My first Mid Drive

Well this Bosch is a fast charger I just went out to check and it was already 100%

The question in my head is do I hook up the dropper or order another SR Suntour NCX ?

I made an offer on this one

$40 offer was accepted so I will get to try and support the cause

I think that the suspension seatpost would be a lot more useful than a dropper on that bike.

@usclassic,
Check your display. It could be the Bosch type that is supper easy to remove. That is a security measure. You park and pocket the display. A local woman had her bike frame sawed through with the lock left behind just so they could get at the motor and battery. I hope Bosh catches them when they do an update.

A dropper is for mountain descents. It is not needed on this bike in my opinion. One person attached a tool with epoxy to her saddle so that she can drop it manually, like when coming out of the Rockies. She is having problems navigating steep descents on loose gravel when fully loaded. A dropper may be needed and that will require drilling the seat tube. When rear loaded a bike works like a pendulum. The rear weight wants to swing forward while braking down a hill. High rear weight will flip a bike. Think of how to keep it low and balanced front to rear. Yes, do the suspension.

So then I have the 31.6 TranzX dropper seat post with internal cable new incoming cable kit and barrel nuts, handle bar lever and I suppose I will remove the stock internal cable housing. Would you like it?

In my opinion the suspension post takes priority on this bike and use application.
