    E-Bike Insurance

    My concern when I got my ebike 1.5 years ago was not so much theft or loss in a fire but what if I cause someone to swerve out of a lane because of my negligence or carelessness and it causes a vehicular collision. I may be over-thinking this but I was a Safety Resource Officer for OSHA...

    Sunglasses & E-bikes, what works?

    Good news! - Smartphone Hub

    Pretty much the same here plus the USB cable fails to seat securely in the USB port. The smartphone holder feels cheap and flimsy.

    Roadster touring off motor pedaling

    I have a 2020 ROADSTER VARIO. Although it's my second ebike and I hadn't ridden an analog bike for 30 years prior to owning an ebike, I notice no motor drag when pedaling with motor assist OFF. Other than moderate/severe inclines and strong headwinds, I use OFF the majority of the time.

    Enviolo hub cable life?

    My hub is on a Riese and Muller Roadster Vario with a Bosch Performance Line CX motor and a Gates belt. I've got about 1,600 miles on it over the last 3 months. The cables seem to be fine but I read on one of the forums that the cables should be replaced yearly.

    How can I partially discharge Bosch battery?

    Sadly, no USB port. The Bosch manual says 30%-60% charge for storage.
