No, sad to say i'm getting worse spending money to take my mind away from getting and feeling older :). Homes cinema is just another thing lately.

I have that dongle fitted by Martin, very happy no issues (touch wood). i suspect Martin would simply remove dongle and claim against Bosch as they won't know. Other option, you just remove it if you need to claim against Bosch. Either way dongle i have assist's to 31mph, but now hearing of...

Bought mine at 48 year old, now 50. So much fun!

I would buy locally, I didn't and when i have a problem its a 3 hour round trip :(

Congratulations to your daughter, lovely video to have too.

Rob, I think there would also be heat issues. I remember one day (stupidly) doing a 15 mile ride at avg 28 mph in turbo mode with dongle and the battery would not recharge due to excess heat. This is a safety feature and all was fine after it cooled down. It made me realise there's always a...

Some good points Rob. My understanding with the bosch motor is the gearing is 2.5x full circle and i believe bosch sell a 22t front ring x 10t rear cassette. High cadence, could get you well into the 40mph bracket for a time. There are some forum members on other sites who have done this with...

If you have the Bosch Nyon you have an app to adjust power settings using your phone.

Enjoy your Levo it looks like a lovely bike. Ref dongle and having assist up to 48mph, i have no intention in buying this dongle (due to safety), nor have i done the maths. However, i'm sure its achievable (without dinner plate). I achieved 40mph on my road bike on the flat (all be it some...

Well if nothing, this forum is diverse in terms of opinions. It just shows we all like different things. Some think droppers are essential where others don't. Back to the point, ride both bikes if you can and choose the one you like. Always good to get advise though. On a personal level from...

No it's not Bosch's policy. After speaking with e-bike shop and a more local e-bike retailer in Kent, they both said there is nothing to service on the electric motor. I've have my bike serviced twice a year with all mechanical components stripped, check and replaced if necessary. The nearest I...

I agree about using Strava for your own records. At one point i was a premium member, but in truth for me it wasn't worth paying (all be it not a lot) for the additions premium gives you. I will use my cycle pc or Garmin with OSM maps in future.

Agree a bit more mtb friendly.

I used Strava when i didn't have an e-bike. The motivation to use with friends / road bike club members wore off after a year or so of being too competitive with each other and striving for times / KOM's. Thank god i don't use it anymore and just go out and enjoy your ride. There's always...

Are you happy with purion. My nyon has been fixed by shop so i'll sell on eBay, i was happy with it until it started playing up. I did find it a bit big though, hence purion.

I was at Surrey hills today eddie, but I'm a softy and i'm sure it was -3c at one point. I was trying out the new purion, and will be selling the nyon on eBay. I often cycle byways and am very friendly towards walkers, but many seem to hate us mtb folk.

I spoke to soon. My nyon has developed a flashing white screen of death issue. Luckily i bought it 9 months ago without issue, so covered under the 2 year warranty. However, i've decided to buy the Purion instead as much cheaper and less costly to replace and of course more mtb friendly. I did...

by the way, take battery off bike when carrying!

Hi, i went for the thule 991 raceway 2. It aint cheap, but very easy to use and for me the best substitute for a tow bar. The last 10 years i've had tow bars, but never got round to putting a one on new car. I've got a trailer and bike carriers, but changing car every 2-3 years, and a tow bar...

good luck what ever you decide!
