    TREK Domane+ 2019, thoughts, price, issue?

    No that is my tool kit. I hate seatbags and unlike the Haibike Race there mounting spaces for two water bottle cages!

    TREK Domane+ 2019, thoughts, price, issue?

    Just replaced my second Haibike Race S 6.0 (both with cracked frames in the exact same spot) with the Domane +. What a bike—feels like I am riding a Ferrari compared to the Haibike. The carbon frame produces a much more comfortable ride. So far it looks like this is the exact bike I envisioned...

    5 Bosch Display Choices - Good, Bad and Ugly

    I have ridden a Haibike Race S 6.0 for a year and a half, essentially on a daily basis. I purchased a Nyon unit from Europe before I ever received the bike and changed out the Intuvia unit for the Nyon before riding the bike for the first time. I very much like the custom screens but do not use...

    Class I--15 vs. 20 mph

    All interesting comments which I enjoy reading--thanks. Every 6 months or so I check what's new out there but I am so happy with my Haibike Race that I have no motivation to get anything else. Of course the options for a road bike with drop bars (which is what I ride and would only be interested...

    Class I--15 vs. 20 mph

    You mean user-adjustable for speed or assist level?

    Class I--15 vs. 20 mph

    At the end of the day I have stuck with my Haibike Race S 6.0, which I ride daily to the tune of 20-40 miles and 2000-4000 feet of climbing. I have sort of changed my approach from my original thinking, when I felt like I needed to get something as close to my carbon road bike in weight as...

    A generalized eBike design Amateur Cyclists can relate to and compare against

    Yes that is how I try to ride. I have to admit that I have not kept up closely with ongoing developments but would certainly be interested in exploring them should your ideas materialize.

    A generalized eBike design Amateur Cyclists can relate to and compare against

    Yes I have the Nyon which I got from Europe and it has what has made my bike a success for me. I agree with Ken that one cannot really force fit ebikes into the conventional road bike world, but I had to come to this realization because that is initially exactly what I wanted to do. For example...

    A generalized eBike design Amateur Cyclists can relate to and compare against

    Yes it is a Class 3. Given your further comments about what you need I understand why it is a challenge. As you continue your quest I would encourage you to try bikes that have both completely customizable assist levels AND assist-speed profiles for those levels. While not perfect those will...

    A generalized eBike design Amateur Cyclists can relate to and compare against

    I am a former top-end carbon road bike rider who now exclusively rides a Haibike Race S 6.0. I ride several hours every day and always up and down the hills of Marin County north of San Francisco. I have many conversations with road bikers who express similar views to yours and in fact mine...

    Creaking frame

    Seat post for me as well. Happens regularly after a few months of riding. Pulling out the post, wiping it off, lightly re-lubricating and reinstalling fixes it in 5 minutes. It was enormously annoying before I figured this out!

    Nyon Upgrade in USA worked out of the box!

    Thanks for the responses. I have the 8 gb model and just went ahead and upgraded to 2.6.0.2 (latest for that model). At first glance seems to be working correctly but will fully test in ride today. Hopefully it will improve the responsiveness of my unit so I get more instantaneous readout of...

    Nyon Upgrade in USA worked out of the box!

    Alaskan and Rune: Can I ask what firmware version you are currently running on your Nyon? Thanks!

    Nyon Upgrade in USA worked out of the box!

    As far as I know you can only get it through a European App Store. I created a U.K. iTunes account and got it there. Have to jump through a number of hoops but it can be done.

    Bosch Nyon display in USA - Any advice or suggestions?

    BTW Martin at e-bikeshop UK is very active on the Pedelecs forum and is very knowledgeable about all things Bosch including Nyon. His email is [email protected]. He was very helpful as I tried to get this all put together. I am sure if you email him and describe your situation and the error...

    Bosch Nyon display in USA - Any advice or suggestions?

    That's frustrating. Do you know what firmware version your Nyon has? I don't think changing the controller base will have any effect--basically the same mounting base is used/sold for both.

    Bosch Nyon display in USA - Any advice or suggestions?

    I have intentionally avoided updating the firmware on my Nyon--that because I have read many reports of people who did so being unable to get their unit to work without sending it to Bosch. Mine worked fine with the firmware it came with, which is Version 2.5.0.0. I don't know what the update...

    Bosch Nyon display in USA - Any advice or suggestions?

    I purchased a Nyon unit from Europe and it worked perfectly as soon as I plugged it into my Haibike Race S 6.0. I did swap out the controller so I would have the toggle button in the remote controller, but the Intuvia controller did work to change the assistance level. The only challenge comes...
