Motor with 13 tooth sprocket. General: mus with grass leaves an tree needles is a dissater. ONly chain suck, under that conditions, sometimes not possible to ride at all. To walk to find a better place. Cube and Bosch do nothing, only try to explain to me that i'm the only one with that problem. I did change sprocket, and chain.. after 500 km. Did not help at all.. Sorry to say wrong design to get more power and less battery consupten I believe.

Its an issue that has been bought up in several reviews of the motor

There are a few anti chain suck devices out there, Lapierre make a specific one for Bosch. I have one, but not fitted as winter is not here yet, I got it from Race Co in Stourbridge, but stock is always very low or non existent

How much was that?
Did you need to tap the mounting holes yourself?

I have 15T not sure why you have 13T? is it a 650b vs 29er thing?

also though I reckon your trouser guards will be collecting a retaining crud - so ditch them if you can mine came looking like this and I have had no suck what so ever.

I went from standard 16t down to a 14t and it completely eliminated and chain suck that I use to get. Believe it was a sram narrow wide 14t, I'm currently looking for a 13t that will work

Off topic but did you notice much difference in the climbing ability or drop in speed for a given cadence as you've reduced the gearing?
