Hi guys, last year I visited Gazelle in Santa Cruz California to review their Arroyo C7 HMB Elite and Arroyo C8 HMB Elite models. The company has been expanding a lot into North America and they were working on this Experience Center / Demo Facility but it wasn't open yet. Well, today I got the...

Welcome @bigb and thanks for being here. My goal has always been to create a friendly space with limited ads and enough moderation that it doesn't get out of control. Ebikes are great, it's a fun community of good people here :D

Nice @PedalUma! That chili looks yum! I used to get some that looked like yours in Albuquerque New Mexico when driving through to California. You're making me hungry :D

Hey @Uuzd4S I just saw your post... and I don't have tools to help you :( I think what @Tom@WashDC and @fooferdoggie said is right on. I've lost drafts myself, and I try to copy/paste to a text document if it's super long. I'm sorry that you might have lost your work and that I don't have a way...

Very cool looking bikes! Interesting to see them expanding more into non-electric. I like the triple bottle cage bosses on the top tube of the second two. Thanks @e-boy :D

Hey @arcom I'm glad the info helped! I think the bike looks really cool, and it's great that you would gain some stability and approachability compared to the DJ Mountain Bike. Sorry to hear that your Parkinson's has been progressing, but what a great attitude and positive ways to spend your...

Hi guys! Aventon sent me this press release about their new Sinch model, which is an update for their folding fat tire electric bike. It looks really nice with the updated brown sidewall tires and two color schemes with internally routed cables, and I've covered an older model here so you can...

@Stefan Mikes I love your accessories and appreciate the insights about button batteries. You're very knowledgeable and good at making those diagrams. Great bike setups! Thanks for sharing so much here, I enjoy your posts :)

Hi guys! From what I've observed, all Specialized electric bikes use the same smartphone app called Mission Control. It offers many features, and has expanded over the years as new generations of ebikes have launched. In general, it allows you to refine the power output of each assist level...

I noticed this issue too... and I wish they would put the units next to height and weight so you could be sure what is needed. As it stands, they just have blank input boxes that allow for numbers and it always gives me pause. Are we talking feet, inches, lbs, kg, oz, cm, mm?? A little help with...

Amazing insights @Stefan Mikes and thank you for uploading a photo! Yes, I see how many things are possible with the different mounts and accessory options. I suspect that in addition to the other improvements with TCD-w 2, there is no longer a button battery required? I did not specifically...

Hi guys! As with some of the other displays and control units out there, I decided to create a resource for the Specialized MasterMind TCD2. The Turbo Connect Display 2 (TCD2) is a backlit, color, LCD display, with the active portion measuring 2" diagonal. Not to be confused with the original...

Thanks Dewey! Giant had some announcements at E3 and sent the following info and photos: MOMENTUM INTRODUCES VOYA E+ COMMUTER BIKE SERIES Lightest E-bikes in Momentum collection designed with invisible battery and motor, and pedal assistance that adjusts to rider cadence for a powerful...

Hi guys, I created a complete and detailed walkthrough for the Bosch eBike Flow smartphone app (for Android and iOS). This display panel is designed to work with a new generation of Bosch electric bike products called "The Smart System". In order to connect your phone, the bike needs to be...

Hi guys, I created complete and detailed walkthrough of the removable backlit color 2" LCD unit called the Bosch Kiox 300. This display panel is different from the original Bosch Kiox, which mounted magnetically vs. using a spring, and required a disposable coin battery vs. running directly off...

Hi guys, I'm making deep-dive guides for each of the Bosch Smart System components. This one is focused on the LED Remote. The video below is a detailed walkthrough of sensors, buttons, and LED readouts. The LED remote is the main interface for powering on the bike, activating lights, activating...

It's difficult to say exactly how things will play out, but I get a lot of confident feedback from Bosch that they will support for 7 years after a product is discontinued. This "support" may not include feature development, but it should mean repair and replacement.

Good question! I asked them and did some of my own searching. It appears that Riese & Müller, CUBE, Haibike, BULLS, Centurion, Ghost, Pole all have Smart System models for 2022, and most have them listed for sale now on their websites, but some are only Europe.

Hi guys! Bosch sent me three press releases, and I spent time talking with two of their reps about the new "Smart System" to get a deep understanding and then share with you here. Check out this in-depth video, and some high resolution images below. Bosch Smart System was announced at their...

Hi guys! I saw this press release from Specialized today, and thought it was positive and interesting. It appears that they have created a path to recycle all Specialized ebike batteries. I'm going to attach their official release to this post, and I welcome your input on other ways to recycle...
