Exactly my experience -- 2 flats within first 1000 miles. I also experienced sidewall damage. Sidewalls were thin, presumably to accommodate folding.

I have at least 1, maybe 2. I can look for them if you want. If I have 2, I'm happy to give you one free.

Yes, just the Nyon (1gb or 8gb) screen which slides into the Intuvia mount. The Intuvia control unit (switch) should work with Nyon. The only time I've seen it not work is really old versions (2015-16) of the switch. The Nyon unit has a toggle next to the screen, giving you an alternative to...

I had this problem with Nyon 1. As it was never officially released in the US, my dealer refused any assistance :( The good news is that with repeated attempts while systematically making changes, I always managed to get it working (eventually). My first suggestion would be to remove the device...

That's with a cloth cover for the top battery. no less. I predict that cloth battery cover will be nothing but trouble. Looks great on the showroom floor, tho'.

I enjoyed your proof-of-concept and consider it a form of advocacy. The comments regarding how easy it is to find an outlet seem dated to me. Public/private entities increasingly are discouraging charging due to 1) Safety. As an example, my regional rail now explicitly forbids bike battery...

The scooter manufacturer might be out of business, but the battery manufacturer is still around. I'd contact them to get a connector ID and possible recommendation on how to source a charger. I doubt they still make this battery, but it won't hurt you to reach out...

R&M makes TuffCoat foil available (free) via your dealer to protect the rack. Comes in sheets and actually works well. Don't know if they've continued the practice -- I was given some in 2022.

The frame tape is still a good suggestion if you ever sell the bike. I used it on a non-electric Bianchi, and the paint looked like new when I sold it after 7 years of use. Got my asking price bc appearance is what sells, for better or for worse.

Grin does sell cables to connect to Bosch (pre-Smart System) and Specialized batteries. Don't believe Shimano is available,

No angst. Use current model as commuter only.

No need for a chat as I've owned 3 R&Ms which I've taken across the US 2x + one 1400 mile trip for major trips and umpteen shorter trips with a good deal of involuntary off-road. Some examples of involuntary: Montana - a choice between I-90 or abandoned railroad tracks with a mix of parallel...

I think @Stefan Mikes should stop by and appraise your bike, as he is most likely to use this term. If I had to guess, I'd say it means heavy, seemingly overbuilt, ponderous. See R&M. Some might assume that the SUV is an off-roader, but in my experience, most SUVs stay on paved roads! Again...

I was thinking about the ebike-specific announcement I read some years ago -- probably this: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN1PC0XQ/ Some light searching reveals European tariffs on Chinese bike imports dating back to 1993. tbh, I have trouble these days understanding what constitutes...

Didn't the EU apply similar protectionist tariffs some years ago? I think the Euro players protected themselves. I see Bosch batteries made in Poland or Vietnam, frames in Taiwan and so on.

The Bosch 'fast' charger used by OP is non-switching, 50Hz, i.e. of limited use, stateside. I'd say @ava1ar has made the best possible use of this resource that is otherwise too limited to be useful in the US. The Grin Cycle Satiator with the Bosch adapter (pre- Smart System) is an alternative...

Woooooooooooo ... I'm going to be a Czech here and say ha ha...

How frustrating, Sam. Wishing you a speedier recovery.

Which parkway?

While I live in the DC metro, I keep my sailboat in Sparrows Point, which is to 'the right' of the bridge. Sparrows Point is the site of former Bethlehem Steel (furnace came down in 2012) and is now Tradepoint Atlantic, a major distribution center. Residents in the area transitioned from steel...
