I highly doubt Bosch will release a 745 Wh+ battery in 2021. They have already announced what's coming in 2021, and it's a 625 Wh battery. They already offer a Dual Battery with double that, but it also costs twice as much, and isn't available in PowerPack format, so it does me no good. And the...

@Ravi Kempaiah I believe they've already been announced along with the Bosch Cargo Line motors; but they're only 625 Wh. The Bosch battery and motor options, even with the latest releases, are still lagging the rest of the industry unfortunately. For instance, the torque numbers on the new Cargo...

Ok, I managed to order the battery... almost. The vendor in question is a small shop in Germany. As many vendors in Europe apparently do (I've had to deal with the same thing getting service for our HPV Scorpion), they ask for an international wire transfer. Don't ask me why, it seems horribly...

@Mike TowpathTraveler you're welcome ;). I don't like to be an early adopter, but I've proven the value of e-bikes in my own life now as a car replacement for the past 3 years, and since the battery technology itself is well established if not this specific battery, I figure it's worth the...

So I wanted to also try using a Cycle Satiator from Grin as I mentioned, which will require using their 4-pin adapter paired with E-bike Vision's Bosch adapter for their own charger. However, I could only find the latter on ridewill.it so I broke down and registered so I could be notified when...

So I found a European vendor willing to ship to the US that had a battery in stock. I'm currently in negotiations with them about the shipping price for hazardous materials, they quoted me 53 euros, which seems quite reasonable, but they also referred to my location as the 'Sunshine State'...

Oh, I see now. So I would need to get an adjustable/programmable benchtop power supply, set it to the correct voltage (and amperage?) and figure out how to wire it into the BMS--I assume by soldering it onto the same contact points on the BMS. Then I would need to desolder the BMS from the...

Ok, thanks. The guy rebuilding the Bosch Classic+ just desoldered the BMS from the battery before the re-cell, then re-soldered afterward. I wonder if that works on the Powerpacks as well.

...or not. Where can you buy these? They seem to only be available in the EU, with no shipping options to the US.

Hello, I recently noticed that the range on both of our e-bikes, a R&M Homage GT Nuvinci, and an HP Velotechnik Scorpion FS20 with Go SwissDrive system, have been greatly diminished and it looks like they are reaching end-of-life on both bikes. The R&M battery is at about 1/10th and the HPV...

My Bosches are nearing end-of-life and I think I'm going to get the 745 Wh battery they now make as Powerpack replacements.

My Bosches are nearing end-of-life after 3 years, at about 1/10th their original range, and I'm getting ready to repack them. I've watched people successfully repacking Bosch batteries on Youtube, are these pople not being honest? These were Bosch Classic+ batteries though, not Powerpacks. Do...

Strange to hear about Super Moto-X failures - ours have been bomb proof through broken glass, rocky trails, curb drops, sidewall impacts, et cetera over 1500 miles and running. Not quite up to snuff (as far as sure-footedness, not durability) for truly technical or extreme downhill mountain...

Ah, I found the answer to my last question finally after a little more searching. And the magic search term is... crowfoot. Apparently I need a crowfoot wrench set as it's called. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0719BLYH3/ref=psdc_553412_t1_B000NPUJNA

@David Berry I also ordered one from HollandBikeShop.com, in my case for my HPV Scorpion trike, and haven't been happy with the Ergo. The handle is garbage; the straps have pulled out of it twice on me when attempting to secure a large load. Unfortunately, the handle on the R&M version, which...

@Gullet9955 I would love to, but it isn't my key to share, it belongs to my mechanic. I'm trying to find a way to get a legitimate license; I couldn't find a way to do it online, it's probably via some sort of secure web portal for mechanics and dealers only.

I'm pleased to report having a little egg on my face, although I still can't recommend GSD, and only reluctantly recommend HPV to US buyers of trikes. Apparently the new motor was not providing any assistance because it was a static test - I had the rear wheel suspended with no load. This is...

Wow, well really frustrated with all of GSD, HP Velotechnik and my local distributor/mechanic at this point. After a shipping delay, HPV got the 3rd motor out. To be fair, breaking the axle on the second motor was my fault/an act of the torque-wrench-miscalibration gods. However, after...

That guy on the German YouTube channel responded; between his poor English and my lack of German, the communication isn't great, but he seems to suggest that once I take it apart, the change detected in the sensors will essentially brick it without re-calibration. My mechanic gave me access to...

Well it looks pretty easy assuming you have a replacement axle, but I hope I don't need a hydraulic press...
