Yes, ebikes are such great equalizers in many circumstances!

Yes, you are exactly correct about the detection of the speed change. I thought about that after I posted. Thanks for the correction and elaboration on 2 speed sensors!

Yes, I certainly could, but I don't see how they could detect my badass device unless they changed the sensor somehow.

Seems this would be a software change so if current owners never had their software updated it wouldn't impact them, imho.

I installed one of these on my Trek XM700 and I never noticed the difference. As I understand it these work best on Road Bikes because of the drop handlebars. Anyone else want to chime in if they have flat handlebars and how these stems perform?

I have a class 3 eBike that I purchased first and later I purchased a class 1 mtn eBike. Both eBikes are used only on the road. Of course after experiencing the class 3 eBike and a 28 mph assist, the class 1 eBike with a 20 mph assist was rather annoying. It isn’t that I want to ride much beyond...

Thank you, a very thorough explanation!

How does the using the assist levels to activate or deactivate the Bikespeed RS work?

imho, this ebike is not worth anywhere near $5,199. It does not even have front suspension!

You are looking at around $1,000 for that battery! Propel ebikes in Brooklyn would be a place to look and they usually have them in stock.

I know this is not the same, but I use the following cable on my Bosch system with the Intuvia computer and it charges my iPhone properly. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074PMMSQR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Is the chip still working properly?

You are correct after I posted this I found a vendor with software and hardware for a conversion in Europe. Do you have a vendor in the US?

Very nice changes to the mid-drive, like lower weight, no drag in off or past cut-off mode, quieter, more efficient, etc. https://www.bosch-ebike.com/us-en/news/interbike-2017/

Has anyone researched a switch from the Bosch Performance CX to the Speed Motor? Curious if Bosch would allow it and what it might cost. Thanks

Very nice, but would prefer the 28 mph motor!

I don't have an answer, but would like to ask how do you check battery hours and how are you resetting? Do you have an Intuvia on that ebike?

I have a friend that just purchased the Giant Road-E+ Yamaha powered eBike and he said he rode in the lowest assist level for 30 miles and at the end of the ride his Yamaha computer said he had 78% left. That would translate to 136 miles which is about what you indicated. I have a Trek XM700+...

How many assist levels does the Yamaha have and what percentage assist per level? Bosch has four assist levels @ 50%, 120%, 190%, 275% for the Bosch speed unit.

I wanted a 500 watt battery for my XM700, but was reluctant to spend $900+ for a battery. I also wanted a smoother ride. So when the 2018 Powerfly 5 was introduced with the wonderful slot in the downtube for the battery I found my solution. I purchased the Powerfly 5 and now I have a 500 watt...
