    bosch nyon 2021 release date

    I thought we might be seeing some eBay sales of discounted left-over 8 GB versions of the original Nyon. That is how many of us got our 1 GB Nyons when Bosch upgraded to the 8 GB version. But so far it hasn't happened.

    Comparing Bosch to Shimano

    Well, I love my Bosch powered Gazelle ebike, but I own some Shimano stock, so I hope everyone takes your advice!;)

    bosch nyon 2021 release date

    From the little I have seen of the new Nyon (online, not in person), I think I prefer the larger display of the original Nyon.

    How to choose an electric unicycle

    I haven't seen one of these yet in my area, but I have seen several of the single wheel electric skateboards on the local trails. I would say they were going 15 to 20 MPH. I am not sure if they are legal on sidewalks and trails, but no one seemed to be challenging them.

    OK, I will take a W.A.G. ... some type of aerial observation pointer to something ... maybe a landing strip?

    70 year old rider

    Well, I am 73 (will be 74 next riding season) and I have a Gazelle Arroyo with the torque sensing Bosch mid drive motor and no throttle. My rides are leisure/pleasure rides in the 10 to 15 MPH range that you describe you are looking for. I can tell you I love the way my Gazelle rides and I get...

    New Shimano battery

    I would say the latter is the better approach. It is better to find out right away if the battery is defective in any way in case you need to make a warranty claim. Plus, it is better to store it with a partial charge.

    rail trails across USA

    I should have mentioned that there is about a 25 mile portion of this trail that is packed limestone and still needs to be paved.

    rail trails across USA

    There are several segments in Iowa that are complete, but also many gaps. The segment near me is the Cedar Valley Nature trail. It connects to the Hoover Trail to the south and east, making about a 75 mile segment from Iowa City to Waterloo that is complete.

    Wall Street Bets: The EBR Edition

    I had posted a thread last October about investment in ebike related companies and it didn't generate much comment either. I decided to buy a few shares of Shimano (SMNNY), an unsponsored ADR, just for the fun of watching something that was tied to my interest in ebikes. I have only had it for a...

    Throttle ? Yes or no ?

    I couldn't agree more with this statement ... I wouldn't give up the natural ride of my torque based Bosch motor just to get a throttle. That said, I have been told there are some torque based hub drives with throttles that have a natural feeling ride. I would like to try one some time. The two...

    Dead Kiox?????

    Glad you got your Kiox back in operation with no major failures. Back when the original 1GB Nyons were available on eBay, I bought a second Nyon as a spare just in case the first one fails. So far the only problem I have had with the Nyon is that the plastic trim ring that covers the edge broke...

    Trying to decide which TRIKE to get

    For protecting the trike from the elements, you could use a large gas grill cover. These are available pretty cheap on Amazon. If you can't find a gas grill cover larger enough to fit your trike, you could look at motorcycle covers. You should remove the batteries before you put on the cover...

    Ok: 'Fess up.

    No turkey for me! I can't even stand the smell of it cooking. I learned to hate the damned beasts as a teen when I worked part time on a turkey farm...filthy disgusting animals. Ok ... that is my disclaimer ... I actually wish I liked turkey as it is healthy protein, but because of my distaste...
