KIOX

[Wiltshire Warrior]

So can we buy the kiox display yet - I am really pissed with my 5 bar battery display and really want %

I haven't seen it for sale anywhere yet. I'd be worried about how exposed it is over the steerer tube; I trashed an Intuvia control with an OTB, but I suppose that's less of an issue for a roadie...

OTB -OMG did you bang your head at the shame time?

 

[Doomanic]

Which time? There's been a few...

I must admit that I like the look of the Kiox, but why on earth do they put it in such a stupid position. The shimano display position is about a good as it gets.
Somrtimes I think that designers are engineers who are in an office and never been on a bike. How often have we had to flip our bikes to fix a puncture or something, and where will it sit? Right on the display!

How would this display affect your riding?

There was definitely one otb where Dom dented his helmet. I think there's a @Doomanic crash pics thread on here somewhere, if not there should be

my KIOX retrofit is placed on the center. the size of the unit is just perfect. not too big. and even if you turn the bike upside down, the screen is safe. Orbea wild sf

My bike since 1 year has the kiox mounted similar to the Shimano screen next to the stem on the handlebars. I will admit I love the kiox. Has all the data you need. Actually more than U need. I must go in and see if I can eliminate some screens I don't use. Anyway the position is good but not ideal. I have had a couple of misshapen where my knee has Bashed against the kiox knocking it out of its holder. Luckily nothing has happened to it and it hasn't gone down a cliff or in a river or something. Maybe not yet ideal.

Mount it on the stem. You can get the bracket for not a lot of money.

Can't do that. My telephone / navi is mounted there.

B.T.W - can any one send me a link of the cable that connects between KIOX and an android phone?
thanks

Kiox end is Micro B, the other end will depend on your phone. I use micro b to micro c on my Samsung. Something like this, choose length to suit where you will mount phone.

I just did a quick search and found this one. Bike-Discount.de
Be carefull that it is the microUSB Typ-A. plug. It is rectangular. On that amazon link in the picture is the wrong plug.

Edit: I wrote micro B and it should have been microUSB Typ-A.

 

[Gigha]

The Amazon picture looks correct to me, for a Micro B to Micro C cable.

Can smebody tell me where i can find detailled info on the custom power setting. Some feedback of a user that has done this would also be appreciated.

one of the questions i have is in custom settings is can you define your own emtb & emtb lite ?

tks

 

[MrPeaski]

The Kiox end of the cable is a Micro USB A not B

This post here explains
Charging your phone from a Kiox. - EMTB Forums

A close look at the socket on the Kiox shows it as being rectangular and not with the sloped sides of micro USB B

HTH

Ooops, just checked again, got the cables for my GPS & KIOX mixed up. Sorry for my mistake.

My Kiox is mounted to my stem but it has been knocked off a couple of times, as it should, but once it was difficult to find. There is a method to tether to the stem incase you have an OTB. I use line from used memory sticks and a connector.

That is a f..ing awesome idea!!!!
I know I can screw it on, so it can't fly off. But I like the added security of being able to throw the Kiox in my pocket when I stop anywhere as an added security that anyone taking my bike can't turn it on and ride of with it using the bikes power.

“Necessity is the Mother of invention “...and after looking for the Kiox after it flew off, I thought …”never again “.
It’s a simple little fix that cost me nothing. You might find a better connector or clip, or better attachment methods, but I never had to drill any holes in the Kiox or the mount. The clip or connector is great. Let’s you take the Kiox completely off.
I thought about mounting the Kiox a bit lower on the bar (knock-block screw) but that moved the screen just out of sight for a quick glance. I like the position on the stem. The colour of the mode tells me quickly and the speed numbers are big enough.
I don’t worry so much about losing the Kiox now and this gives me more time to chase butterflies ?. (Which is probably why I crash so much).

Reading the small numbers on the screen is another problem I’ve had to overcome. I found some small bi-focal sticky things for my riding glasses. I’ll see how these work.

If you don’t want the kiox on the stem I bought this from www.ebikeprints.com sticks to the frame £15

hello all

some time ago one of us raised the issue of too many displays and data.
since i ran into the same problem i wish to share with you all, what i came up with.

i could not find any way to reduce the number of displays, but, i decided to have only one parameter per display.
and they come in the order of relevance [i.e main screen>trip distance>heart rate>trip time... and so on]
this way it is easy to read the data and you don't spend time and attention on understanding the numbers. for me it has also enhanced safety.

hope is will be of help to others

I have set mine up similar.
Screen 1 = Settings (which can't be removed), screen 2 = output/speed display, Screen 3 = range and battery.

I also have a stem mounted Garmin Edge Explore, Screen 1 = Speed, Distance, Elapsed Time, screen 2 = Map (or navigation)

I figure anything else can be analysed after the ride in the comfort of home.

hey all
regarding the option to charge my Samsung cell via the Kiox, i recently purchased a bosch connection cable
yet, when connecting the phone, it does not charge.

another issue, i got a message on my Kiox that it has not been synchronized [or something like that since..
hoe do i fix / sync the Kiox

thanks

Have you got the Bosch eBike Connect App on your phone? (Do you have a smart phone?)
Make sure you start the app on your phone, and that it is connected to your Kiox. THen turn the Kiox off, and it will synchronize / Upload stats to your phone.

With the charge that sounds strange. It works on my Samsung S10
