    Which bike maintenance stand?

    If I were buying again I would probably take d8veh's advice and save myself £60. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Hi I'm new

    Hi https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/blog/post/how-to-look-after-and-extend-the-life-of-your-bosch-ebike-battery/ I think the most important thing is temperature as the Battery Management System takes care of everything else. Enjoy your bike Matt Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Walk assist on the Bosch Intuvia

    Just got back to my bike after a couple of days away. You are of course completely correct. My pedals do indeed turn with walk assist. Can't believe I've never noticed this before. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Battery lock

    I always remove my battery when locking up in town just to make the entire bike a little less desirable. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Which bike maintenance stand?

    d8veh is referring to the 360° rotation in the clamp arm. Some stands have notches in the rotation that prevent the friction of the clamp arm being overwhelmed by a heavy ebike. I don't believe this to be a problem with either the x-tool or the Park Tool stands. Sent from my SM-G950F using...

    The Park Tool stand is not indexed. It rotates smoothly but will still easily lock an ebike at any angle. I have upgraded from the Aldi workstand, my new one is such a pleasure to use in comparison. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Which bike maintenance stand?

    Yes. I have a Cube Cross Hybrid Pro. The jaws of the clamp are made of soft rubber and it has fine tension adjustment. The rubber jaws are also replaceable if they were to wear out or become damaged. I think the x-tool one would clamp the bike fine also. My only concern with it would be the...

    Which bike maintenance stand?

    I have recently purchased a Park Tool PCS-10 which I am really pleased with. But, it is twice the price.

    What cranks on Bosch?

    You are actually lowering the centre of gravity to the bottom bracket, but it does feel like you are pushing the tyres into the ground. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
