    Bosch performance line system issue

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm pretty rough with my poor FatSix and it spends any time I'm not riding it attached to the rear of my car and exposed to the elements. I ended up needing to Dremel my Bosch's battery-terminals recently with a wire-brush attachment to resolve some corrosion issues...

    Greetings from Vancouver, Canada

    Welcome! I just last week watched this 2008 documentary "Carts of Darkness" filmed in your fair city, and am now dying to get out there and ride some of those hills. One of the inclines featured in the vid (about 22-minutes in) is Mountain Highway...it looks pretty steep, but I was surprised...

    FatSix

    Hey Pappahog. I've had the same model FatSix (2015) which I bought new in Jan 2017. I just this week replaced the chainring for the 2nd time after roughly 8000-miles. I can say I've been pretty rough with my bike too, with a considerable amount of off-roading as well as having the works...

    Bosch CX software update and chip mods- USA bikes?

    I second MarkPnB. I've gained a lot of strength in the past year of riding daily, and basically stick to Eco-mode. The only time I ever punch up Tour-mode is if I'm approaching one of a few particularly steep inclines on a trail I hit occasionally. I hover around 22 MPH for flat-cruising on...

    I had to laugh since the guy who wrote the following used the term "controversial topic" too. I had no idea there was a controversy! https://www.w8ji.com/dielectric_grease_vs_conductive_grease.htm That said, I'm stickin' with my dielectric-greese.

    Is 20 mph too slow?

    I hit a tree at about 20MPH on a trail a few years back...nothing but a scrape on my arm and achy balls. Bike slipped out from under me a few years before that whilst walking it at 2MPH through a muddy-puddle; resulted in surgery to install a titanium-pin and nearly 2-months in a full leg-cast.

    Is 20 mph too slow?

    Mine came restricted at 20MPH and I wanted more, so I dongled it. I find that I'm regularly riding in my 22MPH comfort-zone (the 20MPH wall was very annoying) and that couple of MsPH are worth the price of the dongle. I removed the dongle recently for troubleshooting purposes (and to get some...

    Bosch system startup issue

    Hey Peter, By "turning on" your battery, d'you mean clicking its capacity-button? I ask because when this issue first occurred for me, I'd opened and cleaned all the parts to my Intuvia and remote-controller. My battery's capacity-button is inoperable after a damaging drop.

    Dongling

    Besides a crank-puller, you'll need whatever proprietary adapter to remove the screws in the cowling that covers your motor. Not sure about most HaiBikes, but mine needed a hex-driver for the two screws holding the hatch below the motor, and a LONG Torx (not so common) to remove the three screws...

    Responding to bike-on-ebike harassment

    Excellently...a very gentle wiggle will activate it. The bell's clapper is on the end of an adjustable cable with 3 settings: Full, Half, and Locked. At Full, the bell reacts more sensitively since its pendulum is longer. It's great to be able to switch it on-and-off so easily too. For me, takes...

    Responding to bike-on-ebike harassment

    And this, my friend, is where he beat you. I totally get the frustration, however his negativity is most likely the result of other issues unrelated to you. You just gave him another reason to be $#!++y to the next guy. Pity him. On a related note; we should consider ourselves ambassadors of...

    How Much Cardio Can You Get From Electric Bikes?

    PS: This inspired me to check Amtrak's bike-rules, and it appears that no trains from NYC to DC permit bike-transport. :(

    How Much Cardio Can You Get From Electric Bikes?

    This is the exact route which convinced me to upgrade my battery-capacity! I have a buddy in Yacht Haven I've been threatening to visit, and decided that for the next trip I'd Acela down to DC from NYC with my eBike, then bike to his place. I've driven up and down the GW Parkway plenty of times...

    Bosch system startup issue

    Curious: do you have the Intuvia? You get assist by continuously holding down the minus-button? Any idea what level of assist you get with this configuration? Will the system work normally afterwards?
