How did you get it? New bike? It supposed to be available from July.

My Bosch CX has enough torque and power to easily get me up the steepest hills. Sometimes really just about to fall of the back. But I do use 1st gear and SPORT mode on those occasions. I found no info to suggest the new eMTB mode will give more power at lower cadence? In my understanding, it...

Had a nice mountain ride yesterday, with not so nice ending. Pinched tube and tyre :(:(:mad:

Li-ion batteries like to be at 50%. So keep it there when you don't need it. (40-80% is fine) I only charge to full the night before the ride. Yes, this is kinda inconvenient sometimes, but I would like to have my battery in top shape for many years to come. Especially with the prices Bosch has...

@EddiePJ , what's the catch with the self-balancing bike in your pics? o_O

I did my longest ride on monday. It was 52 miles with almost 8,000ft of elevation gain over some extremely rough terrain. I noticed that with only 5 bars resolution (BOSCH) it is kinda hard to evaluate how much power I can use to safely get back home. I live on top of a hill, so I really don't...

A great ride to the top of a local hill (1688m). Love the bike. It climbs like crazy, and I'm also gaining some confidence on the way down. 5 hours, 2000 meters, still 2 bars left. I used all 4 modes (switching all the time), so I really look forward to the new eMTB mode.

I just like numbers. Same reason for altimeter, speedometer, odometer, HRM, etc... As for inaccuracy, it is actually pretty accurate when riding at least 10mph.

Thank you for the ideas. A cheap bicycle computer with thermometer might really be the best solution.

Huh, I was in SPORT and couldn't keep my heart rate bellow 180. But the terrain was really hard and steep. Will probably ride some easier trails in the future. But my HR is one of the reasons I got the eMtb.

The one in the link is 5cm. I would be happy with 3cm.

Did anyone ever see one? I would love to have it, bu can't find one ANYWHERE. I would even make a mount for it myself if there would be one small and simple enough. This is the closest I got, but it is still too big...

This is the eastern most part of the Alps. Slovenia. This is at 1600m, the snow starts at 2000+ here.

Enjoying my first eMTB

I actually enjoyed going up more. :) It was very cold and my fingers were frozen on the way down. I'll try again when it's nice and warm. But it was nice anyway. Mostly because this is my first full suspension bike. And on top of that also first bike with a decent front suspension. It feels...

My first real MOUNTAIN climb. Climbing 3280 feet in 6 miles. The terrain was very different. From tarmac to rocks, dirt, sand, roots.... I was keeping my heart rate at max most of the time, and using modes from ECO to SPORT. Made it to the top in an hour and a half. Riding uphill in sport is...

I just noticed there are no nuts on the valves. And I can actually push the valve inside the tire. Is that a new thing and it's normal? All my older bikes have the nuts to keep the valve in place.

Disc brakes really got better. And adjusting the travel of the brake lever even further improved performance. So braking is now up to my expectations. :cool:

I got this info when I bought my bike last week. It will be available to install in the shop in August. I was told it will add a mode that will automatically change between TOUR and SPORT. Will probably get it, but I'am not sure it will make a lot of difference. I probably won't even notice it...

Yes, but that is the problem. I ease off and shift, but the motor keep going for a bit longer.
