    Bosch MY2022 updates

    If you use Custom Modes, and program so that assistance starts high and decreases with speed (and of course the opposite as you slow down), you will essentially have your Auto mode. I’ve done 60 mile rides with gradients up to 12% or so without ever changing out of one Custom Mode.

    Nyon Retrofit

    Agree--I am not sure I could live without the Nyon. So much so that I bought TWO backups off European eBay sites. Love my custom curves--never use the standard ones. Only issue I have is that sometimes mid-ride after a hard bump the Nyon will restart, or more commonly, temporarily lose contact...

    What’s the fastest you’ve been on your Trek ebike?

    Routinely go 32-35 mph downhill on my Domane+. Feels much more stable than similar speeds on my regular (and comparatively featherweight) carbon road bike.

    Nyon Retrofit

    For some reason I am not seeing these on eBay—could you post a link? I want to pick up a spare. Thanks!

    Bosch Nyon custom modes

    Funny—that was my diagram that I posted for my previous Haibike Race S 6.0!

    Bosch Nyon custom modes

    Not totally sure what you are asking but there is nothing that shows the assistance vs. speed curve for the standard modes that I am aware of. That said, just from experience it seems to me that the standard modes have a consistent assist level (e.g., 55, 120, 190, and 275% or whatever for a...

    Bike that can be ridden without pedal assist

    I have the opposite experience with my Trek Domane + (Bosch mid-drive). Starting out from a stop and through about 10 mph the drag is terrible, but once up to about 15 mph the drag is not noticeable and I regularly ride with the motor off. For that reason I have custom assist curves using the...

    Nyon availability in US

    Does the Kiox allow creation of custom assist curves?

    Nyon availability in US

    Could not live without the Nyon--so much so that I bought a backup unit on eBay in case mine ever konks out. For me the custom assist modes change everything about riding my ebike. And I did it all in conjunction with my LBS so no problems there!

    Nyon availability in US

    I have no knowledge one way or the other but seems like if they were going to they would have done so by now. It was my assumption that once they bought COBI that is the direction they were going. That said, I would be very unhappy without my Nyon......

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    It's a Bosch Powertube 500 Wh battery. No provision for external battery. Yes those numbers are perfectly good for me, but don't be deceived by them--if I was riding with standard assist levels on fulltime they would be much, much lower. No different from any Bosch-powered bike.

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Can’t really say—I never use power all the time and when I do I use custom levels generally lower than the standard ones. But to give you an idea my ride yesterday was about 32 miles with 3400 feet of climbing and used 48% of the battery.

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    The Domane + is fabulous. You might be surprised how well it handles. I don't find the weight troubling, and that is after years of riding a 17 lb Specialized S-Works carbon Roubaix. My only complaint is the drag of the gearing at low speed when the motor is off. Once up to speed that is not an...

    Just curious if you have ridden the Domane+ Johnny?

    First Solar Powered eBike on the Block!

    Yes—have a home solar system with battery storage that supplies actually more power than we use. So both our electric car and my Domane + are 100% solar powered!

    First Solar Powered eBike on the Block!

    My Trek Domane + is completely solar-powered in the same way!😎

    Hills or Wind. Which is worse.

    I’ll take hills any day of the week and twice on Sundays! For me there is nothing fun about wind, and I agree that is one of the best things about my e- vs. regular road bike.

    Nyon Retrofit

    My very experienced (with Bosch systems) mechanic and I had the same problem when I first got my Trek Domane + and wanted to move my Nyon over to it from my previous Haibike Race (which had an Intuvia mount so it was not an issue). When we got into the motor and downtube the cable routing became...

    TREK Domane+ 2019, thoughts, price, issue?

    Are they replacing the Bosch version with only the Fazua one going forward or are they going to continue with both models? If the former I sure am glad I have the Domane + Bosch version before it goes away. Like Alaskan I could care less what others think, and the Domane + is a fabulous machine...
