Bosch Power More 250W

[Spiff]

PowerMore works alone, ONLY if it is activated in ebike configuration. You can verify it in Kiox or Cell Bosch Flow APP, you go to My Bike-Components-Battery and Powermore should be listed as enabled. If it is not there, it won't work

It has to be enabled.
Sounds like they need to RFTM, or you need to go to LBS who knows what they're doing.

I'm at the point of giving up on this, it is very frustrating, Haibike and Bosch both say I can retrofit the PowerMore and just need to have a dealer request a new configuration for the bike. Unfortunately none of my LBS's seem to have the faintest idea of how to do this or, I guess, have much incentive to find out. It seems crazy that an after market bolt on goody requires the involvement of a dealer only software configuration change!
Why didn't Bosch enable the activation via the Flow app.

I've had the same issue trying to get the power socket enabled. It seems the Bosch agent has to email the manufacturer who then has to request Bosch to change the the settings for your bike on their database, so that next time the agent connects your bike it can be updated.
The time involved by the 3 party's just for a simple issue is ridiculous.

Powermore 250 on Radon Deft – Not Working

Hi everyone,

I tested the Powermore 250 on my Radon Deft today, but unfortunately, it didn’t work. The bike gives an error message saying the power extender is not compatible, even though the app recognizes it and shows a green check as if everything is fine. However, when connected, the lights on the control unit turn red (alarm). Disconnecting and restarting clears the issue, but only without the extender.

To test further, I removed the original 750Wh Powertube and connected only the extender. Unfortunately, this resulted in the same failure. It would have been great to ride with just the extender to save weight, but no luck—it simply doesn’t work.

I’ve sent an email to Radon about this and am now waiting for their response. Maybe they can reach out to Bosch to include this in a future update (I shared my serial number). I don’t know.

I get that the Radon Deft is designed for hardcore (downhill) e-bike riding, and it might not be ideal to attach an external battery with just two screws. That’s probably why Radon disabled the function. Still, I also use the bike for trekking and longer trips, where extra power would be really useful. So I hope they can and want to fix this.

Another issue is that the Powermore 250 doesn’t fit inside the frame. The Deft comes with the high-performance Fox Float X2 Factory rear shock, which takes up some space. Maybe the Orbea adapter (mentioned above) could solve this problem.

Keep you updated.

Here is my experience with Bosch smart system and second battery;

August last year bought a new bike with smart system, assembled mid 2022. Also ordered a powermore, a 400wh battery and a short connecting cable to the bike charging port.
After update the bike system with Bosch Flow app I tried to connect the powermore battery.
Bosch gave me a critical error because powermore was not enabled. So I tried the 400wh battery, another critical error since the additional battery firmware was not updated.
The solution was to remove main battery, connect additional 400wh battery again and update its firmware with flow app.
After that install main battery again and, miracle, all green. The system recognized and work ok with both batteries.

So, powermore needs to be enabled but second battery does not.

Back to the bike Dealer, he could not enable powermore with Bosch Dealer software.
But using the Bosh software he started a "Bill" to the bike local distributer that sent him a code and finally the Dealer was able to fix the powermore.
After an update to the powermore firmware all was finally working.

Today, after some experiences with my bike and Bosh smart system, other batteries and cables, some made by my self, I understand a bit better what is going on.
