Sorry, but commute time matters. My current commute is 28 miles roundtrip and it is about 45-50 minutes one way with average speed 18-20 mph (class 3 pedal-assist ebike) Limiting the speed to 15mph will essentially move it 1h+ territory (+ time to park the bike, change closing, take shower) and...

I would also add missing or insufficient infrastructure for micromobility. Simple example from my personal commute experience - lower Manhattan West Side: there is 7(!) lines stroad there for cars and just a basic ~6 feet bike lane there. It is good lane, no question, but it is not sufficient to...

Well, he can use police to abuse the laws. And it is being done right now: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/05/05/nypds-red-light-criminalization-marks-obscene-escalation-advocates. Running red light in NYC can result in criminal summons at the moment. Even if it was when pedestrian signal was...

This just negates the purpose of the ebikes for lots of us. Also, even if introduced, I am very doubtful this can be enforced in any way. Just another stupid idea of bribe-taker major.

Are gen 4 bikes discounted in any way since the 5th gen is already available? I don't see the point to pay $10k+ for the previous gen. Also, even with 250W extra, it is just 1000Wh - I have same setup on my Gazelle right now - I was hoping for at least 1250Wh on the new bike. Looks like I need...

Little electricity, but lots of sun. So aolution is obvious - solar panel. If only leading world counries and their leads foxus on what is best for humanity, not on war, personal power, we would live in wonderdul world...

Just discovered this thread! Awesome work on disassembly and sharing all steps and photos - this is first full disassembly photos for Kindernay Hub I ever saw (may be the only available on Intetnet?). Design looks good, but all those uneven wear out issues is what differentiate the new...

I assume only their own brake rotors fit the setup? It in understandable, but kudos again to Kinderney, who was ableto keep standard rotors support in their VII model. How is the rotor overall? Which brakes setup do you use? I am using 2-piece Magura rotors with their MT5e brakes and 3x3 rotor...

I will most probably be close to 7k by end of this season - lets see if I am going to need to upgrade this year. I saw the sets with electronic shifter, great to see this option, but since I am on legacy Bosch platform it won't work. And I really don't want to go to rotary shifter and cable...

Any updates on this effort? Would be interesting to see high power mid motor + 3x3 hub combo.

Sad news :( How many miles have you got on yours? Mine first did ~1800 miles before dying (was very early version) and 2nd is currently at ~5800 miles (late version). Leaking like hell, but works so far... P.S. Thanks for sharing your progress with 3x3 - it might be a future path for all of...

Anyone knows why no SuperDelite5 with Pinion? Looks like artificial limitation to me... If to pay that much for an ebike it should be top notch from any angle!

There were short discussion here, however didn't see any owner to share the feedback here yet...

Mine get noisier as soon as most of oil leaks, which happens withing few weeks after each refill. How long ago did you refill yours? Do you have any leaks from hub?

Well, I try to do a regular checks for basic things every couple of weeks (or every 10 rides) - takes only a minute or two, but allows to spot things like broken spoke or wear out brake pad and top up air in the tires. Consider this a routine service, vs. more serious one, where I change an oil...

Interesting. I replaced mine several times already and didn't notice clear pattern when do to this - their state depends a lot about how much I ride, where do I ride and, most important, how many rainy rides I am doing. Usually I just check them every couple of weeks and replace as necessary.

What about them? Just replace as necessary. They don't need much attention, comparing to chain and cassette.

Or you can just use belt and forget about all these issues :cool:

Sad news. I was following their Valeo-based bikes, since they were supposed to be first in US with integrated hub+motor setup. Also, 2kW battery setup was unique as well. Now will have to wait what dual-batteries options will Bosch-powered bikes offer by next riding season - they definitely...

Ask your friend. Previous-gen Bosch motors used by C380+ doesn't have user-updateable firmware and requires Bosch-authorized dealer with special software to do that. If your friend happen to have one, he should know the changelog as well.
