I've spent a limited time with the SL bikes, I believe you can use a Garmin as the main head unit. I had my Levo SL hooked up to the TCD as well as Garmin and it seemed to work well. If you do go the Garmin route you can pair it with the Varia radar rear light to let you know what's approaching...

Ah, sounds like you had the transaxle from a 924 or 924s, very cool!! All of the front loaders have center stands making them very stable for the passenger to climb in and out. It's a little awkward the first few go arounds but it gets easier!

The Trek will certainly give you an idea of how a front loader can ride but they're not all created equal. Not by a long shot, IMO. The Trek is also overpriced compared to the UA or Cube FWIW. That said get some saddle time on them and go from there. The R&M's are a very "premium" product with...

We usually move a few UA's a year, all Cargo drive units though. The R&M Load family is by far the most popular though, different price point. I'd also encourage looking at the Cube Cargo model too, they're bringing an Enviolo equipped one in the states now. The Yuba is the least popular and...

You're quite welcome! The dealer special tool does a pretty darn good job at letting you know battery health, assuming your local shop has the tool. That's a great first step!

Upgrading to the TCD display is a great idea for the older Como/Vado bikes, then you'll have access to the mission control app and can modify what the levels do, ID make "1" a lower level of assist, or more. Your battery is pretty young and should still be fully capable as it was from the...

Ultimate family of bikes use the Powertube 500wh in the horizontal configuartion, yep it's the same! What frame style do you have? 2nd battery on high step frames mounts the battery to the seattube and wires into the system so they're used at the same time and charged through 1 charge port. I...

The R&M frame wouldn't brake in the first place...also given their dealer support I'm sure they'd move heaven and earth to take care of someone with a significant failure. RE guy in Ukraine, any Bosch dealer can perform that service work, by no means does it have to be a R&M dealer. That said...

If it was in a vehicle accident there's no telling what stresses the frame went under. It'd be a bad day to have the frame crack while riding... There aren't many forks that will fit the Como due to the huge headtube length. You should price out a stock Specialized fork if you want to go that...

The SD Mountain does have a traditional stem/nyon mount so any 31.6mm bar will work in there. Check out the Surly bars or the stock Specialized Como bars from the 1st gen Como, they've got a nice sweep to them if that's what you're after.

Looks like it's a non HS model? If that's the case that light is most likely wired all the way to the drive unit. The HS models have a different headlight and have a high/low feature. Those have a connector near the light so you can extend the wire if the bike is equipped with a front carrier...

There are adjustments to account for tire size changes but the overall parameters are controlled by the bike manufacturer that's agreed upon with Bosch. There can be changes made but it's a much more involved process. For instance Gazelle's Medeo T10+ had an updated size and if the support from...

According to Bosch small jumps are accounted for in the programming but large changes are discouraged and can cause damage/performance issues, at least that's what multiple service reps have said 🤷‍♂️

Lol bike shop bullshit? If you're looking to keep your effort in a particular wattage output and want to keep your cadence at a desired range then gearing is where you go. None of that is bullshit...

Whoever said that about the Topstone Neo 5 is completely wrong, see attached. The Topstone Neo Carbon 2 can also accept fenders, the rack would have to be a seatpost or axle mounted situation though, not a deal breaker necessarily. I hear ya on the alu fork, but not all alu forks are created...

What size RoadMachine? Cannondale Topstone Neo 5 fits all but the 625wh portion. I had one for my shop bike for about a year and it was like riding in a crit every day, so fun!! 20ish miles is no problem, as mentioned, charge while you're at work and you'll end up with a lighter more nimble...

Absolutely, you can remove either battery and the bike will work just fine. I'd invest in the R&M transport covers that will replace the battery and cover up the hole in the frame!

Ah bummer on the display, makes sense to use the Garmin! What drive unit do you have and/or what year is the bike?

The Delite has been updated to smart system, larger main battery and ability to add on the new Bosch range extender. What I was suggesting is there are some really good deals on the "outgoing" Delite. 51cm is a good size for your height, IMO!

What display do you have? The Bosch system has a cadence data field as well as rider wattage out put. What tire pressure are you at? Are you in turbo for the assist? Also, this is a HS bike, yes?
