it is only the smart motors that have become a problem with dongles and they will work just you can never update the software or it will brick it. you should be still able to get a new bike with the non smart motors and then a dongle wont be a problem but putting a bigger front chain ring might...

...engine. https://ebiketuner.com/blogs/news/how-to-derestrict-a-bosch-gen-4-ebike-in-2023 No doubt it’s the best of the main 4 motors but I’d rather have something that works flawlessly with a dongle. Even if it’s not quite as good. Too many hills near me to be peddling a 25kg bike in limp mode.

if you buy it from martin at ebike shop you can have the dongle and warranty for 2 years tho you can never update it. https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/products/bosch-ebike-tuning-dongle?variant=42601797255406

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

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.

there not there yet but it looks like thats where it is going and if so no dongle will work. or do this :p https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=93831

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

https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/products/yamaha-ebike-speed-tuning-dongle-kit?variant=42601796796654 you can have a dongle and warranty but you can only get this from them but wont work with pwx 3 atm

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...

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.

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:

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...

...but is there no dealers local where you can try a few out? thing is with the bafangs you can programme the controllers so you dont need a dongle to remove the speed limit my motor has 75nm and my m8s has 160nm bafang hd and can hit over 40mph with the throttle. off road it falls to bits...

...wont work with my motor as software locked not to work. you also cant recell the batts as use can bus they wont sell the bms so you cant make up your own pack and force you to buy there rip off ones. https://www.cycmotor.com/photon that would **** all over my bike even with a dongle at 2000w

I'm glad you're not a judge.

...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...
