Bosch ebike motor reliability

[Kizza]

Plausible deniability I guess.

No proof = no problem.

ktm bikes wont even sell you a sclass bike unless you can prove via land register that you own the land b4 they will even sell one 2 you.

my m8s dad is a millionaire and has his own land id just get him to buy it

A guy at work bought a speed ebike from a high street shop and they didn't tell him the law. He was riding it around London at 30mph for about 2 years not knowing it was illegal. Even wore a motorbike helmet as he said it got a bit scary.

Well here's a story for you.

Brand new Cube Reaction Hybrid ONE 2018 with Bosch Performance CX.

Says it was made 26/10/17 in the papers, bike-discount.de has old stock?

Got to pedal for 5 seconds, then disaster struck:

Returning it on Monday.

Purchased a new bike with Shimano E8000.

Should've read this thread before purchasing.

new bikes come out in oct-nov every year so the 2019 bikes are just round the corner.

if the shop done a pdi check then that would of never been a problem seems some shops are just not bothering and just shifting boxes.

my 2014 bosch bike has never had a problem even with a dongle

And tbf my 'problem' was not the motor in the end. I'd busted a chain ring by thrashing it on Turbo a bit too often.

it can happen if in the wrong gear

Well I learnt a lesson, bought this at my LBS for a smidge more.

Better components than the Cube, and a larger battery.

Most important, support is close and personal.

Blimey.

Does the dongle also halve the recorded mileage/trip distance?

Depends on the dongle, bikespeed rs no, badass bike yes, and there are more variants with different effects.
