I too use this app and find it to be wonderful, both for recording and planning outdoor activities. I especially like the ability to take pictures en-route to provide a more interesting record of your trip (see example below from a recent kayak outing)...

Hmmm, I had no intention of getting into a discussion about which configuration is best, they all have pros and cons IMO. Similarly I have no issue with fitting/using a PAS, I was just looking at a simple conversion for my MTB.

Sorry, yes, agreed, as long as you don’t opt for the PAS facility rather relying solely on a throttle.

Brilliant, thank you. It was the front wheel kit I had in mind as I have just finished rebuilding the bike with a new truvative splined bb and don’t fancy having to change it the square type. Plus the kind of assistance you describe is exactly what I am looking for.

Hi Trevor, I have just visited your website and was impressed with your scooter conversion. I also note you mention converting a GT mtb with a kit from cyclotricity and was curious which kit you used and whether or not you ran into any issues? I have a GT Avalanche Expert mtb which I would like...

Another vote here for Komoot. Once you have bought the map for your local area (or area of interest, or, as I have, the global map) you can create a map in advance and ‘save it for offline use’. You don’t then need a data connection for the device used actually when riding you pre-mapped route...

Hi, I described it in an earlier post here https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/recommend-me-an-iphone-holder-for-middle-of-handlebars.37735/post-565322 The link to the actual product https://www.quadlockcase.co.uk/products/bike-mount Plus you need this to attach to your phone case...

I use a QuadLock mount to hold my mobile phone onto my Cube handlebar and am very pleased with it. They do many different types of adaptors including ones specifically fo the GoPro range. Example here; https://www.quadlockcase.co.uk/products/gopro-adaptor-for-out-front-mount

Hi, 1800 seems quite low miles, so I would try adjusting cable tension first using the adjusters at the derailleur and/or gear change lever. Cable stretch could be the cause of your issue rather than a worn chain/cassette.

This has been reported before (or certainly very similar) https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/bosch-error-code-500.26355/

Having read this thread with interest I am now concerned that the Bosch battery in my Cube ebike is vulnerable to thieves during those odd occasions when the bike is left unattended (E.g shopping trips). I have a good quality lock and cable for securing to a solid object plus pinlocks on other...

There is no limiter as such, particularly on bikes fitted with the recent generation Bosch motors. Once you are past 15.5Mph all effort toward forward motion is your own, but the motor itself is not working against you, just the weight of the bike itself.

Fair point and funnily enough I will be able to put this to the test soon as we holiday down there for a couple of weeks. We have taken regular bikes in the past and agree there are some testing climbs (the one out of Mousehole springs instantly to mind, might need Turbo for that one!).

One other thought davetez, Sport is the 3rd highest setting on the bike and as a result will be putting a lot of torque into your drivetrain when you set off. Have you tried starting in eco and then moving up to sport as the need arises?

Just to add, I haver noticed the exact same issue (display giving a higher speed / distance compared to GPS, appx + 1 Mph) with my new Bosch powered ebike and Intuvia screen. My bike is due a free first service later this month so I will mention it when I take it in and see what they say.
