    Canyon and Bosch: Just confusing? .... or actually fradulent?

    Incompetence is clearly at play - I notified Canyon months ago that one of their photos shows a different motor model on the US site, I think as someone else mentioned here. That alone is suspect, and they replied saying it was from the European branch that sells the other model. But they have...

    Are all Bosch mid-drive systems Class 1 only and... is that good or bad?

    Lol how could one write a thread that's so obviously wrong.

    Canyon and Bosch: Just confusing? .... or actually fradulent?

    Great point, and now that you mention it, I am going to strongly consider the Vado SL too!

    Canyon and Bosch: Just confusing? .... or actually fradulent?

    Why not? They would have more info than a forum of nobodies.

    Have you asked Bosch yet for clarification?

    Canyon and Bosch: Just confusing? .... or actually fradulent?

    Bosch states that this motor gets "up to" 75 nm. So any value between 0 and 75 nm inclusive is potentially accurate. So the Canyon spec is not fraudulent. Honestly I don't understand why the nm would vary, or why manufacturers would limit it - maybe Bosch charges more for a higher nm spec? Do...

    I thought Class 3 would feel safer on the road

    Does the serf gain respect through hyper-obedience to the local lord?

    I thought Class 3 would feel safer on the road

    Well written post. This has happened to me occasionally, but these are usually the minority of drivers - typically the angry entitled types. I live in a very urban area so I think the drivers are a bit more experienced. But there are definitely people like you experienced who operate on a very...

    Canyon and Bosch: Just confusing? .... or actually fradulent?

    Wouldn't this violate some agreement with Bosch? IMO I'd ask Bosch to explain what's going on. It is possible Bosch made a special run just for them, just seems implausible, and a brand liability to call a cheaper product the same thing. As for the photo, I also contacted them about the...

    The Empire Strikes Back: Big Bike Brand Offers $2k 28 mph E-Bike w/Torque Sensor (Cannondale Adventure Neo Allroad S)

    I'm skeptical. It says right on their page it has a torque sensor. https://www.cannondale.com/en-us/bikes/electric/e-urban/adventure-neo-allroad/adventure-neo-allroad-speed

    Bosch: “We Don’t Support Self Service”- refuses to provide appliance service manuals, necessitating unnecessary, expensive service calls.

    https://pirg.org/articles/bosch-we-dont-support-self-service/ While this is about dishwashers, it sounds much like some of the comments I've seen here about Bosch service. A shame when they dominate the retail ebike industry. " A right to repair to ‘end the silliness’ If you wondered why right...

    Reasons not to buy an Aventure.2

    They are violating FCC law by not disclosing that they got comped for their reviews - speaking of YouTubers generally. You can be a completely honest reviewer and still pretty bad at guiding customers. Unless you already know all the competing bikes, a review is worthless unless it compares...

    Hailong Battery Quality and Safety

    Why do car batteries have minimal capacity loss when ebikes don't? I can think of thermal management and automated depth of discharge optimization, wondering what else... And what would be plausible in a bike setting.

    Reasons not to buy an Aventure.2

    I'm looking at a bike right now that seems like a terrific value 'on paper' and yet there is absolutely zero coverage from the influencer crowd. The scene is a total venal grift.

    Watch Charging Scooter Explode

    This fixation on charging in the long run is irrelevant. If we couldn't charge our phones overnight without risk of fire, we'd be phoneless or homeless. The obvious answer is to ban garbage that can burn your house down if you doze off.

    Watch Charging Scooter Explode

    Always baffles me how fire departments will cluck on and on about safety but won't actually announce the culprit, i.e. the maker of the faulty vehicle. Your whole message is pointless without that info!

    What's your opinion on the "Idaho Stop" law?

    Oncoming traffic is the issue. Not the lights. :)
