    Tsdz2 brass gear change (weird high pitched hum)

    Well. Its a bit of a saga. Originally had a TSDz2 750w motor which I used for a year and after 3000km the blue gear wore so badly I lost all assist. Ordered a brass gear only to find I couldn't open the motor as the crappy Allen bolts rounded and had corroded and fused to the body of the motor...

    Tsdz2 brass gear change (weird high pitched hum)

    Hi All Not sure if this is a common problem or maybe not even a problem but having changed to a brass Gear cog, I cant help but be quite self conscious when I set off on my commute. The motor is properly loud for the first 5 minutes under load. Lots of torque initially which seems to dwindle...

    Bosch speed chip and service upgrade

    At what point should I consider recelling the battery? It's at around 60% capacity of my new battery now. Should I just keep using it till it develops a fault?

    True - I'm going to have to face up to the fact there is no such thing as free power! Yet...

    Why pay for software upgrade?

    True - it just niggles me every time. Just as well Bosch don't make watches as part of their day job.

    Why pay for software upgrade?

    Can anyone tell me the benefits of software upgrades that they have noticed on Bosch bikes? Specifically with the Intuvia head unit and the performance line motors? Seems like the benefits are marginal at best but I may be wrong here -my bike is only 2 years old but will no doubt be an antique...

    Wow- that is properly amazing! I never knew this service existed although on reflection why the heck not?! Is Jimmy to be found on this forum or do I contact through the website directly? Thanks again guys - I feel enlightened!

    Bosch speed chip and service upgrade

    This is looks really promising but I'm confused as to what I need to do/order/ask for. Lots of different batteries here. How many do I need? Do I fit them myself or send the battery case any to get them fitted by a professional? I'm hoping it's the latter!

    Bosch speed chip and service upgrade

    So in case anyone is interested swapping the batteries did indeed make a difference, more immediate power/torque and predictably more range. I'm now feeling a little shortchanged by Bosch as the 2 year old battery is obviously significantly depleted through weekly use. It hasn't done the...

    Bosch speed chip and service upgrade

    Aha - so it's definitely the battery that is loosing it's power output as well as it's watt hours? If only there was a way to put some life back into the old dog!

    Bosch speed chip and service upgrade

    I can't see why swapping the battery would cause an issue - perhaps worth a try just to see if its the battery and not the software that is making the difference?

    Bosch speed chip and service upgrade

    Has anyone noticed much of a difference in the Bosch updates generally? Is it so subtle that it isn't work the £20 charge for doing so?

    Bosch speed chip and service upgrade

    Aha - so its the battery no the software that makes the new bike feel like a different beast? In that case I may just keep the old bike as is, less fiddling around in the garden losing bolts in the long grass :P

    Bosch speed chip and service upgrade

    Not yet but I'll give it a try. I get the feeling the software update allegedly has increased the torque and battery life of the unit. I'm just hesitant that the speed chip will cause the sirens to go off once the mechanic plugs in the laptop!

    Bosch speed chip and service upgrade

    Hi All I'm sure this will have come up before so apologies if I sound like a stuck record. I have two ebikes one two years older than the other, both Bosch cx performance line motors with 500w batteries. I can't help but notice the newer bike is much more torquey and the battery, depressingly...

    Bosch Battery Rattle

    Is there any way you could post this image of the adjustment again? for some reason it has gone from the post.
