You should have stated you were just reposting, and why. And yes, I'm "Are you always abrasive, insulting, and offensive". I don't just save it for this forum. Too bad some are so thin skinned that they don't even recognize a posting that appears to be a naked advertisement.

And you claim no special relationship with Bosch? Did you compose this press release? Or did Bosch send it to you? Did you get any consideration from Bosch for posting this? Just curious...

some of us have been crying for changelogs from Bosch for a long time. Nada. I have no idea why, given that it's a rather trivial task to write up in consumerese what's new/updated/changed.

I suspect you're going to be stymied by Bosch's reluctance to release technical data like circuit diagrams or schematics. Have you looked at ebay? I see this for example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/354155144401?hash=item52754aa4d1%3Ag%3AhUoAAOSwqrliyKyz&LH_ItemCondition=3000

Water in a frame tube? Has it been in heavy rain? Or washed with a hose? Steel or Aluminum frame?

Meanwhile, got medical clearance, so to speak, from my oncologist, yesterday, for travel. Time to start looking at options. Benelux/Keukenhof during tulip season (next April?) is at the top of the list. I can see 6 days or so of inn to inn, with road tripping before or after. Now, if only...

What does Bosch say? I presume the LBS where you bought the bikes has access to retailer Bosch tech support?

I think this is good advice because cutting and soldering creates a possible failure point, whether due to faulty soldering or stresses from the stiffer soldered section leading to mechanical failure. Builders should also think about strain relief and grommeting where wires go through a hole...

Must be your dad's age. :). I learned the hard way that a soldering gun can fry a PCB trace in no time. Got a temp controlled soldering iron just like the one pictured in Harry S's post. No more fried PCB...

totally agree on both counts. Our tort system is a mess. Our courts are politicized, and a haven for pseudoscience in the form of "expert" witnessess that will take any position leading to a paycheck. OTOH, we do have a bit of history showing how companies, in the pursuit of profits, kept...

Everything depends on your assist level. For example, spouse and I do a lunch ride several times a week when I'm between Chemo cycles and my energy level is up enough. Our most common ride is 11.5 miles RT with about 1000 feet of climbing. We tend to use power only for climbing, and only as...

Too bad this is little defense in a typical negligence lawsuit!

Firearms are the only category of product that I know of where the manufacturers are protected to some degree by Federal law. I suspect the real issue with this bike accident is that the parents are trying to extort some money out of Radpower for a situation where Rad had very little...

It's a bit complicated. They have, in theory, retail channel tech support. My experience, with a cobi.bike problem, where an update broke several functions, left a lot to be desired, which prompted my switch to Nyon. Non-retail components, like DU, don't have any consumer level support. It's...

You're confusing DTC with normal retail channels. Bosch packages some parts, such as the Nyon upgrade, as a retail product, in retail packaging. An OEM part would generally be supplied in a generic, low cost bulk package, not single colorful packaging. They also provide a consumer warranty...

Vacuum tubes in a transistor radio??? That wouldn't be a transistor radio then, would it? It would be a tube radio with transistors... Heck, I can pre-date you anyway - used to repair all tube amps when I was in HS. Not uncommon for them to have blown resistors or caps when a tube shorted...

Not quite true. They are mostly an OEM supplier, but also sell products in a retail environment. That's why we can buy a NYON kit to upgrade our cobi.bike dog. It's interesting how they bought an open platform in cobi.bike, then essentially killed off any independent developer work - just...

Lucca? Yes, fascinating. Spent two nights there a few years back. One challenge for ebike tours that I'm seeing is that bike quality varies widely. Some use R&M bikes. Some use no name hub drives. One even shows pictures of bikes with rim brakes. Wonder how old those are?

I did once. Little traffic. Since when do threads stay STRICTLY on topic anyway? You've been around here a while. You should know your comment is a bit over the top...do you police other threads too?

I'm jealous. Spouse and I keep dreaming about a bike tour, but health issues (chemotherapy...) keep getting in the way... We're dreaming now of an inn to inn tour of Amsterdam to Belgium next spring during tulip season (Keukenhof...). Some interesting options, some eyewatering expensive...
