Recording of workouts from third party apps without a watch is supported. The Health app even advertises compatible apps on different screens. Garmin seems to list what they can sync to HealthKit which does include workouts, but it depends on the device used. It also requires that the Garmin...

Third party apps should be able to write to HealthKit, and have it show up as exercise minutes. Komoot has done this for me, but I haven't tried Garmin's stuff for that. Komoot's issue is that it records so little information into HealthKit that it's not all that useful. But Komoot doesn't...

Just wanted to follow up and say that reversing the mount was exactly what I needed, and brings the Nyon right where I want it. Clever bit of engineering work there. :) After spending more time with it, I like it. The recording ability of rides is reliable, and the metrics through eBike Connect...

I’ve gotten a chance to use the eBike Connect app more with my 2021 Nyon, and have put together some initial feedback. Bugs: Speed graph for an activity is always in kph, ignoring the user’s settings. So while the activity details may say something like my average speed is 11.6mph, the graph...

I should have thought of that when I noticed the mounting plate was separate from the rest of the mount. That certainly looks like it’d bring it back a couple centimeters, which would help. I’ll give it a try. When it comes to bug reports for the eBike Connect app/portal, where’s a good place...

CPSC is given jurisdiction by classifying it as a consumer product, which is done in subsection (a). Yes, excluding it from motor vehicle safety standards is a bit of a hedge, but an important one to ensure that they don't fall into moped territory outside of CPSC jurisdiction. I did. The...

This is where legal terms get interesting, since they have their own meaning defined by laws, not the dictionary. So the legal definition can and will vary from the common definition, and are more focused on creating categories and including/excluding things from those categories. Reading...

My understanding is that the Purion’s wiring is integrated into the control/display? If that’s the case, you’d still need a motor drop and a new cable run.

I guess I’m a bit confused why it’s my tree you’re barking up on this topic. I’m not exactly a fan that Bosch did it this way, and I’m not interested enough in custom assist modes to shell out the 5$ for it either. But at least one person did seem curious if there would be problems for US...

This isn't news though? Not ideal, but not a surprise.

Got a bit of time with the Nyon today on a ride. Can't compare it to the previous version, but overall I'm happy with it. I'll need to get used to the larger screen, and spend some time customizing the screens. But at least with my eyes, it's not too small for my needs. Easier to see than the...

My Nevo is at the LBS for service, and to install the Nyon retrofit at the moment. Dropped it off Saturday, and will be able to pick it up in a couple days. Fingers crossed I can get some ride time with the Nyon this week.

Which is how the touch screen seems intentionally designed. To make it a bit easier to do things that you (should) do while not moving compared to the 4-way stick, but discourage folks from trying to chart a new GPS route while in the saddle. That said, it does seem more like the new Nyon is...

I can't say if it was true for previous Homages, but it is my understanding that this is correct if I understand your question correctly. You can get a little height by changing the angle on the stem, which also brings the handlebars back a little. If looking for a more upright position, it...

Nice CYA on their part:

Which Class 3 eMTBs are you referring to? I admit I haven’t looked at the breadth of the market, so I’m genuinely curious. Speaking of the bigger players though: for Trek at least, I see some class 3 Hybrids, but the CX is the motor used on the eMTBs. Specialized’s website isn’t terribly great...

Big companies building bikes that are meant to wind up on these multi-purpose paths and trails are not going to flout the regulations. These older brands especially are the ones that have built up the internal bureaucracy to track and adhere to regulations in the markets that they operate. So...

This seems like a good chunk of it. While the US is a hodge-podge of rules right now, it is skewing towards a variation of the Euro model. Class 1/2 getting access to traditional bike infrastructure (although eMTB is a mess in my area), while Class 3 are more like unlicensed mopeds. So where I’m...

I ride similarly. Thankfully, now that I'm getting more active again, and actually bothered to set the tire pressure properly, I find myself in Tour or Eco most of the time, and Sport when I need speed or oomph. Turbo is really there for climbing hills or getting out an intersection in a hurry...

Ain't that the truth, but I'd argue that the cars just make people more dangerous when they aren't paying attention. On my last ride, I came to a four way stop while two cars were coming the other way to the stop. I yielded to the first, entered the intersection to turn left (crossing the...
