    Terrible choice of name with Impulse.

    15mph assistance limit

    If you have a smart phone download an app like Strava and record some rides to see how fast you currently go https://www.strava.com/ I hate the limiter on the Bosch crank drive, however some hub motor bikes may not be as draggy off power.

    Giant Road e+1 Winter Riding

    Seems rather slow to me, but I have limited insight into your situation. I'd be more impressed with something along these lines, especially given the race bike aspect to these E-Road bikes ETA I see you have been very busy creating lots of segments there ;)

    Giant Road e+1 Winter Riding

    Without complicating things it'll still go at the speed you wish to go at, so if you want to do say 18 mph just adjust the effort you put in, you can of course fine tune things by using the lowest power setting. It isn't going to suddenly turn into some sort of uncontrollable beast of a machine.

    High mileage

    The drive side bearing on the newer Bosch motors with a small front sprocket is this one according to this thread. The bearing on the other side wasn't available for my Bosch Classic motor, so it is still running on the original bearing.

    905se Tyre Exploded ! Help needed on what happened and replacement options (with Video)

    I've had two Kenda tyres come away from the wire beading too, with exactly the same consequences to the tubes.

    E-Bikes for Children

    As I've said before kids just need to ride their bikes more. This Strava segment below has a brother and sister topping the leader board at just 12 and 10 years old. https://www.strava.com/segments/14118128?filter=overall

    High mileage

    I've done around 10,000 miles on a Bosch classic, I've replaced the drive-side bearing twice now, although the second change wasn't really required. I can't understand these riders who do that, and there are quite a lot out there who have this bizarre attitude.

    still not to sure what to make of bosch ebike system

    More a case of correcting the continuous misinformation from posters trying to sell their bikes and swamping threads, certainly brings out the worst in me.

    Sorry, I misread your question a little.

    still not to sure what to make of bosch ebike system

    Not true, I often change up a gear to get more torque from my bike, seems counterintuitive, and down to the way the system is programmed. ETA. Dipping back into the peak torque rpm, where I'd prefer to be spinning a little bit more.
