    bosch nyon 2021 release date

    Anyone else get the OTA software update for their Nyon (MY21) recently? I got it. Haven't had a chance to play with it at all but seemed like some interesting upgrades - including a weather screen? Much appreciation to Bosch for doing the OTA software update.

    I got the same update. I haven't gotten to play around with it yet. I echo your appreciation of the OTA updates.

    Interesting Use Case. Need Advice.

    Brilliant discussion everyone. So many options to consider.

    Interesting Use Case. Need Advice.

    Like most, you can carry more while sweating less and go faster than a traditional bike with less effort. I also find ebikes are easier to ride in traffic for quick getaways at stop lights and snappy acceleration to avoid the usual cycle of "You pass cars & stop at light. Cars pass you and stop...

    Review: Electra Vale Go!

    Congrats. Notice any "lean to the left" when fully loaded? Assume not since e-bikes are already very heavy.

    Dolphin freewheel/gearset change

    Interesting. Was the original gearing a problem regardless of amount of assist you were using? Researching the Volador and Dolphin for my son and his GF in the Bay Area as a commuter they will share when the other has the 1 car. (They are considering selling the other car to get more green and...

    Interesting Use Case. Need Advice.

    Very interesting reviews for the 2 Qualisports options. I think the bigger battery supports the extra $200 for the Dolphin. Really like that they have designed the bottom of the seat tube to be a resting point when folded. Unboxing videos are very detailed and easy to follow. Availability on...

    Nyon MY21 - Initial Thoughts

    Thanks. I knew some of those tricks from reading threads prior to install but it is good to have them in 1 place. I will try when I get home and follow the steps precisely. Another thing I remembered: I can see the In-App purchase for customized assistance levels, but there is no Lock...

    Review: Electra Vale Go!

    Went to the local Trek store after a ride yesterday. Since I had my 2019 Domane+, I was able to remove the PowerTube 500 on the Vale 9D EQ S to see if they are interchangeable. They are. Once I popped my battery into the Vale, it showed up on the Kiox with 18% remaining value (which was what it...

    Interesting Use Case. Need Advice.

    I knew I left out some important data! He is 5'11" and she is 5'2" which is a pretty big spread. The Brompton suggestion below (and other folders) is an option I was thinking of researching. Solves a lot of problems (height differential, theft, mass transport, etc.).

    Interesting Use Case. Need Advice.

    Review: Electra Vale Go!

    What happened to the Path Go 10D Cort repeatedly references in the video? It appears that there is now also a Vale Go 9D S that has the Performance Line motor rather than the Active Line motor. Maybe Trek / Electra consolidated Path & Vale into the Vale brand and then added the S with the...

    Possible to Use PowerTube 500 on 2 Different Bikes?

    I looked at the battery on my Domane+ (2019) and similarly couldn't see any sort of demarcation for a spacer. I meant to measure the opening but forgot to do so. My initial conclusion is the same as yours - the Allant PowerTube and receiving slot appear to be different than mine. In the Allant...

    Trek Domane +HP 2021

    Now you have me worried. Bosch Nyon is sitting at LBS and waiting to be installed after a weekend big ride. I am hoping they can do it seamlessly and I don't have to worry about it at all. I have a 2019 Domane+ with the Purion head unit. I know they have to "drop the motor" to get it wired, but...

    Possible to Switch Batteries? (cross posted to Trek Forum as well - please delete if that's not allowed)

    I have a 2019 Domane+ the (per the specs here) has a Bosch PowerTube 500wh. I am looking at options for my wife and came across an in-stock Allant +7 at the LBS and description says Bosch PowerTube 500. Other than the navy v. matte black fashion statement, is there any reason I couldn't use...

    Bought Trek Domane+ ALR

    Very cool. How do you get the side-by-side bottle cages on the down tube? I think I may have gone this direction if it was available when I purchased my 2019 Domane+, although I like the Bosch motor. I do, however, prefer Shimano over SRAM.

    5 Bosch Display Choices - Good, Bad and Ugly

    Bumping this thread as I am trying to decide my next step. After research, options are below with Pros & Cons (as I understand them). Any feedback or corrections greatly appreciated. I am riding a 2019 Domane+ with original Purion controller. New Nyon - PROS - seems to have all bells &...
