I bought Stereo 140 due to wheel size, 140 has 29", while 160 has 27.5" front and back.
I assume you have looked at the SLX bikes in a shop at Sola. You should consider the 2023 140 Action Team they have. It has 146 kg max weight, SLX has max 135 kg. Action Team has very good components, I'm...
I noticed that max weight of driver plus bike was specified to 115 kg at the Cube site, so I ruled out getting this bike. But a couple of days ago I looked at the max wight document at cube.eu and it has a note saying max weight is limited to 115 kg due to the saddle, with another saddle max...
Go for the Cube, a 2022 Cube with 750Wh battery has the Bosch Smart System meaning you can take advantage of the new functionality introduced. The latest is a Auto mode.
I have a 2023 Stereo 140 which I'm very happy with.
The battery has to go trough a couple of complete charging/discharging cycles before the battery gauge learns the battery to be able to show correct SoC.
About 1 out of 15 million battery cells from the leading manufacturers have a manufacturing defect which will cause the cell to vent during it's lifetime. A 750 W eBike battery has 60 18650 cells, so one out of 250,000 batteries will have one cell venting. If this will spread to the other cells...
It's not sufficient to standardize the charging port. Intelligent chargers and a standard for communication between the charger and battery would also be required to make sure the battery get the correct charging voltage.
I quite sure it's inactivity, no pedaling and no operation of the controller, which is shutting down the system with the resistor connected. If it had been differences in current in the battery and motor operating the controller wouldn't have given about 10 minutes of additional operation. How...
Thanks for the feedback. But I had made the cable with the power resistor and reduced the charge state of both batteries to 50% before I read your answer...
I bought these two Bosch parts
EB12100015
Bosch Adapter Dual Battery Oppsett Smart System
EB1212002S
Bosch Batterikabel 400mm Smart...
As a product development engineer I agree with those saying standardization of bolt patterns and battery packs will inhibit innovation. We have just introduced a new chargeable product which is very different from the competition, if we had to use standardized charging infrastructure we would...
We have spent a lot of resources identifying and testing low temperature cells, I'm not able to share because it gives us a large advantage in the market.
We even tested several different Chinese cells claiming to have good low temperature performance, they were all a disaster.
The quality of the cells used for high quality ebike batteries are much higher than the ones used in power packs.
Have you ever heard about fire in an original Bosch ebike battery?
I'm an EE developing products containing 18650 li-ion cells. I would not consider using 18650 cells from other...
I have two bikes with Smart System. The charge state is at 70-80% for both batteries. It's now winter with snow, ice and quite cold (currently about -10 C) here so I will not be biking anymore before April/May.
What's the cheapest connector which I can use to connect to the battery to drop the...
S-pedelec 45 km/h according to EU regulations. Insurance, number plate, mirror and brake light are obligatory. And a driving licence for scooter is required.
