Strange, their manual clearly states it comes pre-filled. How do even know if it filled? 20ml is very small amount to clearly see if it is there or not. How do you knew it was not filled? Note, that hub is not supposed to be fully filled with oil. Originally (back in 2020) the instructions was...

Yes, this is normal sound. It will became a bit quieter with a time, but still will be noisy comparing to other hubs I used. Hubs comes pre-filled with oil and the bottle you received is for first oil change after first 500km (bottle should have the sticker explaining this). Kindernay have...

1. Speed depends on your bike charger, not on station. I used the fastest available for Bosch-powered ebikes, which is 6A and all the numbers are for this charger. 2. This was free station (up to 2 hours), so I paid nothing. You can calculate the cost yourself, but it still be very cheap since...

There are two versions (6 bolt and 7 bolt) and 3 sizes (135x10, 142x12, or 148x12mm) for Kindernay VII, so you choose what you prefer while ordering. They offer both from the beginning, since original hub I had was pre-ordered in September 2020, months before they start shipping them.

Yes! This is another reason I choose VII over XIV (in addition to price and unwanted extra gears for ebike). Standard mount is so much better! Using it with Magura MDR-P 180mm rotors on both wheels and breaks work great!

What is the connection of the display to Gazelle app? I have Bosch Nyon display installed and I have Bosch app, which connects to it, but original discussion was about Gazelle own app (and own hardware installed into the bike).

Got the replacement Kindernay VII hub few days back and it looks quite different from the early one I had before (original hub photos are here): 1. The surface is matte now, not glossy. 2. The break disk rotor side manufactured completely different way: old hub was cnc-machined, new is...

Thanks but this is different issue. In mu case I got issues to shifting up to a specific gear - other gears worked well. Issue on the link is a shift up/down issue for all gears. Update regarding hub - Kindernay accepted RMA and I am about to ship my faulty hub to them and expect to get a...

This sounds promising that issue is specific to my hub, not the model itself. In my case most oil is leaking via shifter - the bottom of the shifter cap (the black part which connects to hub for shifting) is almost always covered with oil leaked from the hub - I start having this since first...

OK, looks like my Kindernay VII hub is dying after ~1700-1800 miles ridden from April 2022. 😭😭😭 Starting last week I start getting frequent skips on 4th and 5th gear, and on weekend ride I lost the 5th gear completely. It is simply not get engaged and instead I am getting 4th with some...

Schwalbe Marathon GT 365? I bought them as winter tires for this season - they are marketed as all-year-any-weather, but probably too aggressive for commuting on good surfaces.

Updates regarding the shifting issue. As advised by Kindernay I did bleed the shifters and change the oil in the rear hub. Issue gone (at least after short ride I did today - will get better idea after couple of commutes). Interesting fact - hub was almost empty - I was able to squeeze only few...

I think the default cables all have some extra length to allow that. Unfortunately my setup is not relevant anymore since I replaced all cables already...

Don't see any problem here - any handlebar with 31.8mm stem mount diameter will work.

Well, I will try. So, normally when you shift and press the lever, you feel a bit of resistance, then click and shifting is done. Now for my 1-4th and 7th everything still same, but when I try to shift to 5th/6th there is no click/switch, the lever just goes far end, all next presses are...

After about 1500 miles I start getting issues with shifting: switching to 5th and 6th gear is really problematic, other gears are fine. This probably means the shifter is fine and the issue is in hub? Anyone has/had something like this? Any ideas what can I do? Going to contact Kindernay about...

Roads are only for cars, parking is only for cars, charging is only for cars, country is only for cars! So much wasted opportunities for US with this crazy car-centric mindset.

I do this for a year already and that's why I except some parity with the cars in some aspects (including access to EV chargers or dedicated charging ability when required). But majority still consider bikes/e-bikes as things for fun only, which is completely not true.

Thanks, didn't ask for advice here. Not sure why do you even care to come to this thread if you consider this unsafe and unlawful. I don't, so I shared my experience with others who agree with me.
