    New Bulls Firmware...I have an announcement!

    The FS3 29 I have had the power issues with was delivered on April 22 and it had four power assist levels and presumably the latest flash; so unless there has been a new update since late April (or Motostrano shipped it without the latest update) the power issues were not fixed for me by the...

    IMO, the wear evident on the chainring is beyond DEMO bike condition.

    A little troubling happening in the e-bike world...

    Not all riders seek the higher watt/volt/amp systems because of a "need for speed". Larger riders with bad knees are one market segment that require more assist than the 250-350w systems can provide. The e-bike speed demons that run illegally on public roads are a danger to themselves and...

    My 2017 Brose Motor, SLOW as molasses, SAD, such a good looking bike..

    I know the fs 3 has a 250w motor, think the 45 has a 350w b/c its a speed pedalec. As far as I know all the Brose ebike motors have belts regardless of the bike brand. I have not seen any BULLS bikes that are cheap or poorly designed across all models. They make great bikes with top components...

    Looking for ebike recommendations for 250lb commuter

    OP on a $1k budget and your posting Stromer/Focus comparison vid? (LOL) I was recommending the hub motor in case you misread my comment; and a mid drive does have more climbing torque than most hub motors; try that Stromer on a 15% grade without the motor eventually turning into a space...

    My 2017 Brose Motor, SLOW as molasses, SAD, such a good looking bike..

    Are we discussing Semantics? I didn't write the system was designed around the belt. All of the internal parts are designed to integrate and work together; its not like they just pulled a belt off the shelve AFTER they designed the system. My point was the firmware settings may be conservative...

    If its easy to do, you might want to take advantage of that warranty while you can and get it diagnosed. Do you pay labor but not parts under you motor warranty?

    Looking for ebike recommendations for 250lb commuter

    Given the carrying load, I think you might be disappointed with anything under these minimum specs: 500w/48v/20a system. Try the PAS 250w/36v/15a mid-drive bikes to see what I mean. On your budget you might look for an inexpensive Bafang BBS02 build (750w/48v/25a with a throttle) if you want a...

    Yamaha or Bosche ?

    I have owned a Bosch CX Haibike and was just able to demo an SDURO all mtn at Crank Cycles here on Maui. I honestly think the Bosch CX is punchier than the Yamaha, with a feeling of a bit more power when climbing. Yamaha motor actually gives more assist at a LOWER cadence which is the opposite...

    Throttle kits

    I think all of the mid-drive motors have internal controllers that are not throttle plug and play. Bafang is the huge exception. You would need to disassembly the motor and remove the PCB, then modify some solder points and add new points to the existing board, then you would need to hard wire...

    My 2017 Brose Motor, SLOW as molasses, SAD, such a good looking bike..

    No, I think their engineers know what they are doing, they used the belt for a reason. My guess is the conservative motor regime is all part of the design to make sure the belt will have the same reliability as hard gears. We know a 250w/36v/15a system can produce adequate assist for most riders...

    My 2017 Brose Motor, SLOW as molasses, SAD, such a good looking bike..

    I Agree, if you check the websites of nearly all ebike manufacturers that sell brose systems (and the other motors as well) you will find the word "powerful" somewhere to describe their 250w/36-37v/15a systems. IMO, for most ebike riders, BULLS/Brose went too far with the "classic bike" feel...

    My 2017 Brose Motor, SLOW as molasses, SAD, such a good looking bike..

    Sorry to hear that, I am guessing BULLS/Brose has a conservative motor regime to protect the internal belt for reliability. Firmware update to make each of the sensors more responsive (literally more sensitive) to rider input would solve the problem so why don't they do it? The belt. Good news...

    There your bikes so you would know the best how they perform. So any thoughts on what you think that squealing was? I have never experienced that climbing a 12%-15% so far.
