Great question! I'd be potentially interested in getting EMTB mode instead of Sport on my Allant too. So far I probably use Sport the least of the power modes and it would be interesting to try the adaptable eMTB mode...yes, even on paved roads because you don't have to be on single track MTB...

The Bosch system (firmware) update for the gen 4 motors appears to be arriving soon. I've seen reports of someone in Australia already getting it and this Bosch website has very recently updated the version numbers (e.g., previously Performance Line Speed was ver. 1.0.3 and now it is listed as...

This looks like a nice bike at a great price point. However, my advice to Yamaha if they hope to see continued growth in the North American market is to introduce an XL frame size for all of their models for the sometimes larger American bodies. Looking at that photo e-boy posted, the bike...

I've also been considering these exact pedals. Please report back once you have a chance to ride them for a bit. I thought the stock Satellite City pedals would be horrible when I first glanced at them. They certainly are ugly IMHO and they initially did not look very grippy. But I thought I...

New Allant+ 7s owner here. I've put in a little over 100 miles on it and can say that it is a truly awesome bike! I really love it and have no issues at all. I agree with Dallant that my Performance Line Speed (Gen 4) is also slightly louder than some other motors I tried (for example, the...

Whatever I happen to be wearing! Usually either my Altra Superior trail runners, Keens, or Doc Martens. I'll even go barefoot on occasion if I'm just going around the block. After riding almost exclusively in bike specific shoes with clipless pedals for the last decade+, I'm finding it quite...

Well...I just tried it again and this time the lights did not come on. I must have accidentally turned on the power last time. Disregard my question... sorry for my confusion! You make a good point, perhaps just charge all the way and let Bosch battery management do it's thing.

I'm trying to use the timer method to charge a Bosch battery to roughly 80% while attached to bike (with purion) . Unfortunately, when doing this, the bike lights and Purion system turn on when the power switches off. Is there any way to avoid this? Or is charging off the bike the only way to...

Nice Jones Loop setup on your Allant 8 @grandmacyclist! How do you like the handlebar? Did it require any modifications to the cables or bike/components?

Thanks @Court! I'm really hoping this is the case since the MY20 performance line speed does have the full size chainring (unlike the MY19, which had the 2.5x reduction gear). I'm thinking of bikes with the MY20 Bosch with full size chainring like the: Trek Allant+ 7s/8s/9.9s And the...

Press release on software update from Bosch: https://www.bosch-presse.de/pressportal/de/en/extra-power-for-drive-units-214016.html I do, however, see some potentially contradictory information that has me a bit confused, since it states both: ...and later in the press release: I'm hoping...

Thanks Mulezen. For others...this is what I'm referring to regarding the differences in cable integration in the stem (9.9 model): vs. Cable integration in the head tube (models 7 & 8):

@Mulezen--- Did the hydraulic lines need to be redone when you installed the Moloko because of the short lines due to the internally routed stem on the Allant+ 9.9s? Or was it because of some other reason? If the Moloko bars were installed on the Allant+ 7 or 8 with the standard stem and longer...

You may already be aware of this, but WhatBars (https://whatbars.com/) is an awesome website for comparing handlebars. You can select the FSA Metropolis and compare sweep, width, hand position, etc. by overlaying any other handlebars you wish to select. For example, the FSA Metropolis and the...

I rode a white frame but there are other colors available in my size. Decision...

Wow! Thank you for these excellent responses! Based on your comments, I tried a Vado 4.0 and it is quite impressive. Nice power and super quiet. Solid overall build feel too. Great, now I have a third bike to choose from...my short list just got longer. 😂 I'll ponder this a bit more. I do...

Hi all, I'm in the process of trying to select a mid-drive ebike that would be used primarily for commuting. I'm a big guy at 210 lbs and my commute is fairly hilly with 400 ft (125m) hills at the beginning and end. But the commute is fairly short at only 18 miles r/t (9 miles one way). 95% of...

A mixte frame is reasonably close to a step-through. Note that on post #16 of this thread, Pushkar stated:

Wow! This bike really seems to hit the sweet spot for a well thought out commuter IMHO. Well done. It appears to have vertical dropouts attached to a sliding "bracket" of sorts (sorry I don't know the technical term). Is there a a belt tensioning bolt for relatively simple micro-adjustment of...
