    Is there a bike that meets my requirements?

    ...like everything you can buy on ebay ect as the ones that did sell locked systems all went bust lol. i cant do that so why i have to use a dongle. Derestriction, ‘off-road’ switches or modes and dongles The Department of Transport say that electric bikes fitted with off-road switches or...

    bosch gen4 smart motor dongle

    ...they've got artificial gravity... why not make gravity ahead of the ship, so they're always accelerating? Wake me up when a downhill generator dongle becomes available (at a reasonable price [about 20 quid]) and not just for Bosch! BTW - How good or bad is your new SRAM robotic rear mech...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    ...here about the latest advice on a new pedelec etc. I was amazed to learn that the main players Bosch , Yamaha, Shimano have all opted for a Dongle type system using Canbus comms etc. So the user is locked into a proprietary coded drive train , battery motor , controller, charger. So any...

    Haibike sDuro HardSeven SL 2015 Yamaha (7 Month 1600 Miles)

    What needs to happen is for somebody to build and market a replacement battery with the dongle built in.

    Which E bike

    if you go bosch with the new smart motors a dongle wont be a option if you can even fit a bigger front chain ring. it wont damage the motor but it will half the range so about 25 miles from a 500w batt. out of warranty there is peter but he will not service any shitmano motors...

    Which E bike

    Ok thanks. I’m not sure I’ve looked or thought about wanting to dongle it. Just hoping to get a decent e-bike to have some fun on. I got to these two bikes as the Haibike was good on cost (forks look terrible though) and Cube looked decent spec

    Which E bike

    there are other brands that use the Yamaha motor but if you want to dongle it you will need a bigger front sprocket and they make the frames in such a way on some you cant go any bigger at the front. giant use the yamaha motor but make there own controllers batts bms and displays and lock it...

    Which E bike

    if you want a dongle and have a motor that can be fixed and parts available the only option is Yamaha but not the ones on giant bikes.

    Battery life

    I think I obviously do ride my bike in a different way to soundwave. However the ability of my bike to be ridden at speed may not be that different other than the capabilities of the different motors. There are clues in my posts. When I retired at 60 as a fit but overweight (100kg plus) man my...

    Battery life

    look at it like this with my bike compared to gh yamaha. my 400w batts capacity is so low it was no good for my riding with a dongle yet gh worn out the motor bearings b4 the batts range was no longer any good for the rides he does. the difference is i use a dongle so pulling as much amps as...

    Battery life

    ...will kill the pack if it sees a problem. bosch ebike batts have a 2 year warranty or 200 charge cycles which is about right if you dont use a dongle just plodding along on the flat going 15mph same as using a flash light on low beam but you up the amps and it will use power faster and reduce...

    Sprocket wear

    if i wore it out in 12 months id go the cheaper option but seems i can make it work and last even with a dongle and cx motor as long as i keep it clean and lubed and change chain at 0.50. also over the years i have learned how and when to change gear but over 30mph you have to back off change...

    Battery life

    my 2014 400w bosch batt made it to 112 charge cycles b4 the capacity was so low it was no good for me anymore as in turbo with a dongle could empty it in about 5 miles. bosch warranty is 200 charge cycles or 2 years shitmano is 2 years and 1000 cycles neither would make that warranty pulling...

    Kbebikes?

    ...stealth ebike then look at the bafang hd motor and programming cable it will be a lot cheaper easy to repair and cheaper batts and dont weigh 50 tons. my bosch ebike has a dongle and can hit 35mph easy but you have to put the effort in but my m8s bafang hd can pi$$ all over me with a throttle.
