Those mainstream mid drives such as Bosch etc may not do 25mph on a hilly area depending on the grade and they are by no means an upgrade over your yamaha. If you are ok with going slower just unlock your Yamaha and buy an additional battery, it will be the same. Those diy options tdsz2 and...

Quite frankly 600 for 8 years is nothing and I think you can fix your bike and use your new battery. I was able to find Stromer controllers for your bike on ebay for reasonable prices. Idk what the situation is now. And if you can't why don't you get in touch with ASI, they may have a...

Sounds about right. You need a lot of power to climb %14 at high speeds , like 15mph, depending on how much you weight and how much effort you put yourself which a mainstream mid drive will not provide. I am also living in a very hilly area, %10+ is literally every other block with lots of %22+...

Are you having a delay in the response or the response not being proportional to your input? Those are usually the problems with these systems. What is the grade of the hills you are climbing and your average speed while doing so?

That is quite a misfortune. Maybe it is the climate you are riding in but you have been riding since summer so idk. Chains can be great especially when waxed. But if you want an almost maintenance free bike I think belt is the way to go. That FLX seems quite the value with some good...

I believe updates are reversible, not by the riders though. Stromer seems to have the CA option in all of the the previous firmwares. But the option to switch to non-CA was open to the riders via service menu and seems that is what the sellers did when selling these bikes. Now with the new...

I am not endorsing it, do it at your own risk. No encryption or special comms needed, you can also 3d print your own adapter. You can find videos such as this one which pretty much gives all the info you need. Any trainer should work it is about your wheel and tires. If for some reason you...

Good point. I was planning to switch tubes if I switch. However I have a feeling that it should still work since fibers will still be carried to the hole and they will get stuck and build up. These are tilting me towards flatout, it seems to be a bit better. Flatout seems to have some...

And some online resources.

I am about to put/refresh tube sealants. I was going to go for Slime 2in1 as I have always used slime(red version and it seems this is the new formula) but then found out about Flatout which is stated to be superior compared to Slime. I was wondering if I should switch to Flatout? It seems...

My experience with Slime has been very positive. I don't think it actually has a psi rating. I used it on my bikes, well over 60 psi. At one time the tires needed inflating every couple rides, after filling the tube with slime they keept pressure even after a month. One should be careful is...

You are overthinking. As stated above you can program and limit the power output of the motor to stay legal and still enjoy your bike. It is 750W in the States which is a very good amount. While I myself don't need that kind of power I understand that people may have different needs. For...

I wouldn't risk it, especially for the charger and battery. Btw, I remember you were having an issue with your st3 I guess they replaced it with an st5, how are you liking it so far?

I am not buying the "you can't afford Bosch" argument. What is it that you afford? Similar power to mainstream mid drives, similar pedal feel, noisier then some. At this point Bosch's practice seems looks awfully familiar. Give a good warranty but after the warranty make it as hard and...

You have my utmost respect and when it comes to touring with Bosch mid drives you know the best. You have brought some interesting points so let me elaborate. The $450 figure was a guess for the manufacturing cost. You are correct, when warranty is introduced the price will definitely increase...

I understand your point but I dont think it is the case. First of all given the prices of the parts it is highly unlikely that this motor costs more then $850 to manufacture(I would be surprised if the manufacturing cost is more than half of that (~450), also you can purchase them without...

Your complaint is completely valid and you have every right to seek an answer. I wish you didn't let them return the motor though. I don't believe that being "proprietary" means the company can ask an item which is already paid off back for nothing. Once again if it was an exchange or warranty...

I can imagine how frustrated you are since it was your way of transportation and you actually chased those scum. I even had nightmares where something similar was happening to me. Thieves are the ones to blame and they should be prosecuted accordingly. That being said, you are taking the...

Stop making nonsense assumptions who said anything about european grey market etc. wth ? I am talking about brand new motors that are sold and shipped by online bike shops in the States. And the price is also in $800s. Also it should be possible to simply give the bikes model/vin number to...

What setup are you talking about? The only problem maybe tire circumference since Bosch likes to lock it and even in that case it can be communicated with the seller to make sure that it comes right or pay a bosch lbs $50 to change it with the dongle they have. Whatever, let's not change the topic.
