    Chain stretch

    What life one gets out of a chain will vary significantly as to your riding style, terrain, weight, power output, etc. On my Haibike Full Seven Bosch speed (28mph) I am about 200lbs., ride in mostly eco and tour on mostly flat areas and i get around 1500-2000 miles per chain before it stretches...

    Bosch Battery Full?

    If indeed not charging to 100% adds extended life to the battery I am fine with that. BTW, my experiences are quite similar to BertV's post above. In the end it would be nice if Bosch made some effort to explain this.

    Bosch Battery Full?

    I posted this question a couple of time previously but never got a definite answer. Interesting thread here. And a lot of response! I posted these two threads here months ago.... Purchased a new Bosch 500w battery recently and it seems when I charge it I get the same less then 100% charge...

    eBikeConnect App in the US now!

    Turned on my Nyon for todays ride, fired up the eBikeConnect app on my iPhone and lo and behold there was an updated version, loaded off the AppStore. So finally the app is available, and I presume supported, in the US!

    Bosch battery not charging to 100%

    JRA, good idea, but I am concerned as to which two terminals to connect to. Don't want to be shorting out the battery!

    Bosch battery not charging to 100%

    Was surprised to see this thread active again. I never found an answer to this, and the issue continues. Nothgiel, I was considering swapping out my charger but you wrote that it made no difference so i won't go to the trouble of finding a new charger. I guess I'll just have to live with it...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Whoa! 40.4 mph! That is moving fast. Very impressive! The bike paths look so nice! So. Cal is so far behind in their infrastructure for bikes, but it does seem to be on the city's agenda, but so slow to implement.

    It's a Haibike XDuro Full Seven SR X (model year 2016). Great bike. 4000 miles over two years, zero problems. Mostly on bike routes, around La Jolla and the beach areas, up and down the coast. South Bay loop, crossing the SD Bay on a ferry, going down the Silver Strand, back up to Gaslamp on...

    Topping off a battery.

    A little off topic.... I posted this question a couple of time previously but never got an definite answer: Purchased a new Bosch 500w battery recently and it seems when I charge it I get the same less then 100% charge indication (on my Nyon controller). Usually around 96-97%. I thought on my...

    Using Negative Experiences as Learning Opportunities - What is there to learn from this?

    Richard, I imagined myself in your situation and i would probably would have swung around to the drivers side like you mentioned above. Also this situation is why I run two pulsing L&M lights on the front.

    Chain Life

    Actually never thought about uneven wear. I usually just use the measurement tool on the chain.

    Chain Life

    On my Bosch Performance S I'm on my third chain using the KMC 10e for awhile now and only get around 1500 or so per chain before they stretch out and get noisier. The KMC does come with a quick link. When I purchased the bike it came with a Shimano chain that lasted about the same as the KMC...

    Nyon questions

    I might have asked this question a year ago but never got a response. Does anyone know how to get total mileage onto the Nyon when you replace the Intuvia? At first I thought the total mileage was stored on the Intuvia but when I put the Intuvia back on the bike recently it read all the mileage...

    Your Hopes & Goals in Buying an Ebike - How Has the Reality of It Worked Out?

    glenmorenee, I can relate to your post. I'm into photography and thought by getting a motorcycle I could be out there and have immediate access to good shots. Wrong. When looking for shots I am not paying attention to the road. Plus if I see a shot I would need to unpack my gear which by that...

    Your Hopes & Goals in Buying an Ebike - How Has the Reality of It Worked Out?

    Alaskan, this is a wonderful thread you started. Each reply brought a smile to my face. Just like each time I get out for a ride, that big smile takes over. My own story goes like this. I started riding fixed wheels in NYC in the sixties. Went from there to Norton Cafe Racers. Put on many many...
