I missed that one. The 300 wh battery I imagine will only last 20-25 miles round here on the hills. I'm not up to rides any longer than that so it could be perfectly adequate. I did stick one of my old training rides in the simulator and it said I'd need 13 ah to complete the ride, not that I'm...

Yes and thank you very much for the heads up. It took me 11 days to hit the button :)

Yes I've got used to hub gears now. I've also got the pause needed on the Bosch whilst changing gear sussed, you do lose a bit of momentum, but it's not too bad. I'm romping up hills in 5th and thinking I can handle 6th and with the huge gap between 5th and 6th I'm then running out of steam. I'm...

I'm over the moon with the bike, despite the 200% limit the hub-geared bike has compared to the 250% on the derailleur versions it will still get me up any local hill pretty easily. I've fitted a rack and mudguards now, it's a lovely bike and looking forward to getting to places I could never...

That Stevens bike is also rather nice. For road riding these faster bikes will be safer than the limited versions. In just one ride I'm reminded of the brick wall you hit once you exceed the 15.5 mph limit, it catches me out, and creates a hazard for following motorists because they've...

Thank you :) Bosch eBike Systems - Downloads

The bike landed today, the box was rather large and also rather battered, luckily no damage other than a little plastic cap that sits on top of the L/H fork leg. I've had a huge amount of those air-pocket bags to pop. They were just loose in the box, clearly the bike has been unpackaged before...

The first thing I noticed, perhaps he likes really fast steering, or more likely hadn't realised they're the wrong way round :eek:

I presume the Bosch bike you rode didn't have the 25 km/h limit? perhaps it was a 350w S-class bike? I've seen mention of software updates increasing battery wh from the 280 ish to the newer 300 wh, no idea how that works. It must be possible to adjust the 25 km/h limit, but unlikely with a...

Wow I wish I had hills as tame as that :p

Here's a short journey I do in the car

Unlike what I've read about the Panasonic crank-drive where easing off gives more power, the Bosch only helps you when you increase your effort. I prefer it that way, but as you say the Bosch does feel like an unpowered bike with very little kick. It must be good for extending the battery range.

I guess so. Although my other bike doesn't feel so bad, perhaps the very long front stem takes out the shocks.

Of course I'll let you know how I get on, it seems such a long time ago since reading about this bike when Eddieo got one, although I think his got sold on a short time later. I will be fitting some proper SKS mudguards, after the poor experience my friend has had with her mudguards similar to...

Thank you. I think it will tick most of my boxes. I was set on the Bold, but after riding it at the weekend I found the front to be a bit on the harsh side. I never thought I'd end up with a bike with suspension forks.

Well it looks like someone took a bite eventually, I wonder who it could be ;)

Of course.

When you say you adjusted the seat forward did you tilt the front of the seat upwards?

Indeed, that probably also explains why bus drivers got praised earlier in the thread.
