Just a shame that Bosch USA won't give you the motor upgrade that you want.

Thanks for the kind words. :) As someone said else where on the forum recently, the sub sections are buried too deeply for anyone to see or take notice of them. Sadly I can see them failing. :( I'm just starting to sort a few more photos out and will also be detailing a few routes with a bit...

Thanks. :) I booked next trip before heading off home again, so I'll be sure to get another photo upon my return. ;) I will need to buy a new camera though before the trip, as it went missing yesterday on the way back through France. :(

In the last two weeks of riding in the Swiss Alps, and carrying two batteries, I have done a total of 20 battery cycles, 10 per battery. Crazy.

If you are going to be riding off road, then I would suggest sticking to crank drive. Work on physical fitness. (with no disrespect intended :)) Work on riding skills, and in the case of rocky climbs such as below, use the light front end to your advantage. A light front end makes even...

One of the main things about full suspension, is to take full advantage of using the lockout. Which is what you are also getting at. :) Before popping out to Switzerland I had a long chat to a pro rider about this very subject, as it wasn't something that I had ever really paid much attention...

I have just been working out a couple of figures, and whilst I didn't the time that I would have liked to ride, what with having to squeeze riding between days of hiking and other such family stuff, I still managed to complete 42,573 ft of elevation gain, over just 87 miles of climbing.

I wouldn't be without a dropper post.

Sadly the last ride of the trip. 26 miles, 14 miles of which were pretty much continuous climbing, with an elevation gain of 6,430 ft https://www.strava.com/activities/668694415 On the plus side, next years trip is already booked. :)

Sadly a very disappointing ride yesterday evening/night. I set out to get some serious elevation gain in, and my chosen route can only be ridden in the evening/night when the mountain is empty of hikers. The weather turned bad in respect of low cloud, and it was too dangerous for me to continue...

Finally found a couple of sections that I couldn't get up, and it was also the first wet ride. The mtb route guide advises riding down this route only, and states clearly that even that isn't advisable. I don't see the point of owning an eMTB if all that you are ever going to do, is to ride...

There shouldn't be any air in a hydraulic brake system.

I only had time to grab a late afternoon ride yesterday, but it was still 17.7 miles with the first 7 miles being a continuous climb with an elevation gain of 3,349' The ride back down was a lovely easy 10 miles of fast riding. https://www.strava.com/activities/664359761

Being away, I seem to be very limited on what I can view at the moment, it might pay to look at the SRAM site, or even YouTube. I have been using my lock out on almost every ride here in Switzerland. It makes so much difference, but it is amazing how many people on FS bikes out here that don't...

Another very tough ride today. Roughly 35 miles with approx 8,000ft of elevation gain.

A more eMTB specific thread has been started here.https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/swiss-trip-2016.6389/ I'll add the Strava stats when I return.

One that I had missed from the epic ride.

For your sake I hope so to. You invalited the warranty on the bike and motor when Martin fitted the dongle.

I decided to ride up to Birg yesterday to complete the ride back down as in the Shilthorn movie clip above. That clip does nothing to show the steepness of it, and I really struggled for traction climbing it, and the front wheel was constantly off the ground. Oddly when I watched the clip, I...
