LOL. Thank you for being so keen to help. I will report back in a week or so. Thank you very much.

It's okay, I think I have a plan for now. I'll come back in a week or so to report on progress. Thanks!

Thanks, yes I have actually done all that. It took me a really long time to get used to the bike even without the battery. The belt drive is so quiet and smooth and the bike is so heavy that it feels radically different even without any assist at all. I got to the point in this last week where I...

Thank you that's really helpful. I did wonder about an ebike with derailleur gears. I think I ended up with hub gears because I like the very upright sitting position of the Gazelles, and they are all hub gears. I didn't know that that was what Eco+ did. I will try it. Thanks for that. Do...

Thank you very much, that is really extremely helpful. I understand about higher top speed and shorter acceleration time, because I used to commute down the M11 in a 1L Ford Fiesta. That was really quite unsafe feeling, because lorries used to just pull to the left even when I was in the lane...

Thank you very much for trying to help, but none of what you say is actually what's going on with me. I am not going above 8mph and when I am going along at that high speed, wtih acceleration turned off, there is no lurching at all. The lurching only happens when I have acceleration turn up to...

Do you think this might be about right? I asked a family member. Torque is how hard the motor can push. Power is how fast the motor draws energy from the battery to drive itself. In mechanics, we figure out the power by multiplying torque by speed. So if I put torque and power really high...

The meaning of torque and power is very vaguely explained isn't it? I think I am going to need to figure out exactly what they mean by that.

I just found this useful page explaining how the adjustment works. I think I am going to need to figure that all out. https://help.bosch-ebike.com/au/help-center/asset-ast-00278

Thank for your advice on this. I just went out and tried really hard to get it right. I swapped out the modes so I now have eco, tour, sport and turbo. I turned the acceleration control (I think it's called dynamics) right down to -5 on all but eco. That is the lowest setting. I turned...

Thanks, I'll think about that. Everyone else seems to recommend downshifting, but then I end up pedalling at a frantic speed as though I was on a clown bike. It's just feels really odd. I'm really not enjoying doing tests, because every time I try the bike I end up with my head spinning for...

I am also slightly thinking of selling the bike on, because I'm just not sure that I am going to be able to get use to the feeling of the motor driving it. I spent £3000 on the bike. I wondered - do you think I could spend that kind of money on a really light weight manual bike so that I could...

Thank you very much for all these helpful replies. My dealer suggested the same, but I'm find that even in tour mode, the lurching is too much for my balance. I wondered if you might know what I need to do to the tour mode in the control app to make it identical to Eco mode? I was thinking...

Hi, I have just bought a Gazelle Ultimate C5. It has the performance line system and bosch smart system. I have an Intuvia 100 computer, remote control and the flow app. https://www.gazellebikes.com/en-gb/ebikes/ultimate-c5-hmb I really like cycling in Eco mode, but if I move to any mode...
