    Bosch Power More 250W

    There is another issue to mount the Powermore, the problem is that in some bikes the threaded inserts in the diagonal tube, used for the bottle cage bolts, are very low, probably to lower the Gravity Center. This is not an issue for the bottle cage, but Powermore Mounting plate requires around...

    Range Extender, have Bosch " boshed " it so that it is myth.

    Which Gen4? 2021, or 2022 Smartsystem? Gen4 2021 allows to mount double battery and probably the Powermore range extender. Gen4 Smartsystem (from 2022) require that your Bike Manufacturer changes Configuration parameter: POWERMORE READY = NO-->YES, and then you can plug Powermore Range...

    Bosch Power More 250W

    This parameter is in a Configuration Protected Area that the LBS can not change, I have been told that the procedure is: LBS plugs diagnostic into bike LBS asks Cannondale for the new configuration file LBS loads the new configuration file

    Bosch Power More 250W

    The drawback of this solution is that Main Battery and Powermore can not be plugged at the same time because the motor will post an Error Code, so to install Powermore it would be required to remove the Main Battery and carry it in a backpack or in the Rear Rack, but as the weight is 4,4Kg and...

    Bosch Power More 250W

    You can buy the new charge cable for 23,28€, and the installation is not difficult. https://www.ebike24.es/bosch-cable-de-la-toma-de-carga-smart-system Regarding the position of the charging port and the flap door for it, I checked it again and the flap door opens 180º and there are 35mm from...

    Bosch Power More 250W

    Hi Gustl, Seems to me, that some guys in the industry are sceptical about the security of an external battery on a bike used in heavy terrain. *** There is a non official range extender (Vola Bike) that installs in the bottle cage, and to work properly it even requires to drill the original...

    Bosch Power More 250W

    To summarize, the Bosch system in my Cannondale Moterra Neo 3 2023 is compatible with the Bosch PowerMore range extender, but for it to work, Cannondale must update the Manufactureres Container in Bike Configuration to change: POWERMORE READY = NO --> YES. So you to select a LBS which is...

    Bosch Smart System Error 503019

    The Motor Control is not working properly, I'd say this is internal to the motor.

    Bosch gen 4 removal

    I read in the Bosch manual and here that the motor bolts are M8x16 Torx40 Plus, but this manual is valid for the motor BDU 450 Performance Line CX 2020-2021. But my motor is BDU3740 Performance Line CX Smart System 2023, I bough a Torx 40 Plus and tried it but it does not fit in the bolt head...

    Bosch gen 4 removal

    It is still not fully clear for me: When you remove a Motor Bosch 4Gen from bike frame, you have too remove Motor + Mounting brackets from frame or you have to remove the motor from Mounting brackets still attached to the frame?: If you remove Motor + Mounting brackets from frame, you take...

    Bosch Power More 250W

    It is clear now, this ebike24 video explains it: They say that: All ebikes with Smartsystem have the SW prepared to connect the PowerMore Range Extender, and in the diagnostic this new line appears POWERMORE READY = YES/NO. But the other requirement is that the frame has reinforced threads...

    Bosch Power More 250W

    To make things even more confusing, ebike24 shop is announcing the new Bosch Charging Cable as: Compatible with Motor Performance Line CX starting from 2022 Smart System, so according this, if I buy this cable and install it then my ebike would be compatible with Power More Extender...

    Bosch Power More 250W

    I just bough my Cannondale with Bosch 4Gen Smart System, according Serial Number label, it was manufactured on May 22th 2023, so I was checking if the new Power More Extender is compatible with it, and it isn't. I'd say Bosch is shooting himself in the foot, there is a huge market of older...

    Smart System power connector

    Nice Work!!!!. I am Bosch User since last Black Friday (and I am also EE), and I am still finding and reading Bosch tech info, and in a Facebook Group about eBike Extenders it was explained that the reason why it is so difficult to add a no brand battery extender to a Gen4 Smart System, it is...

    Smart System power connector

    Battery connector has 2 thick wires for motor current and some thin wires for data communication between motor and battery, battery output has a MOSFET Output Switch and before this switch opens to deliver current, there should be a successful comunication with the motor. Summarizing, there is...
