    Anyone know what the update did for the Nyon?

    I'm using that same piece of hardware (1GB Nyon Generation 1) for 9 years now. And because it is Bosch, I am confident that I can use it another 9 years with updated maps every now and then.

    Error 640 on Bosch Powertube 500 battery after 1000 hours of use

    No need, happy to help. Wherever you have access to a Windows PC, they should have a micro USB cable, too.

    Error 640 on Bosch Powertube 500 battery after 1000 hours of use

    @Marcparis if you have access to a Windows computer and a micro USB cable and internet connection, send me a PM and we can do a diagnostic report. Then you'll exactly see what the issue is.

    Error 640 on Bosch Powertube 500 battery after 1000 hours of use

    Sounds exactly like at least one block's voltage is drifting away. I've rebuilt a few batteries like that. Too bad you're too far away.

    Torque upgrade on Active Line

    If you could get a brand new US CX motor for 400€ or a 25km/h CX for 600€, you would still get the 25? Hard to believe. The US versions work well with the dongles, too. The only downside of the US motors is, that they are considered S-Pedelecs in the Nyon routing. That sucks because it is...

    Bosch's battery recommendations

    Exactly what I wrote. I know, there are members here that are ok with two charges a year, but I am actually using my ebikes for what they are made for.

    Bosch's battery recommendations

    Just take her bike for a spin then. I recently bought another used bike for my wife. A 2017 Haibike. It came with a fully charged battery and a diagnostic report from 2 years ago (with 100% charged battery). Probably when the dealer took it in. So it has not been used in 2 years. On the...

    Torque upgrade on Active Line

    But I do 😆 As this is the Wild West without any laws, I upgrade and modify the s#!^ out of the Bosch motors, which works just great. I would not ride my bikes in EU like that because they actually enforce the law. Here no one cares. Saves a lot of time if you ride more than many people even do...

    Torque upgrade on Active Line

    Right, not for the motor, but replacing that motor with the Performance Line is a torque upgrade for the bike.

    Do Bosch motors add resistance at the class 1/3 support limit?

    That is funny though. Sounds like your cut off on a class 3 with a Bosch would then be 28 Mph if you ride it with no assistance. What is your limit coasting down a hill? My bikes all cut off at 55Mph on my "Home Hill", with or without motor. Exactly, I do also get way more workout on my bikes...

    Do Bosch motors add resistance at the class 1/3 support limit?

    Anything that moves has some resistance of some kind. Bearings just lower the resistance pretty well, but still have some resistance. And when they are rusty, they add some more resistance. There are people claiming they can feel the drag of a hub dynamo. Sure, if you can only pedal 20 Watts...

    Do Bosch motors add resistance at the class 1/3 support limit?

    Same with the walk assistance. As soon as I turn it off, it is getting really hard to push the fully loaded bike with the trailer up a hill. Almost feels like it sticks to the planet, don't know if there is some magic force in the Bosch motor doing that. But I don't have that "motor resistance"...

    Torque upgrade on Active Line

    It is a Gen3, right? Yes, these 40Nm motors are kinda weak, but that is to protect the Nexus. However, I have a bike with a Nexus where I tried the Performance (65Nm) line and it works well. You just don't want to yank the gears while pedaling in Turbo. So you can get an unconfigured motor...

    Do Bosch chargers fail?

    Master in electric engineering, Bosch certified for over 10 years. Started 2012 making and selling tuning chips, too. And for the guys who bought Bosch motors from me, ask them how their motors with that configuration are performing. Always happy to read funny things.

    Do Bosch chargers fail?

    Millions of people using it in Europe with no issues. Bosch is the largest automotive supplier worldwide and the biggest in the eBike business in Europe, selling these charges for over 10 years. You would think they know their business, but no, here comes this one guy with an "electronics...

    Replacing Intuvia rocker switch

    $60 with tax? Seriously? I have a whole box of them left over here from the Nyon conversions. Could buy a new bike if I sell them for that price. @sande005 I can send you one for the shipping cost if you want it.

    Bosch Purion dead pixels

    It is not the seal. Just read my first reply what was confirmed by Cosmin. If you know how LCDs work, you know what the issue is. And the rubber seal actually does not dry out. Maybe after 30 years.

    Bosch Purion dead pixels

    That is totally not worth it. They are dirt cheap used. If you were in the US, I would just send it for the shipping cost.
