Retired, really? What's the reason for a more open source drive system?

Devil's advocate, you weren't following the rules and got called out on it. Why let that one little thing ruin your day? Getting flipped the bird or sworn at is worse, imo. It's super annoying to have folks yell those things, but they aren't wrong... What's even MORE annoying is when people...

The only drive unit failures for Bosch happened one time on a bike that had really low miles. There was an internal programming issue and Bosch sent a reman DU to replace. Bike was well outside the warranty and it was a Bosch goodwill repair. Other than that we've seen bikes well into the 10's...

Gotcha, good on you for using the e-bike as your main/only transport, nice!! The software check/update is by no means mandatory but suggested. The dealer report they can provide is nice to have for your records. I'd consider upgrading displays to the Nyon, you can install everything yourself...

Have you had it plugged in to check the software? If it's been awhile that's a great thing to add to your annual maintenance. Check the bearings on the front hub, those Deore hubs are loose ball and might need some attention, same with the headset. Nice work on the miles! Have you upgraded the...

If the Purion batteries die you'll have to wake the bike up via the battery button. You're correct in how to replace the batteries on the Purion, it's really straightforward, just don't break the battery door, they're pricey. As for settings, I'm not sure what it's referring to as the "brain"...

Do you have a Bosch dealer nearby? If so it might be useful to have them plug the bike in and get you the data from the batteries and bike. Could be handy for your records based on your incredible record keeping!

They just work with local shops or a mobile repair company most likely.

PON and Giant in terms of revenue, 3rd through 8th are all pretty close though so it's kinda a tie, 1st and 2nd are way ahead.

Take it to a co-op if you have one in the area, I'm sure they can find a front wheel for it and it should provide someone transport who doesn't already have access to it.

We're getting tons of goat heads here in Oregon on our rental bikes. Thicker more flat resilient tires combined with Tannus to the rescue!

Trek is only a "big dog" here in the US, they get crushed in the rest of the world, where people actually ride bikes consistently.

Who cares about a launch photo having some AI touchup? Glad to see Kona adding new models now that they're back with the founders!

Ignoring the mysogonistic comments, why on earth would you assume a retail business would take your dead ebike battery? Did you call ahead of time or just read it on the internet then assume it applies to every location? The dump or landfill usually has a hazmat drop off day, out here in Oregon...

Love the mileage and updates, nice work!! As far as your concerns for longevity moving forward, Bosch is a longstanding German company and what I mean by that is they're going to support the Gen 2 product for a long time. Sure you might not have the same display available (Purion) but there are...

Try the stock Specialized Como bars from the older bikes, they're great. Otherwise FSA has a Metropolis bar that's got a good sweep.

Having worked with over 20 brands, they just don't sell as it's a very limited marketplace. The folks that "think" they want a fat tire bike don't want to spend over $2k so any manufacture that builds a product that's serviceable, won't bother understandably. It's a void for sure, but other than...

Hell no they don't, there's been more and more e-bikes out there which is great to see. Anytime someone rolls up on an e bike I hop on the wheel, best draft out there!!

Really? I was talking with our rep recently and the ETA's are way sooner than that. What color and frame size/style did you get? Gonna do RAGBRAI??

The 6a charger isn't available in the US
