The tamper detect SW see extract same number of wheel revolutions as crank revolutions. After 5 minutes decides this is more than coincidence and flags error. Your 2 magnets maybe giving 2 pulses, which fools tamper detect SW. I had speed of 10kmh, my pedal cadence. If yours is closer to 20kmh...

Spare powerpacks are also lot easier to carry in backpacks, panniers and frame bags. I like cable routing on my 2018 PF 7, remove battery and all the cables are accessible. Not sure about mud and dirt getting into battery compartment especially when MTBing in mud. The plastic cover on battery is...

Crossfire is samsung hub drive with interminttent battery connection. Crossfuse uses reliable Bosch Activeline Plus middrive motor. They should have called Crossfuse something else easy to get bikes mixed up. Wonder how many sales they've lost because someone thought it was Crossfire.

The 8 is better option. Better shocks and more travel, suspension is most important thing on FS MTB. There is no upgrading aftermarket due to cost. Has dropper post, must offroad riding. Can be added latter on 5 but not cheap. While deore brakes on 8 a good reliable brakes they are at lower end...

They say 60% of capacity after 500cycles. I think is full cycles from nearly empty not partial charges. Power delivery is definitely better on first 1/2 of charge so I'm not surprised an old battery doesn't have same performance.

Tried that on Shimano Steps, gives error after a few minutes. Bosch Gen2 motors are also meant to give error, surprised Gen3 motor doesn't..

Ideally for short local trips, you will need a pannier or two for shopping trips. Don't forget lights.

For similar money you could get HT MTB with 100-120mm air fork. Add rack, mudguards, stand and you have capable commuter/tourer that can still handle offroad riding.

Excellent offroad tyre combination. For seal and dry dirt only Almotion run it tubeless, get larger 2.25-2.35 tyres. I run these on rear and light offroad tyre eg Smartsam on front, little more forgiving on loose or occasion mud surface. Smartsam front and rear for general purpose all weather...

Not much in it between Race and Pro versions. An upgrade to airfork on Race is definitely big plus. Not much in it between 11spd and 10spd, both good derailluers and11-42t cassette on 10spd is more than enough for most commuters. With commuting you will find yourself riding alot around 25kmh...

There are two battery types, for generation 1 motors ie classic which is 2011-2013. The latest powerpack 300, 400 and 500wh for generation 2 & 3 motors, activeline and performance line. What year is your bike and motor does it have?

Intuvia is charged by bike battery, when on bike.

I'm same situation as you with wifes 400wh battery and my 500wh. I try to use 400wh for commutes and save 500wh for big rides. This minimises wear (capacity reduction) on 500wh. When doing long rids together, rotate batteries during ride. You don't want wifes to go flat as she won't be the one...

Battery capacity (C) is stated as their one hour capacity. For example 12V 10Ahr gelcell would have capacity of 12Vx10Ahr = 120WHr. In theory deliver 10A for 1 hour. In case of gelcells that capacity is based on their 1/10C (1A in this case) discharge rate over 10hours. If you discharge a...

A detailed description of fault would be good start.

Who is going to pay for shop to carry service spares?. Typical one week for replacement motor isn't bad. No replacement for low capacity new battery isn't acceptable. Especially at premium prices bosch charge for their batteries.

The E6000 we had was reliable no problems in 5000kms till sold to friend, maybe upto 7000kms now. Compared Bosch CX wasn't any noisier. Compared to current generation 2 Activeline the E6000 is superior climber and eco mode is more useful. Lumpier in High mode and sharp cutoff at 25kmh is...

If you what to maximise your cassette life , change chain at 0.75 wear mark. There are two schools of thought replace regularly at 0.75 mark or run whole drive train until something stops working. Not sure which is cheaper, but once chain is too worn, plan B is your only option.

If chain is stretched that much you should be looking at replacing it.

Charge battery between rides as it will climb lot better when fully charged.
