There were short discussion here, however didn't see any owner to share the feedback here yet...

Mine get noisier as soon as most of oil leaks, which happens withing few weeks after each refill. How long ago did you refill yours? Do you have any leaks from hub?

Well, I try to do a regular checks for basic things every couple of weeks (or every 10 rides) - takes only a minute or two, but allows to spot things like broken spoke or wear out brake pad and top up air in the tires. Consider this a routine service, vs. more serious one, where I change an oil...

Interesting. I replaced mine several times already and didn't notice clear pattern when do to this - their state depends a lot about how much I ride, where do I ride and, most important, how many rainy rides I am doing. Usually I just check them every couple of weeks and replace as necessary.

What about them? Just replace as necessary. They don't need much attention, comparing to chain and cassette.

Or you can just use belt and forget about all these issues :cool:

Sad news. I was following their Valeo-based bikes, since they were supposed to be first in US with integrated hub+motor setup. Also, 2kW battery setup was unique as well. Now will have to wait what dual-batteries options will Bosch-powered bikes offer by next riding season - they definitely...

Ask your friend. Previous-gen Bosch motors used by C380+ doesn't have user-updateable firmware and requires Bosch-authorized dealer with special software to do that. If your friend happen to have one, he should know the changelog as well.

This monster with its weight, power and speed should also be ridden in streets only. Hope you are not thinking riding it on sidewalks and bike lines.

If you see my vehicle was able to use it, so I presume I am in right to take it for 2 hours as instructed by the charger rules. I don't see why someone of Tesla should have priority over me to use it if I am in need to top up my battery and there are no regular power plugs around. I have a good...

Consider Priority Current as well, especially if you can find it locally in your Costco - great ebike for reasonable price.

Might not be possible due to the rear hub mounting design - I bet I saw a topic on this forum when somebody tried to retrofit the Automatiq to the C380 or C380+ and found out this won't work because eshifter can't be mounted to the frame... If only Kindernay was still alive I would totally...

Did you get your bike? I don't see any fresh reviews from actual owners in youtube and thus makes me sad - looks like either it is not there or availabklity is very limited...

Don't agree with you here, sorry: Shimano 5 is 263% range and Enviolo is 380% - the difference is not "slightly" here for sure. Regarding the insufficient range - might be true, my current Kindernay VII hub has 428% range and it is more the sufficient for my needs, I and VII gears are rarely...

You need long hours to charge it to 100%, but charging goes faster on lower battery level. I think to get from 20% to 60% you need like 2 hours or so on my bike, which is pretty good - can be combined with rest/food break if the infra is present.
