Because every serious MTBer with Bosch's twin V-8 engine (CX) wants a Nyon on their bike to access Custom Ride modes?
The usb port is not a dummy. It is there for diagnostics and firmware updates. It is just as easy and charges way faster to bring along a small battery bank if your phone needs charging. I have a nice flashing rechargeable headlight that also has a 5,000mAh battery bank with a USB outlet. Why suck power from your bike battery when it is better used to actually move the bike? I also don't like using integrated lights for that reason.
Never wanted a smart phone hub. Using your $1,000 phone as a display for a bike seems like a silly, if not foolish solution. I know some folks want their phone to do everything but it can't do everything as well as dedicated, integrated, purpose designed devices.
Instead for a touring setup you have a Nyon as you want Custom Ride Modes & Rohloff E14, you can't put your own special Topographic/whatever maps on the Nyon, does it use OpenStreetMaps?
You talking to me???? I already said that I do not use my phone as a navigation device on my bike. There are two things I might use it for while riding...music and as a phone. I ride with it in my pocket almost always. I also have E-14 on only one of our four bikes.Instead for a touring setup you have a Nyon as you want Custom Ride Modes & Rohloff E14, you can't put your own special Topographic/whatever maps on the Nyon, does it use OpenStreetMaps?
Instead you have OsmAnd+ on your phone to supplement it's own OpenStreetMaps with your own or some other app, get a phone holder on your handlebars but you also have to rig up another holder for a powerbank as the Nyon can't keep your phone topped up.

Just trying to get you to see other use cases for other people, not you.
I see the other use cases. I also see that Bosch already has most of them covered with four different display choices currently available. I get it that the more sophisticated ones cost more money. However, what I am trying to get you to see is that turning a Purion into a mini Nyon will surely raise it's cost and lower cost is one of its clear virtues.
Bosch's profit after tax in 2019 was about 2 billion Euro's.

??? what bike are you going to put that on?
my bulls. there I need to adjust the assist levels. I need to crank up eco a bit or drop down tour. I end up using tour because I can't keep it at 20 in eco. but I end up at 22 or 23 in tour and even though I can put a in a lot more power now I don't really save any battery. even though I went from maybe 150 watts top upto 200 watts I don't really save much battery Now.
Is your Bulls a gen 2 or gen 4 motor?
its a gen 2 speed. same as the tandem but that one is not the speed. Ya the big guy is nice wit everything but it takes some getting used too. I think I may have gained maybe 2 to 4 miles now that I can put out more power but not sure. but eco I run out of steam and tour I end up going sometimes too fast to keep up my effort. watts per mile would be good though. well for awhile then you would have the info in your head.
Expensive way to get just Custom Ride Modes if that's primarily what you wanted!
no other way to do it. but I want to ride in eco more and thats about the only way I can do it. I wish it synced more I could eliminate my garmin.Expensive way to get just Custom Ride Modes if that's primarily what you wanted!
