    Bikes with Gen 4 Bosch Performance Line Speed

    @Stefan Mikes - I was just looking at the Cube offerings. They all appear to use the CX line, yes? Limited to 20mph.

    Bikes with Gen 4 Bosch Performance Line Speed

    @Alaskan is that because the previous generations have that 2x ratio and the oblong motor housing?

    Bosch Gen 4 question re torque sensor

    @fooferdoggie I’ve got side-tracked with work, and I can’t recall if we discussed whether your new Kiox display setup could transmit torque/power via ANT or BTLE. Can you remind me?

    Bikes with Gen 4 Bosch Performance Line Speed

    Does anyone know of a reliable list of bikes with the Gen 4 Bosch Performance Line Speed motor? I know that Trek has the Allant+ and Domane+ HP. Gazelle has Medeo and Ultimate T10+. Are the Cannondale bikes Gen 4 or previous gen?

    Bosch Gen 4 mid-drive vs 750W Bafang Geared Hub Motor

    Thanks @Alaskan and @Ravi Kempaiah. @Alaskan - I am actually buying for both fitness and commuting, and it is highly unlikely that the bike will end up being my only commute vehicle. That said, your points about reliability and service are well taken. I am quite mechanically inclined, but I do...

    Bosch Gen 4 mid-drive vs 750W Bafang Geared Hub Motor

    I have been trying to pick the perfect ebike for my ~40 mile round-trip commuter. See Avid cyclist looking to reduce commute time I actually have a deposit down on a Bulls Urban Evo 10 with the Bosch Gen 4 mid-drive motor (available in ~1 month). Court's review of the pre-release version of this...

    Bosch displays: Kiox vs Smartphone Hub vs new Nyon

    Thanks @fooferdoggie - what ended up being the install issue? Hmm, no 3rd party app connectivity is an issue for me. I’m guessing Nyon will be similar. did you give any thought to waiting for Nyon?

    Bosch displays: Kiox vs Smartphone Hub vs new Nyon

    Hi all - I have seen a few threads on Kiox vs Smartphone Hub (SPH), but none with a ton of detail. I understand the potential mount issues with SPH as well as potential glare from a smartphone screen. How about functionality? What are the main differences between Kiox and the Cobi(?) app used by...

    Avid cyclist looking to reduce ~40 mile round-trip commute time

    @Johnny : “I don't know why you are constantly trying out the offerings with 1.1.” - I’m at the mercy of what is available, that’s why. I am also coming around on your perspective with regards to riding position. That is the primary reason for checking out this particular LBS - I knew they had...

    Avid cyclist looking to reduce ~40 mile round-trip commute time

    @WattsUpDude - I was looking at the Grinder Evo and when my LBS mentioned that Urban Evo was getting an upgrade to Gen 4, I wondered if Grinder Evo might (it is not - or at least not soon). I have looked at so many bikes and so many options, that it is getting difficult to differentiate and...

    Avid cyclist looking to reduce ~40 mile round-trip commute time

    Staring down the barrel of a $7k + tax purchase (Domane+ HP 7 vs Creo SL Comp Carbon), I decided that I owed it to myself to try a few more bikes. In this case, more typical “commuter” bikes. I had the chance to test ride: Bulls Iconic Evo TR1 Specialized Turbo Vado SL EQ (not sure which one)...

    Trek Domane+ HP 7 vs Specialized Turbo Creo SL Carbon Comp

    @Johnny I road a Vado and Creo SL back-to-back and definitely preferred the position of the Creo. I hear what you are saying, but at 25mph, an upright position requires an additional 50 - 75W on a flat road. That‘s an extra 50 - 75Wh of battery required (per leg) for my commute. Add in a little...

    Bosch Gen 4 question re torque sensor

    Does anyone know if the Bosch Gen 4 motor transmits rider input power data (either via ANT+ or BTLE) like the Specialized SL 1.1 motor? What about total power? I rode a Trek Domane+ HP 7 yesterday, and it is clear that the Kiox controller has some power data, but it isn’t clear whether that can...
