No worries on my end, I don't worry or fret over much of anything - I just find it disturbing that "big business" in general, doesn't feel we the consumer, is worthy of the TRUTH. I really appreciate the good info!

similar to motorcycle stats.

@tompat - you folks are AMAZING at your ability to dig up the good stuff. This post in and of itself, says it all. Does anyone think this creates false advertising? What is the financial benefit or legal benefits to fudging the numbers?

@PDoz - great post. Thanks.

@AlanDB - what an awesome link - I believe informationally - this is the end of the road in a manner of speaking. Adding one more sublink to it: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/ca-court-of-appeal/1587343.html For me I would like to know about accuracy but as far as holding anyone accountable, it...

@AlanDB - I think consumers would always be wise to wave the bull poop flag in the face of nonsense - such as the bucket load your car dealer gave you. The consumer has a right to get what they pay for (accuracy being one thing) OR a manufacturer needs to be forth coming and honest about the...

Please remember the initial question my post is asking - is there an error in the Bosch speed calculation methodology? My happiness is not at stake; I love riding bicycles of all types all the time. My question is very specific to the indicated speed on a product advertised to go up to a...

@Mr. Coffee - I don't believe gps in general are more accurate - in my case they were my first observation that something was different. The Honda CRV pacing me at 20 mph and then 25 mph and then 28 mph has a very accurate speedometer and I was surprised that the cars speed was the same as the...

@Mr. Coffee - Thanks! Exactly what I am looking for; but percent of what? Percent(s) can be great or little so what did the difference translate to in MPH or KPH? Thanks in Advance! Looking forward to more info.

@rich c - you are correct, having just got my new SC8S I am just now exploring it. No intent to be confrontational, just want to gather data from lots of folks with similar Bosch systems. Curiosity. I am aware that adjusting software to defeat the 28 mph cut out in anyway would void an important...

@Mr. Coffee I also have a very bored policeman friend who would love to radar me just because he is a bike nerd also.

@rich c - at issue here is approximately 2 mph which is a lot of difference. yes of course the VW analogy was extreme but it was just an analogy of corporate fiddling. Does the consumer not have a right to expect performance to be on par with advertisement..etc…? At any rate, it will be...

Well the 3 comparisons were side by side as in immediate and visual and included a pace vehicle and all confirmed the same thing - that the Bosch Intuvia was reading 2 to 2.4 miles per hour faster, this meant the motor was cutting out at 26 mph vice 28 :confused: @Carterk, since we have another...

I have a new TREK Super Commuter 8S. It is the speed version motor. Tires and the important stuff is STOCK. I have noticed over several days and rides using three different instruments, Garmin, Wahoo, Car pacing, that the Bosch Display is Reading 2 - 2.4 MPH faster than actual speed. Is this a...

7/14/18 an all is well reduced the front to 30 psi and back to 45 psi. Didn't seem to affect speed to much. My ride into work is fairly tame with two good descents at 31.5 mph... asphalt seemed fine with the pressure and I didn't feel squirrely. Going home today will be the real test since I...

@Dynamo Dan - I never EVER thought about an ebike - I've ridden traditional bikes to and from work for over 45 years; then I got hit by a car. consequently damage left me needing help in several ways - but the oddest way was my thermal regulation was damaged. I no longer sweat and I couldn't...

@Ravi Kempaiah - ok I will try it tomorrow 7/14/18 and see how it goes... gotta find a body float.

I have a TREK super commuter 8S and I would like to add a body flow seat post and some type of front suspension to it to smooth out my ride. Ideas that will work ? Resources ?

All of this talk is cross talk and info is creating quite a dilemma for me. Trying to decide between a Nuvinci and a Rohloff etc... I pedal at a constant 78 rpm... done so all my life with squirts faster down hill and squirts slower for uphill. I have ALWAYS used my GEARING to maintain my RPM at...

Since I am just now wanting to add a riese and muller to my stable - your thread and purchase is timely. I was having trouble deciding between the nuvinci and the rohloff but reading your words makes me think that a supercharger HS with a nuvinci will leave me unsatisfied since I haul butt in...
