    Bosch Smart System, Kiox 300, PowerTube 750, eBike Flow App

    That's a very good analogy! :) I assume you're talking about Custom Ride Modes? I'm pretty confident that the data/parameters/software for this would be in the motor, the only real problem then is the user interface to use it, but like i've said b4 even the Intuvia has seen a bit of light...

    Bosch Smart System, Kiox 300, PowerTube 750, eBike Flow App

    So on one hand the Bafang is much more tweak-able, but has it much more or around the same reliability as a Bosch? Is the combination of the electronics, torque sensor & software as smooth at delivering power as the Bosch? Do their batteries last as long? I know you can get 2 or 3 of their...

    Bosch Smart System, Kiox 300, PowerTube 750, eBike Flow App

    What appears to be no mechanical change but an electronics & software upgrade to enable the CAN FD protocol (and more thorough tuning detection?) in the new motor i was thinking that this would have been a good time for Bosch to introduce a modular/flexible motor fitting system/standard that...

    In Bosch's defense, none of these things were ever promised. But it must be absolutely impossible to have a stripped down version of the PC software that the dealers use to update the firmware via USB cable :)

    Regenerative Braking?

    And also https://www.neodrives.com/en/drive-system/z20/z20-rear-motor/ which are used in Santos ebikes, direct drive though :( I'd be willing to put up with the display to get to using a Grin GMAC with Pinion though! Love the idea of geared re-gen.

    Of course they did, but i failed to mention the gravity of what was released (not much) and complications during a worldwide pandemic and therefore desire for other companies to release new models, etc.

    And my next e-bike might just be a Tout Terrain/Co-motion/Santos/other titanium frame with Pinion P1.18 or C1.12, Gates CDX:EXP, Grin GMAC Clutch-less Geared Hub Motor on rear, Grin Baserunner or Phaserunner, Grin Cycle Analyst V3 & perhaps a combination of Li-Ion, LiFePO4 & SuperCap to handle...

    And Specialized make the motor and the bike. Bosch don't make the bikes, so you'd have to be a bit of an idiot to expect all the OEM's to have a full range a few months after a Bosch launch. And they didn't release much so that limits the range that can be released. And if they are losing their...

    Hah, without mentioning Specialized, but assumed, it was your intelligent comments about how intelligent it was for Specialized to stop making a 2A charger and how intelligent the rest are compared to Bosch chargers. When in all fact they are no more intelligent, the only way they are perhaps...

    Bosch previews its vision for future full suspension electric bikes

    I like hearing about diverse components :) Bosch motors only work with those mentioned "diverse e-bike components", and those "diverse e-bike components" only work with a Bosch motor! :) Nice looking bike though!

    Your baiting finally worked... :) I cannot find any official figures for Efficiency or PFC (Power Factor Correction - if any) for Specialized or Bosch, you cannot put either companies chargers into an "Intelligent" category, you can with this...

    Bosch Smart System, Kiox 300, PowerTube 750, eBike Flow App

    Can''t find any weight specs for the Specialized charger, how intelligent it is and do they have a 6A or a 2A? More importantly for me, do Specialized have a charger you can plug into a Car Cigarette lighter socket?

    Also you can purchase the Compact Charger from any other Country should you need to, just easily change the standard input cable or use an Intl. adaptor, it'll work in all countries as the input power voltage is flexible with 100-240V AC. This is also handy if: You're wealthy and are carrying...

    If you're touring un-assisted outside of the towns in Australia or similar & you wanna be a Gram Weenie or already are & don't want to or it's simply too large & heavy to carry a generator & you don't have a "Hack" to charge the batteries more directly (DC-DC, just like the discontinued "Travel...

    Time from order to delivery.

    A lawyer would probably say: it's simple, i'll draw up a waiver & disclaimer for the supplier as well as an expectations waiver & disclaimer for the customer. :)

    Hello From New Multicharger Rider!

    Yes, transitioning from "BioBikes" to SuperCharger: several in the first few weeks, then maybe one every 10 months or so.

    Time from order to delivery.

    Not sure how your recent Intl. shipments were "Triaged" or how complex the freight logistics were at the time or how many different ships it went on compared to pre-2020, or how many different companies the insurance had to pass through...

    I don't own or never have owned an expensive Trek e-MTB but at a guess it's probably because all owners get their recreation/trips done faster and because of this there's less time to pay attention to a larger screen and also benefit from getting home earlier allowing for more charging time.
