You need the Nyon unit, the mounting plate, the handlebar mount, the mount clamps (order two because they don’t come as a pair), and depending on your handlebars, the shims. You’ll also need screws, some M6s and M8s I believe. You can get sets with tons of screws on Amazon. I was able to do it...

Well it works great and is the best way to secure your phone to the Smartphonehub, TBH but it is way overpriced considering they don’t make one for any newer phones. But unfortunately for me, the cobi.bike was just not my cup of tea. So I just replaced the whole thing with a Nyon. I am much...

Nope, just a straight swap. I did check and my motor firmware is a little out of date, but that will be fixed on my next stop in the shop.

We may never know exactly why the Cobi app never lived up to it’s potential. But I’ve been in the software business long enough to know that it is almost always due to compromises and decisions made around which product lines get the funding and support. This is even more of a problem when you...

I like the smartphone as a eBike computer concept as well. Modern phones have a lot of awesome tech and so many sensors that can provide a great platform to build on: big screens, accelerometers, GPS, fast processors, big batteries, cellular data, etc. Why provide an LCD screen, GPS antenna, and...

Did my first long ride with the Nyon today and I am much happier. The navigation was actually pretty good (used a Komoot route I planned) and it rerouted just fine the few times I went on a slightly different path. The route planning itself is kinda crap, but I was already using Komoot for that...

I suspect the next iteration of Trek bikes will drop the SPH in favor of the new system, though it’s going to be interesting to see what they do considering only the new CX motor is supported. As much as a love my Allant, looking at how much more seamless Specialized bikes are WRT the eBike...

The SPH could have been great if more effort had been put into the app and mounting systems. Ebike Connect and Cobi should have been merged into a single app, or at a minimum the eBike Connect app should work with SPH hardware so that you gain those features. The unreliable spring-loaded clamp...

FYI @William - Bosch Team i was able to source all the parts for the Nyon separately. It was an easy swap. So far, I am liking it much, MUCH better than the cobi app and SPH. Thanks for the help!

So, I’ve got it installed! I had to source all the parts separately because retrofit kits are just sold out everywhere. But it was about the same price so, meh. I did have to buy screws as the individual bits don’t come with any. But install was a cinch. Took about 20min. Plus another 10 to set...

I am also named Mike and also have an 8s. From now on, only Mikes may post in this thread. We’re all unique, just like everyone else! I did a lot of the same mods, Redshift stem and seatpost were the first things I added. Made all the difference. I love the way the 8s rides. It’s such a solid...

Great, thanks for the confirmation @William - Bosch Team ! I’m glad the systems are interchangeable as that really improves user choice. Retrofit kits do seem to be rather scarce but I think I can get all the parts separately.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I didn’t see a definitive answer. I also have a 2021 Trek Allant 8s and I’m curious about swapping the Smartphonehub for the Nyon. I just don’t like the the cobi.bike app, and don’t like using a phone. The Nyon looks great, but if I were to buy a new...

I have decided to use the Cobi.bike case for the iPhone X. Works great, looks cleaner, easy to remove, and charges without the cable. Wish they made more sizes, but this seems like the best option.

Thanks for the link! I actually started looking around for something like what you mentioned and I think I ended up ordering this (or something very close). Gonna try both the iPhone X case, and the silicone band with the 11 Pro Max and see which works better. I really want to use my regular...

What kind of silicon band holder is that? I tried using one that came with my wife's phone mount, but it won't fit properly since the phone has to be slightly off-center (so the universal mount clamp won't press the buttons on the side). Maybe if I just take the universal mount off altogether?

Before I posted this, I was looking at the Bosch and Trek websites for additional accessories for the SmartphoneHub (like a case or some other mounting option) and I did not see anything listed, so I assumed there weren't any other options. The site does mention the case in the FAQ, but I...

Hi, I just bought a Trek Allant 8s and I am looking for a different mounting options for my phone. I am using my wife’s old iPhone X because on my first ride, my phone (iPhone 11 Pro Max) flew out of the mount on the first bump and smashed the screen. Annoyed, but kinda my fault since the phone...

Thanks for your insight! I did read your posts and watch your video about the FLX as a commuter bike. Very informative!

I do like Giant as well. Hmm, well I can’t find the Stance anywhere locally (well no where close anyway) but they do have the Fastroad E+ EX Pro, so maybe I’ll try that and compare to the Trek. But back to the FLX, I would love to hear about the quality and support experiences, even for their...
