The "heat" warning flashes at a lower threshold (temperature) than on the other bike. The motor goes into protective mode and slows...

    Choosing between motor systems: bosch, currie, yamaha

    Please help me decide which system makes the most sense. Bosch seems the best from his reviews but it's also the most expensive. I'll be commuting 30miles round trip with the option to recharge half way. I've got lots of hills to climb. What do you think?
