    New battery question

    Evening people, I recently purchased a Bosch Powerpack 500 watt hrs to replace my spent 400 watt hr battery. Does anything have to be reset on the Intuvia display or the bike itself because my mileage listed at full charge now, is pretty much the same as with the lower wattage battery? I was...

    Signs just put up on my home town bike path.

    NO E-BIKES, SCOOTERS OR ANY MOTORIZED VEHICLE ON BIKE PATH (NYC GREENWAY). Been riding this route for the last 20 years and my daily routine for the last 4 years on my e-bike. Never had any issues except for the "Spandex" riders whizzing by with no consideration for others or the speed limit...

    Strange Charging Occurrence

    A couple of weeks back, after a ride, I normally charged my battery only this time the range on my Bosch Intuvia didn't change. The range at turbo mode read 11 miles, the same as when it started charging. Battery and the display had 5 bars (fully charged). I figured, time for a new battery but...

    Do you wear a mask when you ride?

    Depending upon my surroundings, human that is, I do wear one. If no one is in close proximity, I'd slip it down and give my nostrils a break. My go-to bike path can get somewhat crowded at times.

    Tire wear question.

    How many miles do people get on their tires. Is there a way to check tire wear like the top of Lincoln's head on penny for an automobile tire?

    Afternoon, Does a waning battery drain quicker as it gets older? I have a 2 year old 400 watt Bosch battery that seems to be drain more rapidly then I seem to remember. It only has about 100 full charges on it and when fully charged it does read within a few miled shorter then when new. I...

    Has anybody completely resolved their intermittent system shut down issue?

    Morning all, I'm still getting an arbitrary system shut down. It may not happen one day but then it could occur 3 or 4 times the following day. Sometimes right after each other or with a decent amount of time in between. I would intentionally jiggle the Intuvia display or the battery when...

    Speed limit, not class limit!

    I purchased my class 3 bike because it had all of the components I considered important. Speed not necessarily being one of them. I wanted it to be lightweight, a better than average drivetrain, and to look like a bicycle, not a motorcycle. I just wanted to be able ride a bicycle again...

    Bosch Speed Performance system shuts down mid ride.

    Afternoon people, I’m in a bit of a dilemma these days with my Bosch Speed Performance powered Felt 85 Sport E. For some reason, with no apparent catalyst, the entire system goes completely dead in the middle of a ride. It’s completely arbitrary and up to now, unreproducible at will. It began...

    Disappointed, NYC 5 Borough Bike Tour

    I was thoroughly psyched to enter the NYC Bike Tour, but unfortunately, the rules on line stated "human powered bicycles only". So I called the organization to explain that my bike is only peddle assisted, but the woman on the other end confirmed that it wouldn't be allowed. I asked her if she...

    Hey guys, If there was a malfunction in the cadence, torque or wheel speed sensor, would it show up on the intuvia screen or in the diagnostic report which was done? Bike seems to drag a little more all as of late. Tires are inflated. I am not as aerodynamic as in the summer but I feel the...
