I have a Bosch motor with a Nexus 8 and yes the hub won't change gear under load, a very brief pause in pedalling is required when changing gear. It's second nature for me now and isn't an issue even on 20% gradient hills. I'd suggest trying to hone the knack before dismissing the bike.

My e-bike carries me 4 to 5 times further than my car does most years, if I didn't ride an e-bike I guess the ratio would swap to driving 20 times or more than cycling.

Did you take both of your feet off the pedals when you tried to turn it on? An error message usually comes up although by the sound of it you have the very early display so I'm not sure if they do the same as the intuvia display. Although that may explain your first problem it shouldn't be...

I find soft pedalling much less tiring than just sitting there. If you can't pedal I guess the fatigue in your arms, shoulders and back sets in very quickly?

AS Wander says you'll learn to use and rely on the battery indicator by making mental notes of how far each bar takes you, allowing you to adjust the power accordingly to allow you to complete the ride without running out of battery, obviously it helps to know how far the ride actually is.

They've got one haven't they? Is this your system?

Also unlike normal segments once you've created your new e-bike segment it will only pick up rides done after then. It won't go back through the database looking for any any rides already done.

Me neither given 99% of my cycling is e-biking.

Replicating a normal segment as an e-bike segment from a ride you've got listed as e-bike. there's no simple short cut to copy them over if that's what you're thinking?

I could but I did 3 rides whilst there, it was a flying visit and I had no way of charging the batteries. I checked my created segments but couldn't see you, and couldn't see it on your profile either. Is the ride public? What was the segment called? then I'll know if I created it.

Glad you found one, I made a few just for you ;) ETA It may not be one I created, I can't see it.

only 10 accounts :rolleyes: thought you'd have had at least 12.

You may get some surprise KOM's if you list as e-bike, I made a handful of them from when we were up there for Le Tour.

I think once we install the 6-stone something 12-year-old it will be a flyer. They are quite light those Scarpa boots, a shame they don't come with much tread on the soles though.

Nice bike, they're flying machines apart from on the hills, although short sharp hills can be blasted up amazingly easily.

Just catching up with this and wondering what the fault or problem with the bike is/was?

I'd have preferred to hear the bike in the video really. I'm used to this noise at your film location.

Just to confuse matters more I've ridden a torque sensor bike that felt like a cadence sensor bike to me, it was very one-dimensional with little reward from any hard effort you put in, certainly not rewarding to ride like a Bosch crank-drive is. I'm not surprised some importers are considering...

and by the sound of it they've wound it right down to a really soft-start in the hope of not breaking something.
