Thanks for taking the time to write a detailed and interesting report.

The sensor is most likely the culprit. Clean and make sure its positioned OK. The next thing I would check tis the display / controller.

Used a hub puller for the crank and levered off.

Happened to me I thought the engine had gone..phew.. Just replaced, as the guard was chewed up. The guard was replaced with another, cost about a fiver.

Could you just change the connectors on the cables so they will fit? Bearing in mind the supplier insisted the controller, is the correct one for your mode.

I need to work hard to keep up with mu group which has predominantly unpowered light bikes. Seriously considering a dongle.

I live in Stroud, and wish to derestrict a Bosch CX motor. Just wondered if there any paid services that would help fit, or is this a big no no re bike shops assisting with this.

As I said before noise in that area can be deceiving. Check on a rack.

Metallic rattle suggests something is loose or vibrating. I have the same motor, and no noise except once, when the chain guard worked loose and the resulting noise appeared to emanate from the motor.

GPS Garmin is designed for outdoor use and has a long battery life. Very good piece of kit. Beats a mobile IMO.

Probably better looking for an ex display bike. Many quality German bikes around.

Yes you do indeed. I think quality German motors win hands down.

Looks an interesting site.

Why would that be?

Many compilations of data. The data that matches ones opinion is usually favoured;)

Bit like the TV repairmen that used to call around fixing British TVs. Fidelity,Ferguson, Baird etc loads of cheap spares unlike the new Japanese TVs which were expensive to fix. But you didn't need repairs for the Japanese sets.

Both Chinese motors had component failure. Friends from cycling clubs have noticed the quality when switching to Bosch and Yamaha. I do not doubt your experiences, but equally nor the people I have had direct contact with or indeed my own. German manufacturing is consistent with quality, whilst...

I have read on many surveys just the opposite, Bosch vs Chinese goods... IMO, Design and workmanship are the reasons something has quality. Chinese copy and make it cheap. I have had two Chinese motors fall apart.

Bosch parts are engineered and designed in Germany. ( The clever bit ) like Astras designed and engineered in Germany. Just assembled in the UK like ebikes in China. Assembly, doesn't reflect the component quality which is German.
