    Reduced eBike range in *really* cold weather?

    wow - that looks seriously cold indeed! I doubt NZ will get anything comparable to that, except in a once in ten years snow storm. With 1000wh in the SC2 I'm not going to run out anytime soon, just slightly more frequent charging expectations I suspect. Thanks for the replies and insights team!

    Reduced eBike range in *really* cold weather?

    Yes, that's the number I likely would have landed on as well - in that vicinity. Not sure why I perhaps didn't detect this as much last winter, but really have noticed it a bit more the last few weeks. Pleased it's not just a rapid degradation of the batteries themselves. Interestingly...

    Kiox fails to BT pair on Smart System

    Thanks mate!! This is a bit frustrating - not buying the “base model” and yet getting out of date manuals. Also frustrating that this smart system doesn’t have the active brake light system (& going to cost me another $500 to retrofit it!)

    Kiox fails to BT pair on Smart System

    I’ll check that. I see on double checking the manual there is no mention at all of Kiox 300 or Smart System so it appears I got an “old” manual:

    Kiox fails to BT pair on Smart System

    At the 3:25 mark of this video he explains there are in fact THREE eBike apps from Bosch and how confusing this is. One upside to Smart System - the disable motor feature is free (I believe you had to pay a one time fee on old eBike connect app to get this functionality). It’s paired to BT so...

    Reduced eBike range in *really* cold weather?

    Wow! That's hot. My Specialized Turbo Levo can regularly get up to 60 degrees Celcius after a ride according to the app. Not sure if that's the battery or the motor....

    Reduced eBike range in *really* cold weather?

    Yes, I also just found this: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/nz/news/safely-through-the-winter-with-the-ebike#:~:text=The%20battery%20is%20the%20most,shortly%20before%20your%20next%20journey. My garage sits around 12 degrees in winter (attached to the house internally) and that's where I charge...

    Reduced eBike range in *really* cold weather?

    Hi Team, Winter has hit in my part of the world and it's cold by our standards: That's 10am. IT's been cold all week and I'm anecdotally observing the range on my SC2 seems to be dropping faster than I'd expect. I'm half wondering if this is simply psychosomatic and self-fulfilling, or...

    Kiox fails to BT pair on Smart System

    I can sign in and the BT connection with the Flow app does work to the Kiox, yes.

    Kiox fails to BT pair on Smart System

    What was also frustrating was that after I signed up for the eBike Connect via the app, that username and password didn't work in the Flow app. I had to create a new Bosch account for that one.... strange!

    Kiox fails to BT pair on Smart System

    @fooferdoggie - will need to check the manual again but pretty sure it was pointng me to the eBike Connect app as that is what I went explicitly searching for in the iOS App store and I'd never used that before... no mention of the Flow App

    Kiox fails to BT pair on Smart System

    Bang on @BlackHand - thank you! Instructions that came with bike referenced eBike Connect app so had that installed and profile created and therefore the problem. Found the eBike Flow app (not obviously a Bosch app to be fair) and then it paired immediately. Thanks lads!

    Kiox fails to BT pair on Smart System

    Hi, My wife’s Multicharger with Smart System snd 750w battery arrived - woohoo. Kiox is new to me, and having pairing issues: I think I’m doing everything right but just not connecting / tried on my iPhone too, no joy. Anything obvious? Eventually Kiox times outs and exits pairing mode...

    Changing rear light on Nevo3

    Here is the quote from LBS if others interested: For the brake light setup you will need: Levers x 2 $100 each Light x 1 $125 Reflector x 1 $10 Wiring x 2 estimated at $40 each Labour - allow 2 hours @$85 = $170

    Changing rear light on Nevo3

    Interesting - explains why my SC2 has it - but we did test ride a Nevo 3 not a HS model and it had brake light - same as your wife’s I guess…. @JVBulman any idea if this a big job? Hope it’s not a hard thing to retrofit ….

    Changing rear light on Nevo3

    This is timely as looking at a Multicharger Mixte for my wife that we looked at today - Vario + Belt drive: I did note it had no brake light and appears same model you had above @DiggyGun. Which was strange as there was a standard Multicharger there too but with Touring drive train and that...

    Pannier bags on R&M Multicharger

    Hi all, Just looked at a 2022 Multicharger Mixte for my wife - she’s quite smitten as she was tiring of “throwing a leg over” my SuperCharger 2! Will swap out the bars on the back for standard cushion for the kids as they don’t need the bars to hold on and be safe (10-12yrs) and also...

    Rohloff e-14 oil leak

    Timely.. I’m considering a custom build for a (non electric) adventure bike & want to go Rohloff. I’d been thinking this week about this thread & the dreaded oil leaks! Looks like you’re cranking out good distance on your bike too!

    Project 529 for Bike Registration and Theft Recovery

    Hi All, I know we are all keen to protect our prized bikes - I came across https://project529.com/ today and whilst it has its origins in North America, it's supported by my local police in Christchurch - New Zealand! Very surprising indeed. Anyway, I've registered my bikes with it now -...
