Thanks both of you. I didn't realise the Gen 1 never was offered in the US. :) The Gen 2 were announced in August 2012 and if it true what Bosch declared earlier, that they will provide support for systems minimum for 7 years after production is dropped, then the Gen 1 systems have passed this 7...

Has Bosch finally dropped the support for the Gen 1 systems? Local bike shop told a customer with a Scott E-Venture 2012 that they can no longer do diagnostics or maintenance on the Bosch system. @Chris Nolte might know?

Bosch now officially sells a Kiox retrofit kit for all almost all Gen 2/3/4 motors (see list on the linked page). Anyone done this? I am tempeted with my 1:st generation Supercharger with Performance Speed Gen 2 motor. Unsure how difficult it is to thread the new cable through the frame...

Austrian manufacturer PowUnity has one. Although it comes with a data plan that's valid for whole of European union, so I don't know if it fits you (where are you located?). https://powunity.com/produkt/gps-tracker-bosch-e-bike

The AirTag seems quite worthless for tracking of anything if it relies on other users phones to work. And if the thieves have iPhones they'll get a popup saying "Hey there's a stolen bike nearby you that another user is looking for", I have no doubt the AirTag is located and removed within 2...

Sad to say we did not have more than 4 days out of the last 60 with freezing temperatures, so most of the days I've ridden on paved roads did not need studded tires. I wonder how many km the studs will last? If next winter will be as warm as this one, I have no use of the studded tires.

I was dead sure the Nyon was a product being pahsed out since the introduction of the COBI related systems. But not so.. Bosch made a teaser for a new Nyon to be released later in 2020.

I have now about 9200 km (5600 miles) on my Gen 2 Bosch Performance Speed and it's working flawlessly.

For my gen. 1 Supercharger I ordered a Abus 5750L frame lock (keyed alike the Bordo 6000 and battery locks already on the bike) and a mount plate from Riese & Müller. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) Maybe they have something like that for the Supercharger2 as well? I opted for the chain as...

After about 900 km (560 miles) they ride more or less the same as the original Rock Razors. Although still very noisy..

I gave the bike a good cleanup yesterday, it was practically mud brown from the last two rainy months on partly gravel roads. At the same time I slapped on the Ice Spiker Pro tires. They fit well and ride quite ok, a bit more tracking than my Super Moto-X but I guess I'll get used to it. And...

Not only clean, but workers get a real salary, benefits and security.

Any recommendations on studded tires for a Supercharger? The original Rock Razors (57-584) are now replaced for Super Moto-X 62-584. But winter is coming and thus icy roads. I'm riding daily 64 km mostly on paved roads. I don't expect a lot of snow, but temperatures can be around freezing so...

I was convinced my batteries were degarding (R&M Supercharger GX Rohloff HS dual battery) after about 1 year and 6000 km. When the bike was brand new I got about 85-90 km with fully charged batteries. Today I barely get 70 km out of them some days. When thinking about it though, I concluded it...

What a fantastic presentation. For those of us already interested in the old Load it really highlights the differencens. I know the Load 75 is a big bike. How hard, would you (@Chris Nolte ) say it is to pedal at higher speeds compared to a Supercharger? I have the Supercharger HS Rohloff and...
