Thanks for the clarification

Sorry, memory issues, getting old :-)

Ok, next Q, for Bosch owners, riders, how many of you who were buying a new or upgraded bike would buy Bosch again? Or would you buy a different brand?

For existing Bosch owners, riders, how much does skill play a part in smoothness? Is there any significant changes, improvements from say a basic 2015 model to the latest 2016/17 CX?

Watching videos of bikes using throttles going uphill with crank drive, why am I hearing multiple clunks and clicks, whereas a the hub bike on the same hill is pretty smooth and quiet. Listen at about three quarters into this short video.

Try this one?

Thats good feedback, thank you RobF

No Artstu, I haven't but I wouldn't buy any machine that doesn't support a throttle and is propietarily inhibited but others may. I can however see and ascertain from countless videos that they seem to be suited to more challenging terrain. From the OP post, I agree, we need to wait for the...

Hi Steve, that franks my thoughts and feedback, personally I wouldn't use the bosch nor probably yamaha or shimano.

also mostly using throttle I prefer 26 inch wheels easier to get feet on d ground. Im with you in Yamaha

With bafang 250w cd hub 42t crank, 7 speed on the back never see the need to move it out of 2nd and 3rd gear.

Well I hope the OP solves her problem but as Leigh Ping has said for road running a front or rear hub with a throttle maybe a wiser choice for anyone thinking of buying in the near future. Im no expert but I've watched dozens of videos and have noticed lots of clunking on crank drive motors...

Thanks for that

Nice one

You would hardly know they were electric bikes.

Nice looking bikes Steve, did u do the conversions yourself?

Im 61 and also a leisure cyclist, biggest hill im likely to encounter is a sleeping policeman :-) Out of the ezee and the big bear, which motor would you say was more powerful in terms of speed and hill climbing? Thanks, Andy

Now its getting interesting, what bike have you got the 750w crank drive on Steve? Im 18st no? Idea of the OP weight has about you Steve?

Not knocking cyclotricity they are very powerful motors but being direct drive you may find a geared hub more fit for purpose.
