At yesterday's oncology appointment, I received the news I has hoping I wouldn't hear quite so soon. I've had a slow growing cancer for 14 years now, one that's no longer slow growing. Seems to have morphed into some kind of much faster growing thing, and this sharply narrows the therapeutic...

Just went to the Trek USA website. For us regular riders, doesn't seem to be much new? Did not look at mountain bikes. Bosch's new system seems to be MIA in the under $5K bikes, for example. Am I missing something?

Some of us never got around to taking our bikes in for the 8s pedal recall last year. In my case, I took my new Allant+ in last year for service, but they never got around to the pedals. It's 1.5 hours away, and I haven't been back. Needless to say, I'm still alive and the pedals are still in...

Due to changing health, I wanted to raise my handlebar to relieve strain on my shoulders. Ordered a Santori adjustable handlebar stem from Amazon, delivered yesterday. Unfortunately, due to the odd way Trek mounts the headlight on the 8s, it wouldn't fit - the headlight band on the bar keeps...

I read frequently on this board about battery failure, but never Bosch batteries. Has anyone ever had one fail or worn one out? We can also read extensive advice regarding the best charging and discharging approaches, like never store fully charged, never go above 90% (or whatever) or below...

Back in April I developed severe back pain, although bike riding did no harm and may have helped. Started narcotic pain killers which helped the pain, but had the usual side effects - nausea, loss of appetite, loss of energy etc. My oncologist then decided it was time to start chemotherapy...

Last year the Smartphone hub/cobi.bike reported/uploaded rider power output to Strava at the end of a ride. This year, that doesn't seem to be happening. Is this a problem with my setup, or a result of the cobi.bike update of a few weeks ago?

Anyone have any idea how much power can be drawn from the smartphone hub USB connector? I'd like to run two devices but don't want to (a) damage the hub or (b) waste money on some sort of y connector only to find it's useless. Thanks

There was a previous discussion on this topic, https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/low-battery-cutout-for-bosch-gen4.32950/ but it didn't really discuss charging or true reserve with the batteries. For example, there's much discussion elsewhere regarding how EVs don't use all the...

It's fall here in SW New Hampshire. The tree leaves are just starting to change. The oak trees are dropping their acorns. Makes me appreciate wearing a helmet, but biking over them is a bit scary at times. Most of them crush under my wheels, but I'm fearing the one that doesn't. They're not...

This website https://www.bosch-ebike.com/us/service/productcombinations#driveUnits has some interesting things on it, like mention of a "Performance Line Sport" motor. Most interesting to me is that it looks like next year, the smartphone hub will no longer be supported with Performance Line...

Had a ride today where the navigation part of cobi.bike kept freezing. This is not the first time. It wasn't a big deal since I knew the route, but it was a bit irritating. At least it recorded the stats for the whole ride. I spent most of my time on the fitness screen. If I went to the...

Searched google with the title words. A Bosch link popped up at the top: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/us/service/faq/which-heart-rate-monitors-can-be-used-with-the-on-1504 That link led me to the owners manual...

Has there been one recently? I ask because today I went to the LBS where I bought two Trek Allant 8s this spring to have them set the on/off for the headlamp. For some reason they didn't do this (or even ask) when we bought the bikes this spring. They want to charge $34 for an "update"...

Have a Trek Allant 8s purchased in March, a few hundred miles on it. Battery now charges only to 98%. Not terrible, but not ideal. Is this normal? The LBS where I purchased is an hour away. I probably need to drag the bike in, but in the meantime, does anyone have a comment?

Have two bikes with Shimano MT520 brakes. Shimano says these take D03S pads, but everyone, including my LBS, seems to be out. Are there substitutes that are available? Don't need them yet, but will soon, since we ride in a very hilly area, and don't like to set speed records going downhill...

Recently bought two Allant 8s for spouse and me. Love the bikes. But need a place to stash our wallets and phones when we ride. Under the seat just doesn't work. In the past we've used handlebar bags on our bikes, but these ebikes, with all their cable housings, make that difficult to...

The puzzle is how to use the darn thing. I've never seen an app before that lacks a proper manual. For example - how do you reset the mileage and time? Or turn audio prompts on and off? Bosch has a video that shows all the customization that can be done, but it doesn't say how. And, it's...

The stock chainring on this bike is 46t, on a ProWheel crank. Where I live, a smaller (fewer teeth) chainring would be helpful. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? Thanks
