11 speed auto-shifting preinstalled.

30,000 km on one motor? I'd like to learn more about that. Pray tell us how? In any case, Shimano should adopt him.

It's a journey. Start from wherever you are and go from there. Improve with experience, sell one and buy another. You should end up with a number of bikes that cover the gamut of your needs, then buy another bike.

My Levo is not kept in the house. I wait until the muck is completely dry, then brush it off, then final wipe with dry cloth.

London Fire Brigade is asking e-bike users to check their batteries following a fire caused by an exploding battery that has been officially classed by the UK’s regulatory body as a “dangerous” product. The battery pack caught alight in a corridor of a hotel in Kensington on Friday 26 January...

If you are right, Cycling Weekly reported in May '23 that the following Canyon bikes were UL 2849 certified Grail:ON, Precede:ON, Spectral:ON, Torque:ON

I still don't understand why they can't offer auto-shifting for 12 speed bikes even if it meant auto over cogs 2-12 and manual for cog 1 (like an overdrive cog) and a special cassette. Surely they can't leave it like is?

Competition, competition, competition. Only good will come from this.

They are now branded UL Solutions and approx. half of e-bike manufacturers use UL2849 certification. UL2849 provides a good chance of a 'recognised' safety standard of e-bike electrical systems, including the batteries. Worth checking (link provided above) if your next bike complies.
