Thank you for your compliment Barrio. I know what you mean about the grease! I have just taken delivery of the new stuff and was very upset with the size of the tubes. If I find out what it is? I will see about getting larger quantities ;)

I did a little video too

Good Question? People definitely don't want to pay top dollar because the motor is programmed for the bike it was originally fitted to. Not that it won't work, but it will have the original bikes wheel size and name. The wheel size can be offset by a Nyon controller but no others. I guess you...

Hi Jason, If the outer cover is stuck or jammed, you can set up a puller as shown in the photo. (Obviously remove the cover screws and crankshaft circlip first) Once the main motor bearing is noisy, it is destroying itself. When it collapses the ball bearings come out the bearing and start...

Yeah, I got that! :D

Is that not like saying, if you drive faster in your car you'll get there quicker and therefore use less fuel!? As Danidl said, no such thing as a free ride. :(

I think you have answered your own question in your post. My argument was: When de-restricted, you only use higher motor speed (over 15mph for relatively short periods of time, in relation to the amount of time spent above 15mph, so although there would be wear, it would be relative. If you...

Also, seals add friction, friction sucks battery juice :)

You are mistaking electrical power with torque, you will use more battery because you are still being assisted past 15mph but the motor is not putting more stress through the components.

Should have said 300% just changed it:)

I understand your thinking but lets say you have a Bosch CX, it can only ever give you 300% of assistance, whether you are traveling at 15mph or 30mph, all the extra power is being supplied by you. In fact, there is an argument here that a dongle could save wear and tear because to exceed 15mph...

Technically, having a dongle should make no difference what so ever. You are not tuning or putting more force through the motor you are only making things turn a little faster for, generally, short periods of time. The Bosch motor is sold to many countries, de-restricted. It is designed to run...

I thought anyone running a Bosch motor may find this interesting? I have loaded this as a pdf because there are several large photographs showing wear and tear shots from a Bosch Performance Line motor after 20,000 kilometres. What we found was fairly definitive proof of how far one of these...

It is purely the seals letting water in. You could use the best grease in the world, but it won't help much if water is present!

Performance Line Bearings is a second company for me and is trading under Trad Solutions Ltd. As such, has full supplier and third party liability insurance. It was only started to help people who Bosch wouldn't. Work carried out for trade customers is covered by a 3 month guarantee (generally...

Bosch are definitely not encouraging people to work on their own motors, this will be dealers only. As for NZ agent yet. Yes, http://www.bikemarlborough.co.nz have placed an order for several kits and bits. We are just finalizing the paperwork and will be sending them stock shortly. :)

Don't get me wrong here, if you are familiar with my posts I am normally the one who has normally defended Bosch and their engineering quality etc. I am also please that they are stepping up to the plate with this solution and at an unbelievably cheap price too! However, there are a few issues...

Have to agree, I would not want sand or grit getting behind that thing, apart from the sound, it looks like it would make short work of eating through your motor cover!

Any shop selling seals, as far as I know, are doing the same as me. But, if you shift the numbers that the e-bikeshop shifts you can afford to sell them a penny cheaper :)

Thank you for your kind words bikey850. Sadly, I have to buy the Bosch grease it's the only way I can get the seals for people :( Bosch don't sell them separately :mad:
