    Bosch Smartphone Hub & iPhone 11 Locking

    here is a photo with the quad lock on the handle bar...I think so far this is the best option I have found being that I have the iPhone 11Max... the phone sits perfectly in my view to use the navigation or see my speed or anything I need to look at... only downfall is now I need a long enough...

    Trek w/Bosch Smartphone hub lighting question

    I’ve noticed on my 8S that it does it randomly.... I recently got the update and can now turn it on and off.... when I ride the trails I normally turn off the lights and when I ride on the streets I turn it on.. I have tried to look throughout the bike for a day time sensor but I haven’t found...

    Help with bike choice

    I went from testing out the Verve+3 and then the Allant+7S, and ended up buying the Allant+8S.... they all ride differently but the 8S won me over. like any bike i think you have to adjust everything to your likes. Change the seat post, Saddle, Pedals Etc.

    Hello from Northern California

    they are great pedals, i use the 5MM outside and the 3MM on the inside part of the pedal. I got them from Bikeshoes.com as they had 12% off... I was a bit skeptical on the Seat post but after putting 200 miles on it I am amazed on how well it works.

    Bosch update test

    Are you still using the stock tires? i think they are Schwabe G one? was thinking of getting the Marathon E-Plus in a couple hundred miles and not sure how much off road/gravel i can do with them.

    Bosch update test

    Just got my update done this afternoon, I am able to turn off and on the light now by holding the + button for 2-3 seconds. I do notice the big difference in the 85NM vs the 75NM i dont have to apply much pressure to get the motor going from the stopped position. I opted to keep Sport mode as i...

    Hello from Northern California

    hey will post some pictures in the next few days, I can definitely say upgrade to a suspension seat post will help out. Was thinking of changing the saddle sometime down the road. Might also want to consider changing the pedals out occasionally my foot would slide off the satellite pedals but it...

    Bosch update test

    did you have to ask for the EMTB mode or is this automatic? I only ask to so i know to be prepared what to ask for when i take the bike in. I called a few LBS in my area and none of them knew about the update....

    Allant+ 7S & Other Treks with Integrated Batteries

    thank you for checking in on that. I guess the Styrofoam would sorta rub off and get into the cracks of the bike. I don't travel with the bike on the rack to often maybe just 1-2 times a month when the weather conditions permit. I think for now maybe i will settle for the contact pin cover to...

    Allant+ 7S & Other Treks with Integrated Batteries

    doh Ive got the Allant 8S, didnt think about the sizing of that downtube cover. Definitely agree with you that they could capitalize on a opportunity. Ive looked up a few options and only thing i can think of is the Styrofoam and cut it to fit the gap or even go to a fabric store to see if they...

    Allant+ 7S & Other Treks with Integrated Batteries

    Good Call on that part, just looked up downtube battery cover and the Fahrer cover comes up. I think a few people have used the Fahrer cover as well in the forum. I think this would be good for transportation maybe? but it might slide up and down or even off at higher speeds? but as for leaving...

    Bosch Smartphone Hub & iPhone 11 Locking

    Hi Everyone, I have a Trek Allant+ 8S and the Iphone 11 Pro Max. The phone fits in the smartphone hub, but the second i hit a pot hole or uneven pavement the phone did fly out thankfully it was saved by the charging cable. I no longer use the smartphone hub, I flipped it upside down so the...
