Yes, the 2A, 4A and 6A chargers in the bottom row will all work and differ by charging rate, price, size/weight

Three things, hopefully something useful in here for you. 1. Unfortunately, Rohloff is responsible for the E14 system up to a certain point, then it's Bosch. My understanding is that any problem first is analyzed for "who is responsible?" 2. I am surprised AUS-Rohloff has been useless. I was...

Only the top charger is compatible with your bike. It charges at a rate of 6A. The lower charger is a 4A charger compatible (different plug) with Bosch's recently introduced 'Smart System,' which did not exist at the time of your bike's manufacture. The dealer software is quite limited; I would...

MARC (Maryland regional rail) just put stickers on the "bikes welcome" signs disallowing ebike/e-mobility charging. I had to disconnect this past week. Not a problem for phones/laptops, which I don't understand given the number of recalls over the years for particular models presenting a fire...

Hi — the reason your dealer is refusing to facilitate your plan is likely bc R&M will not support many trailers on their Control Technology (full suspension Homage/Delite/Load) models or step-thrus (Homage/Delite). You may obtain a list of supported trailers from R&M. The only one I recognized...

The rapid transition from “information wants to be free” to “trading some freedom for security” mindset shocked me. It’s also the miniaturization of components. 1998-2000, while I was in college, I’d go bid on crates of UNIX workstations at NASA auctions. It was for a project in parallel...

Thank you for the kind words. I think one issue here is the lack of “standard” pricing/transparency. There Is tremendous variability, probably a function of the relationship you have with the shop, as well as how the shop has structured their business practice. I’m pretty sure Bosch lets dealers...

I don’t disagree — the customer should have the option of keeping the motor. It is also an interesting topic. Truthfully, that a couple of vendors advertise a Bosch motor at $850 doesn’t tell me much. I don’t see ”authorized Bosch distributor/service center” I have no idea if this is the cost...

I suspect one aspect of this is that the price at which you purchase a new motor is based on return of the “core” to rebuild it, similar to car battery purchase. i think most Bosch owners here would want Bosch USA to have their motor in stock, and just for that reason would not put up a fuss...

The key word here is proprietary. I seem to recall being told by someone who would know that this is why Bosch demands return of the inoperative motor. Grain of salt bc I can’t remember who told me …

I can cite my experience. I had a performance Line HS motor failure in Washington, DC. under warranty. My dealer is remote but contacted Bosch, who authorized the motor swap. I chose a DC Trek dealer in Georgetown, DC which was the Bosch-certified bike shop closest to my motor failure. To flash...

I was under the impression that if you disconnect the BMS from power, it suicides by design.

I have the new LinkGlide system on my RM Load 60. It’s supposed to triple chain life. I’m at about 2400 miles and 0.5 wear.

I’ll say that someone riding by playing their tunes on a speaker is not uncommon in cities like nyc or dc. It’s not that big a deal when you also have honking, people shouting in different languages, wheelie boyz and what-not in the mix.

Best state, best flag :)

Well it appears to be available from Amazon UK … https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-Adapter-Dual-Battery-Rechargeable-Y-Adapter/dp/B071K8VG9X

It also says “taking preorders” :(

A 9sp Alivio is a far better drivetrain than a 10sp Deore? The OP is considering a new QH P9, not a 2022 Vektron.

I just looked up the QH P9. The Vektron advantages are that it’s a real folder, if you need this feature, has a better drivetrain (10sp Deore vs 9sp Alivio) and the fully adjustable Andros stem. It weighs about 1.5lbs less, so that’s a draw. What I can tell you about the 2017 Vektron S10 is...

Why does the 2017 need a new battery? I own a 2017 Vektron with 5K miles, and everything is working like new. Incidentally, you should be able to get a new PowerPack 500 for about $800 if you can pick it up. The original Vektron came with the PP400, but I upgraded at the time. How hilly? I’ve...
