Have Bosch missed a trick?

[killerade]

So where is this firmware? Is it coming out same time as the new screen?

Do we have any leaks about the new screen? I found this on YouTube...

Don't worry about Bosch who have a huge market share currently. What I'm really interested in is what is Shimano doing? They have lost huge OEM support for their ebike systems over the last 2 years.

Will they try and compete or flag the whole motor game and focus on their usual parts? Its amazing a company with Shimano's cycling history lies where they are now.

Yeah the number of brands that have gone away from Shimano motors is wild!
The EP801 update made the motor competitve, so why did everyone start moving away? Something they haven't told anyone but the OEM's?

Smaller batteries, dated display tech, rattly motors- they never really got that much closer to the competition.

Market wanted Bosch, so brands started moving that way.

Rob, do you think they will flag the motor race with the likes of DJI, TQ etc now producing better quality products?

I would have thought with Shimano's rich history they should be able to compete with the likes of Bosch/DJI/Brose/Sram etc

I think that Shimano, whilst generally making good products, are not at the bleeding edge of any bike tech.

Wireless drivetrains, general product innovation and e-systems seem to be released at super slow schedules.

Their current lineup is also pretty confusing.

I just think they are suffering from a dogmatic approach to bike trends and industry innovation.
