    on the new smart motors they have changed the sensor and put the magnet on the disc rotor to stop you using a dongle.

    27.5 bad for road use?

    there are dongles for the bosch gen 4 smart motors as ebike shop now sell them but you can never have a firmware or software update as it will brick the dongle and have to buy another one. also note that the new smart frame batts will not work on older motors but you can get 3rd party ones from...

    ...you can never make that bike road legal as most ppl think they can set it to 16mph and 250w and it does not work like that as the fact you can change these settings means it has a off road mode or switch. a dongle just removes the speed limit it has no way to add more power from the controller.

    Older bikes seem to work better with dongles. Has the Yamaha got gps like the new Bosch? That seems like a real PITA

    I really have not got the space unfortunately . Just sold my car to make space on the drive. Still got a pick up and a lease hatch. I’ve got generators and paint machines taking up a lot of space and a stack of tools. Making space for one has been a struggle. The police issue is why I want to...

    ...gets hold of it you will need to provide insurance to get it back. if you got the haibike thats still cheaper than 2 bike ahead wheels and a dongle that can be removed so it can be made road legal again. i have a badass dongle that slides over the speed sensor so it can be removed in...

    Help! Carrera Crossfuse Battery Range

    I'm kind of hoping the battery light indicators (ie a rough % of battery usage) may almost be a better indication than the guesstimated Range until I get more miles & rides in.

    Help! Carrera Crossfuse Battery Range

    the display try's to guess how far is left depending how much effort is being used and in what mode so it is not very good as it goes way out of wack if you use a dongle. i have a kiox display now so can see the batt in 1-100% https://winstanleysbikes.co.uk/bosch-kiox-retrofit-kit

    38t wont fit or you will need to use spacers to push the chain ring out and screwup the chain line, they do it on purpose so a dongle wont make much difference anyway :rolleyes:

    27.5 bad for road use?

    most of the new bikes use down tube batts but if you want to use a dongle to remove the speed limit you need space for a bigger front chain ring and some frames wont let you go up any bigger at the front esp on the levo. if i hit 120 rpm at the cranks i can hit 39.6 mph but i cant keep that up...

    Is there a bike that meets my requirements?

    ...not road legal the very fact that you can change the settings in the controller means it can never be road legal even at 100w. if i remove my dongle there is no way at all in to the controllers settings to change anything not even the wheel size because it is a locked down system. now if i...

    Is there a bike that meets my requirements?

    By that logic all Bosch bikes sold as legal, are illegal because dongles can de-restrict speed, instantly or otherwise. Just because a device is hackable, doesn't make that device illegal. On my bike, it's not an instantaneous switch or mode change to de-restrict speed - it's a hack with...

    Is there a bike that meets my requirements?

    the fact that you can change modes means it is not road legal, like i said i need a dongle to do this i cant plug it in and do anything. every one thinks they can get a ebike and set the controller to legal settings but if you kill someone good luck with that as it is still a point of law like...
