    Your experiences with the new Mahle MySmartBike app (replacement for Ebikemotion)

    The automatic ride adjustment still hasn't been implemented and I don't know why it would be useful. The settings feel like Level 1 is about 3-%, level 2 is about 60% and level 3 is 100%.

    Scott e-RIDE Addict 30 and the world of easier hills

    I looked at the Scott 2023 line up on you tube and didn’t see anything that looked like a gravel bike.

    Yes, there are a pair of cables nestling under the plastic cap.

    Scott e-RIDE Addict 30 and the world of easier hills

    Well…don’t do what I did. I only wanted my Genesis serviced and struck up a conversation about the Mahle X20 with the staff. “We got one,” he said. It was nearly twice as much as the maximum I intended to pay for an electric road bike. I took it for a spin round the block and was hooked...

    Scott e-RIDE Addict 30 and the world of easier hills

    Hi Jack Everything is fine apart from an annoying rattle which was cured when the bike went in for its 100 mile check over but is coming back again on rougher surfaces after a further 350 miles. Mahle sent my dealer a package which consisted of a new battery and some other bits and bobs, In the...

    Your experiences with the new Mahle MySmartBike app (replacement for Ebikemotion)

    I've persevered with this app and it now works well following the firmware update from Mahle, available on their website for the X20 system. I dont use it though. It drained my iPhone completely after a 30 mile ride and told me nothing that my Garmin Edge 580 didn't tell me. Definitely not...

    Mahle X20 firmware update

    Are they a wee bit secretive at Mahle? They have quietly posted firmware updates for the X20 system and for the X20 charger on their website. They are BIN files which my iMac could not make any sense of but when I downloaded them onto my iPad the zipped files were expanded instantly. So I...

    Your experiences with the new Mahle MySmartBike app (replacement for Ebikemotion)

    The Mahle smart bike app on my iPhone 13pro has switched off the x20 motor three times now on rides, twice when on a steep hill. The bike is faultless as long as the app isn’t connected. I can’t be bothered playing about with it any more.

    Scott e-RIDE Addict 30 and the world of easier hills

    Arragons set the bike up for me and it is very comfortable. The handlebars are a little higher than my other bikes and the bottom bracket is a touch further back. So it doesn't feel like a racing position to me. At my age I want comfort and enjoyment, not speed and stress!

    Scott e-RIDE Addict 30 and the world of easier hills

    They are a bit good these ebikes aren't they? The Genesis Equilibrium and the Look 566 eye up the new kid in my garage suspiciously. They are intimidated by its abilities, whereas I am intimidated by the humungous credit card bill coming down the line. I tried a nearly new Bianchi E-Impulso...
