    New Bosch Nyon 2020 preview

    I don’t know too much about this, but I’m lead to believe it will make it to the states eventually. Probably in the next year and it will be retrofittable as their other displays are. Sometimes all functions won’t be compatible with older motors like the lock function on the Kiox which isn’t...

    Financing E-Bikes

    Most shops work with Synchrony bank offering 12 month no interest financing and some online shops do this as well. Alternatively you could also get a loan from a credit union for around 4% which is good if you’d like longer terms.

    Rear carrier swap for pannier on 2020 Delite/Superdelite

    No updates yet, but I haven't asked to order it. Tire clearance is a bit tighter but not so much. I think the fixed fender mount could pose a danger under off-road conditions if a rock gets stuck between the tire and fender. I would recommend making a request with your dealer and having them...

    Bosch Gen 4 tuning

    The motor doesn’t need to be connected to the diagnostics software in order for the motor performance to be impacted. New motors will potentially go into limp mode and older motors will just be flagged for any warranty claims.

    Panasonic is one of the first in the US to clear the new E-bike safety standards and achieve UL certification

    Thanks for the clarity Ravi. This is helpful. I know this was in process but I guess it just launched. I wonder if companies will do it. I think it could make sense for some, but if the ebike system is already UL I wouldn’t foresee the bike manufacturer going for it.

    Panasonic is one of the first in the US to clear the new E-bike safety standards and achieve UL certification

    I don’t understand why they are boasting that they are the first. Bosch has been getting UL certified since 2014. It’s great that Panasonic is doing it and hopefully more seriously entering the market, but I think stating they are the first with UL is dishonest.

    Haibike 2020 models

    I believe the 2020 Haibikes will all be Yamaha and we might see the Bosch ones late 2020 or early 2021. No word on if and when we will se Flyon at the moment.

    Bosch SmartphoneHub

    Have you considered getting the iPhone case to charge your phone on the bike. Alternatively you could also get a micro-USB to lightning cable to charge.

    2019 Supercharger battery issue

    This is the way the Bosch system works or at least the way the latest software works. Discharging happens 5% per battery and switches back and forth to attempt to keep them even, whereas charging is completed one battery at a time. I was also confused by this, but this is the way it’s designed...

    Load 60 2020 hs lacks power?

    Just one point of clarity. All CX, Speed and Performance Line Motors in the US have been Gen 2 (small chainring) until the Gen 4 motors were introduced for the 2020 Model Year (larger chainring, smaller magnesium casing) . Gen 3 was initially just the Active and Active Plus and now will have the...

    Load 60 2020 hs lacks power?

    I would highly recommend you test a Gen 4 speed motor. I think you will he impressed with the results. The motor mentioned in the top of this thread is the cargo motor designed to carry heavy loads. Dealers have been advised to discuss this with customers as most will prefer the standard...

    Load 60 2020 hs lacks power?

    That’s exactly right. It’s overall more sporty but the assist level is lowered to 340% in the top assist. Unless you’re hauling very heavy loads the cargo line programming isn’t so ideal from my perspective.

    Video: Gazelle Ultimate t10 Review

    I think it performs well. Probably not great for off-roading or really rough roads, but it smooths out most bumps really well. It's a bit beefier than their previous version.

    Not coming for 2020 at this time. Not sure what the future holds. I spoke with the product designers and told them we need it!

    Video: Gazelle Ultimate t10 Review

    The Cityzen is a speed bike, but this is 20mph, a little lighter and I believe they improved the fork. It's also a true low step.

    Bosch SmartphoneHub

    Recent updates suggest February. This will work with all bikes except E-Shift ones provided you can physically mount it.

    Load 60 2020 hs lacks power?

    Anders, just ask your dealer to reprogram the motor to the non-cargo line version. It will make a world of difference.
