Hi MadProphet. I originally submitted the question to Bosch in Germany and received no reply. On 08/21/18 I sent the question to the Bosch US website. So far no reply, but I will keep you posted. I have put 890 miles on the SC +7 since early July, 2018 and have no complaints. I would still...

Thanks for pointing out that my SC +7 may have an 18t stock chainring. That may be a new spec as the price is now shown at $3,899 vs. $3,699 as well. I will check mine to confirm what I have before making the change. If my SC +7 has an 18t, I may need to go to a 20t to get the desired result...

I went ahead and sent the "potential error messages caused by changing the sprocket (chainring)" question directly to Bosch from the contact section of their website. I will post their response. Thanks again.

I was thinking about this and wondered if a similar error might occur if the cogset were replaced with a cogset with different cogs/ratios?

Hi Chriskmee. Thank you for the heads up, I haven't made the change yet. I will research this further before I do.

I found this link to the 2017 Trek Super Commuter 8S Owner's Manual: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) Maybe some useful information could be found there. Hopefully Trek will release a 2018 Owner's Manual for the Super Commuter +7.

Do you think what you are feeling is the pedal assist kicking in when you resume pedaling after coasting? As soon as you stop pedaling, the pedal assist stops as well. When you resume pedaling, there is a slight lag before the motor resumes and pedal assist kicks in.

Hi All: For those who might have an interest. I think I may have figured out the simplest way to achieve the 80+- rpm cadence at 19.5+- mph in "Tour" mode (which I primarily use on my daily 15 mile each way commute). I measured my cadence and speed while riding at a constant 19.5+- mph on a...

Hi All: Eliot, I've now logged about 600 miles on the SC +7 and the only auto-shifting I have noticed is a rare occasional miss-shift? Maybe your derailleur needs adjustment? Also, backing off on the pedals when shifting may make shifting smoother.

Hi Eliot. It is a bit more expensive, but I decided to add a suspension seatpost, then see if the original saddle seemed comfortable. The Kinect BodyFloat 2.1 is all that was needed and the original saddle seems fine now. Maybe in part because I have been riding a lot more lately?

Hi Eliot3b4. You've hit a couple of the weak spots, I agree that an owner's manual would be nice, but I am not surprised it wasn't included. The battery charge cap is not well designed. While riding the other day, I saw that I had left mine open, so I reached down with my left hand to close...

Hi Jim: It sounds like there are a lot of similarities in our riding histories. I live in Nor. Cal and was a pretty avid mtb'er and road bike rider as well. Headed up and rode the Flume Trail MTB (25 mile) ride for about 15 years straight up (with a group of as many as 20 riders) until about...

Hi Jim: My wife loves her new Electra Townie Commute 8i. We have been riding together for the past 12 years on carbon fiber road bikes, with the associated clothing, clipless pedals and etc.. For the past several years she would dread climbing the 12% grade hill leading up to our home from...

I purchased a Trek SC +7 in early July 2018 from Trek Midtown Sacramento. I wanted to give a shoutout to them, and to my salesman Ples. Since I also purchased an Electra Townie Commute 8i for my wife at the same time, they gave us a fantastic deal on both bikes. I have a 15 mile each way...
