    Rail (750Wh) Bosch Smart V5 update Mileage/Speed error

    The speed sensor sends a signal per rotation and the motor software multiplies that by "pye" x the wheel diameter. So for a rim magnet signal being sensed by the motor that is 1 signal per wheel rotation. For a sensor/magnet arrangement on the brake disc there would be (probably) 2 signals per...

    Bosch Smart System: auto mode.

    I am quite happy with EMTB and apart from short bursts of Turbo that is the only mode I use. I have just run the Flow App and updated the LED Remote and Motor to 5.(whatever) . That took 2 attempts for some reason but I powered down my phone and rebooted, deleted the flow app and Flow...

    Bosch Mini Remote compatibility

    If the Mini Remote is communicating with the LED Remote via blutooth that would likely not work with the LED Remote inside the frame ( and not sure how you would get it in there anyway!!!). Not sure what has been gained here. The LED Remote is still needed as the system controller so has to be...

    Hubs and pick up points for EMTBS . more or less which is best?

    DT Swiss designed the Emtb specific hybrid hubs with 24..........for a reason and they explain their rationale for doing so on their website. I would be inclined to follow their advice. I have the Hybrid 1700 wheels/hubs on both my bikes and they have been totally reliable and require minimal...

    Levo Gen 3 how do I get these bearings outs?

    From your pic above it looks like you press out the inner sleeve, which will also push out one of the bearings. The remaining bearing can then be punched out.

    e-MTB parts YOU want to forget

    My Whyte 180RS has Assegai front and back but my Whyte E160 RSX came fitted with Assegai front and DHR11 rear. Most of the forests I ride are sandy loamy trail surfaces covered in pine needles or leaves but if I do an XC ride there are more muddy sections. I have been surprised to find that the...

    The Womens EMTB Thread - come on in ladies!

    depends if you are looking for a full suspension bike or hardtail. If the latter check out the Cube Reaction. having a dropper post on most EMTB modern frame designs helps get a decent fit for shorter folk because the height of saddle which provides best pedalling performance often means your...

    Anyone got their Specialized TCU 2 visor crack out of nowhere?

    I appreciate you have said you do not leave the bikes in the sun............BUT.............most especially on the orange bike it looks like the glass ( I assume its glass?) is being pushed from below...ie by air pressure within the TCU body. On the orange bike it has pushed the glass away from...

    Discounted Bike and parts Thread - cheap(er) ebikes & stuff

    I wonder if Tredz know this guy is using their name?? His selling history is all low cost trinketts!! I would not take this as a genuine seller and his company name suggests he sells Hot Tubs!!

    2023 New System Controller - Kiox 300 removal

    when you say "older" the mini remote/toptube controller was introduced only a couple of months after the LED Remote! I did a fair bit of extra protective work on my Levo to ensure the TCU and the tail connectors from it did not cause problems.........that included taping it up and using...

    2023 New System Controller - Kiox 300 removal

    be careful what you wish for. Yes the mini remote is neat but in my experience a top tube mounted controller is not ideal due to the fairly hostile environment it is asked to withstand ( enclosed in an ally or carbon tube). Witness the amount of problems encountered by the LEvo which was one of...

    Shock pressure

    ...just not sure increasing progression actually increases shock pressure....which is what determines how much force is required to push the shock through its entire stroke ( ie bottom out). So yes you can make the progress through the stroke more progressive and that enables a softer top of...

    Rail (750Wh) Bosch Smart V5 update Mileage/Speed error

    Seems to me the Bosch Smart system is generic with the only potential non Bosch component being the speed sensor. The only explanation I can think of is that there are parts of the firmware that are optional but only capable of being selected by an authorised dealer with the diagnostic...

    Shock pressure

    Its a very basic shock with little user adjustment...............I doubt at your weight adding tokens will resolve your issue but worth a try. Otherwise you need to look at the RS Super Delux or similar.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Charge Limit

    This information concerning best management of Lithium batteries for maximum life has been available for years.............bit concerning that EMTB owners are not properly advised when buying their first bike. The reason for the advice is that the most damage done to Lithium cells is when they...

    My 2022 Reign E+0 froze yesterday.

    You do not say what cables you straightened but it seem that disturbing them cured your issue...........so check the connections of those cables at both ends.

    Long Travel Slack emtb's

    I doubt it. I have the e180 rs but a 2020 model rather than the latest but its my bike of choice if it is rough and steep.

    Chain cleaner

    I have recently adopted a different way to clean and lube my chain. I mostly ride in forests with sandy loam trail conditions so the chain does get gritty. With the bike on the workstand I change gear to the smallest cog and lock the mech forward. Then remove the chain from the chain wheel and...

    Rail (750Wh) 2022 Bosch Smart 750 Trek Rail Thread

    Wrong material! It either has to be robust enough to withstand a hit or better still made of a material ( e.g Poly prop) that will flex and absorb the shock. An open design, single skin ally only supported at each end is bound to crack into 2 pieces. If you can find a replacement made from a...
