Sorry I've read the whole voima thread and couldn't find an answer.
Is it possible to convert from rim magnet to rotor magnet by buying the kit and fitting it, or is a visit to a Bosch dealer required?

I gather the rotor magnet is preferable if you wish to go a little faster..

Pole answered my query today. A visit to the dealers is required.
The parts needed to convert are off the shelf Bosch.

Can you share the info? There are probably others who are curious.
Unverified but I think it's these bits needed. Cables come in different lengths so would have to be measured.
Plus a suitable rotor magnet of course.

There was a rumour that if you could convert from spoke to rim but not rim to spoke - sounds unlikely though !!

I think Pole have to approve the chance with the bikeshop or provide a code for the bikeshop to use in the Bosch software..

I heard you were also moving the the USA with the bike as soon as you've had the change done .... ;)

Yes it's all rumours and vague truths until I actually do it(assuming I buy a voima) unless someone who has actually done it chimes in.
It would be pretty tough going back to a 15mph restricted ebike after 4 years of a 20mph gen1 and an unrestricted gen2 kenevo.
