Getting a little fed up with my bosch motor. 1st motor lasted just 1000miles, got replaced under warranty in covid, which took 3 months. The 2nd motor has never missed a beat until a week ago. Stopped at a mates and did 2 days of riding. Day one the sky opened up and it pissed it down big time, finished the ride, cleaned and oiled the bike and out for beer, 2nd days was cracking, 10 miles in code came up with an over load 500, ended the ride.
Got back home check the cable in the motor, one was loose, went out for a ride all good. today went out no codes 20 miles banked, put bike away, went to clean, oil check it, motor dead, nothing. Motor is out of warranty, so local shop to get it checked, but can see this as a new motor. The 2nd motor has only covered just over 1000miles. utterly fed up, these motors should last for 1000s of miles.
I think you would probably first need to see a solicitor.RustyMTB
Most Barristers are pretty rational arent they?
Well nobody is forced to ride in the wet. They choose to ride in the wet... as do II feel sorry for all the worldly posters that are forced to ride in wet weather.
Think you missed the point many UK riders have to ride in the wet because they only get what seems like a few weeks of dry weather a year. At least thats what I keep reading on here..Well nobody is forced to ride in the wet. They choose to ride in the wet... as do I
I did get it. But still riding in the rain or mud/grime is still a choice. It's a choice I make too. If i didn't i'd lose about 60% of my ride time. This time of year its unusual to be dry. I think my last bone dry session was a month or so back.Think you missed the point many UK riders have to ride in the wet because they only get what seems like a few weeks of dry weather a year.

I don't ride in the wet and still manage to get easily 10+ months of riding trails a year. Majority of our trails are closed in winter/wet anyway especially Christchurch adventure park. I guess its lucky Christchurch is so dry compared to the rest of NZ
1. "DO NOT shock or drop the freewheel sleeve or crank assembly" What happens if we get a crank strike, will that knock out sensors?My best tip would be to leave it alone! The Bosch Gen 4 is a very difficult motor to repair. Be very carful of the crankshaft, if you pull it or lift it before removing the torque sensor screw or armature and transfer gears, you will break the torque sensor. You will also struggle to remove and refit the main drive gear (a tool for refitting this gear is available from us or our partners if you are outside of the UK). DO NOT shock or drop the freewheel sleeve or crank assembly and definitely don't get a magnet near it. I could spend an hour telling you all the things to look out for, but if you decide to have a go, just be very carful and very delicate with it... Best of luck too.
But then the motors have Mountain Bike modes etc so are clearly intended by the manufacturers to be used in mountain bikes.d. In other words, it's not their fault brands stick them in MTB's & sell them to nutters who go bombing round waterlogged hillsides in winter.
Consumer Rights Act 2015 enabled the Competition Appeal Tribunal (“CAT”) to hear a broader range of private damages claims, having previously been restricted to hearing appeals of the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”).Most barristers are rational & would tell you class actions are an American thing & here it's called group litigation. not much used outside of competition law breaches & life's too short.
So you think that Bosch are great and can do no wrong.You sound like fun.
Break a leg - it means good luck.You have a good day now friend. I'm off out for a ride on my 4000 miles in Bosch powered ebike.

You can refresh the grease under the motors seals.So I’m wondering how long my motor will last this time. Looking to see what I can do to keep the water out
I play that vid on a loop in my bike-cave.There is a how to guide o here.. I filmed it.
A few years ago my neighbor purchased a new Bosch CX motor for about $800 Canadian Loonies. I think Pete ( @Bearing Man) can rebuild a motor for half that price.Mine has died at about 4.5k miles and just under 3 years old.
Error 500 basic code.
I've done the outer seal kit and bearings as per my video.
Been waiting for Bosch to tell me how much anal plundering it's going to cost for a new motor.
So probably the torque sensor. Sorry to hear that m8. www.e-motorrepairs.co.uk has some 2nd hand ones.Mine has died at about 4.5k miles and just under 3 years old.

Exactly!! How can we change Bosch's Ethos??? The motor is easily repairable if Bosch would release the necessary replacement spare parts !!!Hi, the production cost of a Bosch CX Gen4 is max 350 £ So the retailer and Bosch are still making profit if they sell with 650 £ and they tell you it is a good offer That's why they have no interest to make a repairable motor
