    Brakes. Which side, Help!

    You got 100% the point. And the same is valid when you move from a motorbike to a bike :) I experienced that confusion in the past :D

    Brakes. Which side, Help!

    Well... EU rider here... If you also ride a motorbike makes sense to swap the rear brake to the left as you are already used to have front break on right side when on motorbike :)

    Garmin Edge 1030 Woes

    Using an edge 1030 for 2 years now and I love the navigation part. I load a gpx in advance an just follow the purple line. Agree on previous comment on disabling the recalculation and alerts if it gets problematic for you. To me I didn't have so many issues as I try to gocus on being close to...

    Kiox and Bluetooth data

    I never got a reply from Bosch and honestly I already started looking at e-bikes with other motors just because of the integration. On this one the good and old Shimano is my current favorite :)

    LSB VS Online warranty

    Hello! I know this is a question that will be answered in a black or white mode but : a) e-bikes are very expensive and in LSB is close to impossible to buy at discounted price where I live; b) Some of the bikes I like do not have reseller in the country where I live; How do you think will...

    So many bikes its HARD! Was looking at Cube Hybrid 160 but then saw this 10 ten best..

    If you search on the same site there should be the comparison between bikes under a certain pricetag and there the Cube 140 is considered best buy ;) EDIT: here is the link https://ebike-mtb.com/en/best-budget-emtb-you-can-buy/

    Kiox and Bluetooth data

    Is that relevant? :) I am not referring to phones but more to devices like Garmin Edge ;)

    Garmin Device

    You're right, forgot about Shimano. Unfortunately I fear current Shimano motors are close to EOL. SO very interested to see what will come in future.

    Warranty betweeen countries

    I definitely understand the decision of your LBS for "standard" maintenance but this would be at least unfair in case of a need of warranty claim. Now, if there is an alternative and not so far shop then fair enough, but if there is not I think they cannot refuse to take a bike for repair. If...

    Garmin Device

    I am skeptical as well on this point, I contacted Bosch a few days ago but no answer so far. BTW same goes basically for all other motors around, besides the good integration with Specialized (and, just learnt, Giant). It's pity, because Garmin devices (as well as other cyclocomputers) add some...

    Warranty betweeen countries

    Hello everyone! in the country where I live I find very difficult to get bikes with discounts (maybe I don't know how to search but that's what I am experiencing so far). I am then thinking about buying an e-mtb in a different country and have it shipped. I am ok with mounting, no worries for...

    Kiox and Bluetooth data

    Hello! I absolutely second @Clarky860 as well as @dochabanero ! Actually I really dislike the way Bosch is closing doors to 3rd parties. My dream is to use the Bosch engines with my Garmin Edge, as it is possible already with Shimano and Specialized/Brose setup. Also I really don't like the...

    Hi there! A new newbie here :P

    Hello everyone! Glad to be part of this forum :) I am still new to e-mtb, as new as I still don't ride one :D I am used to ride MTBs since I was a very young boy but then I had a very long period without one (almost 20 years). Since last year I started riding again and bought a standard HT...
