    BMC Alpenchallenge AMP Cross Ltd My Take

    The update I referred to above really helped. I've put lot of miles now on the bike and I like it. So far no more complaints.

    BMC Alpenchallenge AMP Cross Ltd My Take

    I have updated drive unit software yesterday to 4.7 version. It seems like they've been working on cadence matching smoothness and torque detection since going up the same hill with new software version feels much smoother once plateau is reached. Fewer cut-outs. This is noticeably better for...

    BMC Alpenchallenge AMP Cross Ltd My Take

    Today I decided to try changing assist settings on bike to see what happens. Using E-tube app I changed Drive Unit to Dynamic. Riding on flats, the bike software crashed 3-4 times and rebooted. Eventually I stopped and switched to Customize mode. Software didn't crash after that...

    BMC Alpenchallenge AMP Cross Ltd My Take

    I got my AMP Cross Ltd about week and half ago and have put enough miles on it now that I feel I have reasonably good grasp to talk about it. Reason for writing this is that I hope that sharing my thoughts and observations will help potential buyers with their purchasing decision since not much...

    BMC Alpenchallenge AMP E-bikes

    Wow, I took mine to 25mph ~ 40kmh downhill and it did not feel safe and stable at all. I've got to look into this closer, something might be wrong.

    BMC Alpenchallenge AMP E-bikes

    Yeah, it cuts power delivery at maybe ~14km/h then it comes back, I could not find a way to reproduce it reliably. Very annoying. I see that someone complained here about this behavior from Shimano motor.

    BMC Alpenchallenge AMP E-bikes

    Got my BMP Cross and its really nice ride. One of the things I am noticing is that assistance power delivery is very choppy. At a times it will cut out for no reason at all. This can't be right. Anyone else noticed this?

    BMC Alpenchallenge AMP E-bikes

    I looked at the Stromer and I like it a lot, but at 62lbs it should come with the AAA (towing) service :-) Plus I have my doubts whether Stromer will make it... BMC is one of the very few with 35lbs bike.

    BMC Alpenchallenge AMP E-bikes

    I've been looking at these and I love the weight and feel of riding one, but feel like One version is under-powered and Limited version too expensive and very limited to 20mph. I hate that it starts bogging down at 20mph. I am also worried about very limited market penetration by Shimano motors...

    Vado 5 vs Super Commuter+ 8S vs BMC Alpenchallenge

    I am researching and testing the bike to purchase and have tried these 3. I first tried Super Commuter 8S and this is very respectable bike, lot of power, very fast. I then tried Vado 5 and this was the smoothest ebike I have ever tried. This one was butter to ride. Power delivery was smooth...
