You have to go to LBS to install it via Bosch Diagnostic software.I've never used or even seen the auto mode yet
Maybe I need to update my system
Let's see your cubes

Almost went with that color but decided on the blue, nice ride.

A 140SL with Rock Shox Forks and Rear Shock is unusual; the original spec was Fox. Did she come like that or have you swapped out the original components?
Swapped.

Managed to get out for a quick shake down this morning before work, and I am absolutely blown away by this bike. I’ve ridden bikes all my life from my Grifter and Ultra Burner days as a kid, up to my current stable of Specialized and Whyte analogue MTB’s, but this Stereo Hybrid is a complete other level!! It climbs like a mountain goat, and descends like a sled. I nailed it down a local trail in the rain and slop this morning and it just railed everything and wanted more. Definitely gonna run out of skill before I get to the limits of this bike. Absolutely love it!!
Yep, the first proper ride on a decent e-bike is amazing! Feels like you can go absolutely anywhere on it.Managed to get out for a quick shake down this morning before work, and I am absolutely blown away by this bike.

Still loving mine and look forward to getting out on it.

@Bummers No excuse! Get up and out! There are people around the globe in Albertas fuxn freezing cold that go riding at minus 15C while cutting man deep channels in the snow! So what can be our excuse not to ride at any time of the year?
I recently had the snip and my shock is with silverfish for warranty repair (the typical float x knock).
Is that good enough?
Okay, we got older. But in our younger days the shock would have been replaced by a broom stick and we would have kept riding. Possibly……btw….…have there been fullys when we were young?I recently had the snip and my shock is with silverfish for warranty repair (the typical float x knock).

What's all this 'when we were young' stuff.... We're still young?!Okay, we got older. But in our younger days the shock would have been replaced by a broom stick and we would have kept riding. Possibly……btw….…have there been fullys when we were young?
A mountain bike when I was a kid was a rigid with knobbly tyres, rim brakes and a steel frame that felt like it weighed as much as my e-bike
In deed. Today I feel like 30 and featherlight but have a smart scale telling me every morning I am fat and fitness watch confirming coming closer down to my real age. 
At least I improved a lot since riding emtb again! 
At least I improved a lot since riding emtb again! I haven’t got much time on my Emtb yet but I’m hoping it will help with some health goals. I have a knee that’s botched since I was 19 years old and it likes to flair up after only a couple miles of riding. Hoping the e bike will let me work on cadence with less stress on my knee and put in some miles.In deed.

Had another early run this morning, in the pissing rain I might add . Took a route with those climbs I usually avoid, this bike is changing my whole outlook on route planning.

It is. I live a couple of miles away, is it local to you?
I live in Chorley near Rivington so not too far.
Ridden up to peel tower and turbines a few times over the years

I rode from Hindley up to Rivington Pike a couple of weeks ago with my lad, it was before I got the emtb and I came back with a lung hanging out. Some parts of the climb up are brutalI live in Chorley near Rivington so not too far.

Jubilee Tower at Darwen, that’s on my list with the new bike. Might be a few weeks before I get up there though, I have a hernia op on Friday so hopefully not too long recovering off the bike
There's a group on Facebook for e-bike rides in the northwest.
Worth joining if you're in that area.
If the link doesn't work just search
'e-bike group rides north west'
