Yes good point as the power setting will have a major effect of the assistance level for any speed up to the speed limit. I did assume that to get the most assist in the appropriate gear the motor would be in Turbo mode. This "Stephen" is generally using Tour or Eco for local touring with...

Hi Steve, Not sure if there is a power curve posted for the standard Gen4 Bosch and its HS version but certainly this comparison graph would suggest that the Bosch CX compares favourably with other options. If peak power assist is between a cadence of 70 and 100 and 28mph is approx 44 km hour...

I also seem to have the hit and miss option when finishing a ride. I have tried both Kiox removal when on, removal when off, off and on while connected and still often end up with ride in progress. I do finish in an underground garage so perhaps the lack of GPS signal might be a factor. I will...

10% as shown on Kiox display so I would assume the motor cutout criteria uses this as the limit. Cheers

Thanks for the answer Chris. Sometimes helpful to be able to access a few extra kilometers. Perhaps some at Bosch might remember the early model VW beetles where there was a supplementary fuel tank you could switch over when the main ran out. Not sure if this made it to the US but certainly...

Not sure whether the motor cutout on low battery is set by the bike manufacturer or whether related to the Bosch motor/battery control software. I have an R&M delite Gen 4 with Rohloff hub and I understand the motor cutout is programmed to leave about 2 hours of lights and eshift capability...

I look forward to hearing how you find the Delite but have no reason to expect your experience will be different to mine. I did get the CX option and have changed tyres to Moto-X and had the LBS remove the larger pannier rack which I will re-install for touring type trips rather use for local...

Hi Mackie, Not sure if you have made any progress on getting an ebike but just thought I would pass on my own experience having recently purchased an R&M Gen4 Delite. I now have ridden about 600 km and I am finding the bikes suitability for a range of cycling experiences just keeps getting...

Thanks for flagging that option, I will know for the future. It seems that in that forum David Berry has already covered a lot of suggestions for improvements to the Kiox so his comments are far more comprehensive than mine so no need to repost. Cheers Stephen

Hi Jay, My Delite was at the LBS for more than a week and the fork was sent to the Suntour Agent in Melbourne for warranty repair. I did ask LBS if they could get Suntour to give me some feedback on what was done. Reply back from Suntour via LBS was "Yes it was the air piston that wasn’t...

Hi David, Yes perhaps I have some differences due to the Rohloff Ratios that I referenced in the link in my original thread. They suggest total overall range is actually 526% and quote these specific figures below which are the ones I have used . So my calculations and graph were based on...

Hi Dave, Yes my graph gives 55.54 kmh at cadence of 90 and my calcs give 10.47 metres per revolution in top gear. Not a significant difference so perhaps related to variations in the tyre circumference used. The original circumference I used was based on this data. For Schwalbe Super Moto-X...

Just thought I would try and quantify relationship between Speed and Cadence for my Gen4 Rohloff Delite. I have used 2260mm circumference for my Schwalbe Moto X with 60 tooth chain ring and 19 tooth pinion for calcs. Rohloff Ratios from here...

David, Maybe in hindsight this is the primary cause of your most recent belt problem. Motto " Don't tempt fate" :D:D:D:D Cheers Stephen

Jay, I gather this is a matter of removing the desired number of 10mm spacers as the travel to some extent is dictated by the number of spacers in place, more spacers = less travel. Whether removal of the spacers might impact on warranty of fork or bike is an answer others might provide...

Hi Jay, Hopefully someone will come back to both of us with a 3000 km -30,000 km positive experience of Suntour Aion. We were in Melbourne for the Australian Open Tennis and were very impressed with Melbournes cycling infrastructure compared with Sydney. We did a cycling tour of the city...

SUNTOUR AION Front Fork Problem. I have had my Delite for a few weeks and within about 200 km of usage the front fork lost pressure. (CX 140mm travel but only ridden on tarmac at this stage). Pumped the fork back up to 90 psi and it was back to no pressure overnight. Locked out the front...

Hi Fellow R&M Riders, I have posted the following in the Accessories section of the Forum as Kiox applies to various brands. If you have other suggestions perhaps track down Bosch Kiox Upgrade:- Suggestions and Improvements here...

I have sent the following through to Bosch via "Contact Bosch" on their website. I will keep you posted on their response. If others have upgrade suggestions or agree with this one and wish to also contact Bosch perhaps we can track any communications and feedback from Bosch in this thread. In...

Hi, I now have my Delite but as indicated it was always my intention with the CX to just remove the rear rack and refit on the few occasions when required. When I definitely do need a rack the capacity of the pannier rack might be insufficient. LBS has refitted rear light to guard as shown...
