Giving up my car

I'd never rely on the Bosch display for this stuff - mapping, health data (heart rate etc) I'd use my Garmin Edge for.

I'm curious, what Bosch display do you use and which do you consider half baked?

I have the basic Intuvia not smart at all, anything smart I’d want I’d get from from my Garmin.

My wife’s Kiox 300 on her MC Mixte Smart System I think is worse from a UX - as others have said, the reliance on phone for “smarts” the $hit implementation of motor immobiliser, the clunky way to sort out navigation- id use my Garmin every time (to be fair I already have the Garmin)

Thanks Sam.

I'm very happy with the Nyon despite the phrenetic on device route generation which seems to be caused by EU HS ebike regulations. Needless to say I use alternatives for that function.

The Kiox unit I originally had on the bike was a great small display and did "what it said on the packet". No surprises or disappointments.

I wouldn't move to the Smart System unless there was a well prooven Nyon equivalent display/controller.

it takes awhile awhile for bosch to really get going.

Well I don’t like the phone dependence - maybe that will change. I don’t like the small displays, nor the minimalistic wireless only controls. Maybe these things will change but it looks like to me that it‘s a fundamental different design philosophy - minimalism versus the rich feature orientation of Gen 2.

The Nyon isn't dependent on a mobile phone for operation.

That's good to hear. It should be well tested by the time my SC2 and its Nyon wear out!

I know I have two of them on my other bikes, but in the Smart they just came out with … a slightly bigger Kiox. Well if fooferdoggie is accurate maybe eventually I’ll get a Nyon.
