    Bosch cx (Gen 3) Q:

    JayVee's answer is well said. I had to replace mine at 5000 miles. Riding buddy of mine about the same. Haibike has a special one for Bosch motors and it is just south of $200! There are alternatives but I think you need to do research to get the right offset spacing so i went with the OEM...

    Megavalanche Haibike allmontain

    Wow, what a run! Not ever doing anything like this, I am curious, seeing as it is almost entirely a downhill run, what is the point of having an eBike?

    Nyon Retrofit

    Bob, You can download the app on US App Store and then purchase the two custom modes if you want. AT least this is available for iPhone users. I believe Android as well.

    Nyon Retrofit

    Bob, I went through the UK App store after I changed my Apple ID to UK. I did not use my cc as I didn't buy the custom upgrades. At the time I was of the understanding that a US cc would not work. But now you can download the app and also buy the custom mode upgrade directly from the US app store.

    New chain clatter/cracking sound ( Vado,11 speed )

    Just went through the same thing with my Haibike Full7. New chain made a racket when pedaling with force, turns out it was indeed the front chainring. Replaced it and all is quiet now. About 5k miles on the bike. Have had to replace chains about every 1400 miles or so.Even with the supposedly...

    Front sprocket and SES pulley replacement

    Replaced a chain about 6 months ago and it was noisier then the one it replaced. But it eventually "stretched in" I assume and ran quieter. Got about 1200 miles on it, now stretched out. New chain makes a racket engaging front sprocket under load. I put the old chain back and it was quiet. I...

    Front sprocket and SES pulley replacement

    I am replacing these two sprockets on my 2&1/2 year old Haibike Full Seven. I have 5000 miles on it, almost all on pavement, very little dirt trail rides. Ride mostly relatively flat terrain, weigh 200lbs., never in the rain, and mostly in eco or tour. Religiously cleaned and oiled the chain...

    Installing a front light on the Bosch system

    I believe there are two ports, one for front light, one for rear light, both controlled by whatever Bosch controller (ie Nyon, Intuvia, etc)

    Chain Replacement? Chain recommendations

    You might want to try an bike specific chain from KMC or others. I get around 1500 miles per chain, never let it stretch out too far. Also I clean and oil it every 50-75 miles. Use the bike mostly on paved bike paths. A lot has to do with your weight, riding style, weather, etc. My riding buddy...

    Bosch Nyon-A few questions

    When I first installed my Nyon around two years ago I was able to see incoming text messages which would only show who it was from and the advisory to pull over to retrieve the actual message. Then at some point it stopped receiving texts. If you read up on the Nyon and it capabilities you will...
