But is it really a problem to get a motor if your out of warranty? Here you can sometimes buy it at retailers or get it at the European distributor.
Also in a another forum some people claim to have ridden a new motor by Shimano which is visibly smaller and works on 48V but I don't know if this...
I think that's because of the speed restrictions. But other manufacturers like Vanmoof let you change the speed for yourself only pointing out that it's illegal. But at least you can do it with Stunlocker.
Yeah that's not really intentional but I was thinking more about the official customization and update policy. I really don't like the car like angle of Bosch where you have to make an appointment at your dealer just to make an update. I think you even have to pay for it.
I think reviews should also be about that. In general they are too positive. In some reviews I never read about the clucking noise of the shimano and bosch motors. If Specialiced tracks your ride data it should be mentioned to encourage manufactures to do better.
Yeah the noise just seems to be a design feature of the freehub tech inside the motor just like its the case with the current gen Bosch. Just weird that some people report they don't hear the noise but to be fair it can only be heard under certain circumstances and in some frame designs it might...
I didn't ride the new Bosch but from what I can hear on the videos the sound is similar to the one the shimano makes. It's just annoying if you see other bike who became really silent I the last years and I just can't wrap my head around the fact that the designers didn't think about this when...
That's the problem for me. When I'm in a section of the trail where this noise occurs I have to be concentrated because of the speed and the consequence of a crash. And a rattling noisy bike just takes away my focus.
Videos oft are not doing noises justice.
It is also crucial what kind of trail people ride which is also the reason some people notice it more.
Big continuous roots or braking bumps and trails that just get the backend moving harsh and fast make it really annoying.
It's the same noise the...
I'm two kg lighter and managed to do 2250 with mostly Eco mid. One bar was left so I think 2500m could be possible (and I know some people did). If you are a light rider and only ride Eco 2000m is no problem but it also depends on the surface and uphills you ride.
I was rebuilding the motor in the off season a few weeks ago and checked the cables.
It's also not a clean power cut out immediately. The motor keeps assisting its just that its getting a bit weaker and then stronger again before it cuts out completely. There are no error codes or anything else...
