    Bosch Nyon '21 Q/A & Top Tips

    The Nyon works independent of your phone so you don’t need your phone with you at all to use all of its functions. You can use the eBike Connect app to plan a route and then it is transferred to the Nyon or just plan in directly on the Nyon. You can also use the web based eBike-connect.com to...

    Dutch bike lock

    It sounds like your idea with the cable would be almost as effective as the plugin. I guess if they manage to force open the frame lock the plugin cable/chain would still need to be overcome whereas it if is just threaded through then that would be released as well. Most of the frame lock...

    Dutch bike lock

    It’s easy to take off then, most are attached to the frame with two bolts. It’s a good lock if you are just stopping for a rest or at a cafe/bar with the bike in sight. Any thieves would have to carry the bike and even I could run faster then them In that scenario. Pranksters can’t lock it...

    Nyon or Kiox retrofit?

    Glad you got it fitted easily. That weekend job turned out to be a mid-week job. I guess you couldn’t wait until the weekend to get it installed. :) Interesting that you say it is responsive, I find mine is quite sluggish at times and sometimes doesn’t respond to a touch and I have to do it...

    Nyon or Kiox retrofit?

    Mines a Cube so not the same but by the pictures it looks like it could be quite an easy job. Probably get it done in 10 minutes ;)

    Do any bike manufacturers provide for accessories to plug in?

    Exactly what I do at the moment. I just thought somebody must have thought of it but obviously not.

    Do any bike manufacturers provide for accessories to plug in?

    Mine's a Bosch so not much chance of hacking it about but I agree it could be done quite easily with a kit I would think.

    Do any bike manufacturers provide for accessories to plug in?

    Yes the Bosch Kiox display has a charging port for your phone but that's all it can handle. I was thinking more of a socket on the battery or motor that you could power higher wattage accessories. It would certainly be handy for topping up tyre pressure or inflating a tyre after a puncture on a...

    Do any bike manufacturers provide for accessories to plug in?

    With a readily available source of power on an eBike I would have thought manufacturers would provide some way of powering accessories. I’m thinking of something like an electric tyre pump. I suppose you could even go as far as a small kettle to make a drink on the go. Most of my rides are...

    Bike Lock Recommendations

    I use a Kryptonite frame lock with plugin chain which takes care of the rear wheel and attaching the bike to a bike rack, post or something, a disc lock alarm on the front wheel and a rear light/alarm The frame lock is a nice quick and easy lock when just stopping for a rest with the bike in...

    Tredz Nearly New Sale

    Some good savings there. Wish I had waited a couple of weeks. The only thing I didn’t like about Tredz is they wouldn’t let me take a bike out for a test ride. When you’re spending more than £6k you expect to at least be able to try it.

    Any interest in an eBike charging directory?

    I am pretty new to eBiking, only having bought one and switched from a traditional bike a couple of weeks ago. I became aware recently that there was an attempt about 10 years ago by some members to create a website called CycleCharge to be a directory for businesses such as pubs, cafes...

    Electric Tour! charging stops needed....can you help?

    That’s a shame it didn’t take off. As you say, probably a bit too early. I notice that the website is no longer there so I assume they have abandoned it. I didn’t know about those charge point adapters. Interesting. Although as an electric car owner I would be pretty annoyed if I found a bike...

    Electric Tour! charging stops needed....can you help?

    Sorry, nowhere near your route but it brought to mind what a great addition to Komoot it would be to be able to find friendly recharging stops on a route. If you have an electric car you most likely use Zap-Map and that has the ability for individuals with charging points to put their details on...
