Hey guys, I’d like to share a few thoughts on my experience at the Bosch press event for the new 2020 motors that wasn’t covered in the video. If you haven't seen it yet, here's the event video: and the ABS video: Some thoughts: The first thing I thought was, why so many motors? Bosch is...

I really liked both of those drive systems, they felt nice and heavy, good for high speed. Both of them had pedal charging capabilities. That seems more telling to me than both of them being hub motors.

Glad to see things have changed.

Data, of some kind. Reporting amps, temperature, voltage, something of that nature. It could be an optional port for the Di2 to utilize, but that wouldn't follow Shimano's tight design in other areas.

Part Six: Part Seven: My favorite part in the series was at the 4:00 mark of video 7. Rehearsing the many stages of testing their products go through.

The 2019 Gazelle CityZen goes 28mph. Decked out as a commuter as well. Older ones only assisted to 20mph

Part three: Part Four: Part Five:

BRRRRRRAH!

Hey guys, I saved the best for last, Bafang motors factory tour! We made time to sneak this in before leaving the country, and I'm very glad it worked out. Some personal notes I didn’t get to discuss in the video: I was astonished at the amount of testing that they perform during production...

You may have caught a glimpse of BTN's great proximity and connection: RPE Battery repair under the same roof. Here's an interview from the trip:
