    What mods have you done to lighten your Ebike

    Went on a diet! My Felt Sport-e originally weighed ~45lbs, which isn't all that heavy for an E-bike. One reason why chose it.

    Bosch Speed Performance system shuts down mid ride.

    By now I hope your issues have been rectified. If not, the only solution that fixed my problem (same as yours) was stated 3 replies above. The latest MOUNT for the Intuvia display. Changing the display didn't help. The mount was the issue. Been perfect for six months now. Good luck.

    The Ultimate Mid-Drive Chain Care Thread

    Yes for a few years now. Dirt free chains after many rides. Just wipe them down if you need to but only minor dirt will adhere to them. Not a major process and you can do at least two in the same time it takes for one.

    What do I need for my new bike?

    Hi Stefan, I'm using CO2 cartridges for my emergency air supply. My bike bag is too small to fit a minipump, however, the gauge on my Lezyne pump at home is most certainly a convenience.

    Bosch computer problems

    If your problem doesn't resolve itself confirm with bosch that you have the latest intuvia MOUNT. I had a cut off problem for two years and bosch resolved the issue by replacing with a mount that has 3 gold pins on the left and a silver, gold, gold, silver pin configuration on the right...

    Limitless number of Arrow ebikes used as delivery vehicles around the five boroughs. RADs probably come in second but I usually see 2 or 3 of various manufacturers on my daily "bike path" ride.
