eMTB mode adapts based on rider power, not cadence.
The same is true for Tour+.
The brand new Sprint mode is the only mode that is based on rider cadence.
Yes, Bosch defined smart cranks as being 165mm or less.
The smart system and Tour+ where introduced together. Prerequisite for having Tour+ was an active eMTB mode.
That is great news. Thanks for sharing.
When Bosch introduced the smart system they omitted the short crank version of eMTB. I had contacted Bosch support and asked when it will be available as I’m using 160mm cranks on my non smart bike. They answered there was no plan in place to bring it...
Eco and Tour+ can never get pretty close. The first is a static mode with support fixed at 60% rider input. The second is a dynamic mode with support moving from 60% all the way up to 340% based on how much power the rider delivers.
Setting Eco to +3 will give you a fixed support of 78% (60%...
No. You will need a Kiox upgrade kit including a long cable to connect Kiox to the drive unit and a second, short cable to connect Kiox to the system controller in the top tube.
In another discussion on the forum the orange light always turned on, when the rider did not have the phone and Flow app nearby. In this case the orange light could be turned off by switching to a different drive mode on the controller.
With Eco, Auto, eMTB and Turbo you can either modify Auto or get rid of Auto altogether and have your dealer install the original Tour (static support at 140%) or Tour+ which I explained further up. You could also have the dealer change Turbo for something else in case you don’t use that mode...
Why do yo think that Auto mode saves battery? Auto dynamically varies support from Eco all the way up to Turbo based on external conditions like headwind or climbs. It tries to hold the speed you where going based on short term rolling average. Therefore Auto very often puts you into Turbo and...
The official error description from Bosch is a malfunction of the acceleration sensor, which could result from hard landings after jumps. As this is not a common error for bike park users I would try to get it fixed during warranty. The fix will probably need a new motor or at least repair in...
For the V01 display on a Scott Lumen the procedure to go into setup mode is different.
You need to switch on the motor (not off as with the Trek display) and then press and hold the display button and the remote down button for more than 5 seconds to enter setup.
The error code shown tells you...
There is a famous video of someone driving a Bugatti Veyron on the German A2 at 400 kph (250 mph) in the early morning hours on a weekday while for a short moment taking both hands off the wheel. He posted that video and authorities checked whether he could be charged with reckless driving. No...
Haha, define fast when driving on U.S. roads.
On my daily way to work I had a stretch of Autobahn where I could and did go 280 kph on a regular basis. That is 174 mph and when I lived in the states I never went remotely near that kind of speed on a public road.
I never said Turbo isn’t fun. For...
You have to connect the system controller and Kiox 300 the same way the LED remote and Kiox 300 are connected.
One cable goes from the motor to the Kiox 300. A second cable goes from the Kiox 300 to the system controller.
Did you ever have a really fast car?
I owned various Porsches for more than 10 years, including racing them in international championships. I never felt the need to always go top speed wherever this was permitted on a German Autobahn. There are times to relax and enjoy.
Well, I constantly play with the AXS button on the right side of my handlebar to change to the best gear and with the mode button on the left side of my handlebar to select the best of the five modes my Bosch motor offers. One mode happens to be Off, which is not the same as motor off, and I...
According to the product compatibility map from the Bosch website this can be done.
You will need the Kiox 300 upgrade kit which includes the necessary cable to connect the Kiox 300 display with your drive unit. After installation you can change display screens with the mini remote...
Why not? I still use the motor for almost 40% of the time.
But more seriously: On a trail half of the distance I go downhill without any need for support. If it’s more than a couple of meters I normally switch to Off when going downhill. That makes for the first 40% to 50% in Off.
Then I...
