    Bosch Purion display upgrade

    All of them. Far too easy to got to change your power mode on a climb and nothing happens - you look down and you are getting asked if you want to reset your system ..................... WTF................... No I don't, but but that stage you have failed on that pinch climb you hit. A well...

    Bosch Purion display upgrade

    Have a Kiox on my Scott 900 Tuned. Buying a cheaper second bike and it comes with a Purion - not going to even bother picking it up until the display and controller switch is changed. Someone has a bike in at my dealer that is having a Nylon installed next week so I will have a look. My gut...

    Let me introduce myself and say hello!

    Guten Abend Helmuth Gotta love these ebikes ;) However, if you are not getting a good enough workout - keep in Eco, or even better yet ...... ride with the motor turned off. The other weekend I rode 68% of a 32km ride with the motor off. Great workout with good heart rate and enough burn in...

    Help me please. Cannondale and Bosch suck bigtime

    BTW - depending on what tires you are running on the 27.5 the rolling circumfrence may be almost negligable and not wortth worrying about.

    Help me please. Cannondale and Bosch suck bigtime

    Ahh NO. Some brands may have custom firmware, but the diagnostic software supplied by Bosch will read and allow wheel size adjustment by any acredited Bosch dealer.

    The Current State of eMTB Trail Access in the USA

    Orange County was decades ago very friendly for all sorts of off-road activities - bikes, cars, motorcycles dune buggies etc. Back in the 70's we used to ride our bicycles for training on all sorts of State Park Trails. Was no signs forbidding bicycles for years, then in the mid-late 70's there...

    How many eBikes have you had/owned?

    Good number of bikes though. Used to have 3 - 8 at any one time, but until the new one arrives only 1 in the garage.

    How many eBikes have you had/owned?

    2019 Scott eride Genius 920 - Shimano E8000 504Wh battery. Great bike but I was severely limited by the 504Wh battery. About 1500km use. 2019 Levo Comp - 700Wh battery. Reasonable bike, but way over-priced. Ditched it after a motor failure. About 600km use. 2020 Scott eride Genius 900 Tuned...

    The Current State of eMTB Trail Access in the USA

    The thing that stands out in Cali, and always did is that some of the top people in the SC & BLM don't even want hikers - they just want land left 'natural'. The problem with that is that when land is left like that, fires are a hell of a lot worse. One of the guys we sponsored at MX was a...

    EMTB and Jumps - What's the go??

    I don't jump much these days, but have to really work hard to jump some things on my eMTB that I can on other bikes. Even at my local park there is a smallish tabletop I just make the down slope on the eMTB, but a couple weeks ago on a rigid singlespeed I overjumped and flat landed. My Scott...

    The Current State of eMTB Trail Access in the USA

    The BLM has been a pain in the butt for mountainbikers & motorcycle trail riders since the early 70's. I hope as many of the ones that were closely involved with the Sierra Clab and similar retire things might start to get sorted in a bit more even handed manner.

    Damaged carbon frame

    We will have to agree to disagree. The way modern alloy frames are hydroformed should make them as close to identical as you could get. Only a change in the alloy batch could make any noticeable change as the jig settings don't change, the pressure used would only change if there was a leak and...

    Damaged carbon frame

    Personally, even though I have destroyed a couple carbon fibre frames and many handlebars, will take it over aluminium alloy any day - not for the weight factor, but for the feel of the ride. I will accept an alloy rear triangle, but prefer carbon fibre for both triangles. Back to the OP...

    Levo correct choice?

    I would recommend something like the Scott Strike - 140mm travel front & rear & Shimano 4 pot brakes with 203 rotors. Price is not too bad & is wired for lights front & rear which is great for night communting.

    First ride out on a emtb.. have a big problem

    Oh - except for @Zimmerframe .... he always rides in Turbo to get to the next crash after his last one faster :p

    First ride out on a emtb.. have a big problem

    Riding everywhere in turbo is like being a drug addict - eventually you can't get enough. Only time I use Turbo is if I double bump the switch going to eMTB for a pinch climb I was unaware of. 41km with 763m ascent - 83% Eco, 15% Tour and a couple % turned off. 45km with 1125m ascent - 60% Tour...

    Hi from New Zealand

    Down there this Saturday - for the Forest Loop, with hopefully a decent number. Only 4 confirmed for now, but a lot interested so hopefully this bit of rain will encourage them to come out on dust free trails. Sadly, every time we have had a decent number turning up the weather has turned to...

    New Bosch PowerTube 750Wh 2022

    And? Since if one is going for equal capacity one can use 33% fewer cells then one gets a smaller overall package. To use the existing package which is 80 x 60 x 410 (approx size) I would expect the 625Wh Bosch powertube could be 700 - 725Wh. Really depends on how they pack and the controller...
