Nice one signwave!

There you go Izzy, Phill's rights are protected and, perhaps more importantly in the long term, he retains a great relationship with his dealer.

Can't go wrong with "Speak softly and carry a big stick"

The one with the loudest voice usually wins the argument!

Regrettably, that's often true.

The quote came from an American president who had access to the biggest stick in the world - which everyone knew - so it worked for him.

In my case if an argument/difference of opinion becomes heated and voices are raised aggressively I back down and walk away..

A friend of mine works in a hospital.

She told me the patient who complains the loudest gets the most prompt attention.

The patient who is, er, patient, and understanding of the difficulties faced by health service staff is made to wait.

Your argument will be won on facts. Not on a personal, confrontational level.
I'd like them to define 'UK Spec', which is what they sold it 'as described'.

To me, as a layman, I would take that to mean 'MPH' on the display that they sold to me. That is a UK spec in my eyes. The display that they stated could be changed from KPH to MPH, and that they would sort out that issue 'next week'.

There'll be no need for upset from either party really. They promised to fix it, on the day of sale..

Sorry, I had wandered off topic slightly..

The BH Neo Xtrem only had kph, so I guess that the rest of the BH range was the same.

I can't say that it ever bothered me, but then again the bike had bigger issues to be concerned about.

My first generation AVE/Bosch bike is km only - it has the small display next to the left hand handlebar grip.

Quite neat in other respects, and I see Bosch has reintroduced it for 2017, although the new one will presumably show miles or kms.

I find speedo and display a bit of distraction, considering covering it up as I spend more time looking at display than view.

I think it's a bit like being served wine in the wrong glass, some are bothered and some not.

Yeah, never drink wine from a plastic cup!

I am thinking hard about my ideal dashboard:

Around town - none, a watt meter in the battery box so I know how much is left in the tank is all that is needed

Out and about - volts, Wh left, time, slope%, distance and average speed are useful with the first two being essential.

 

[Gubbins]

Because the yamaha motor is so quiet I keep an eye on the speed so that I know how far over the cutoff I am. On the bosch mtb one doesn't need to look..

I'll bet it hurts more though!

If you dongle your bike then the speed is halved and you can pretend that that's now mph

Confirmation from my retailer also - kph and no fix now or in the pipeline.

This issue aside - absolutely loving the bike - and making plans to get it setup for those dark winter journeys - wiring in lights etc - but that's a topic for another post . . . . . . .

Will they reimburse you in any way?

What lights will you be using? How are you 'wiring them in'?

Mine has a "Light" button so presumably there a connection somewhere.. Personally I dont like wired in lights especially when there's so many good lights out there..

 

[LeighPing]

I use this. But I need some 'peripheral lighting' come the winter dark.

I use this on my dog.
