Went down to the woods to day and got a big surprise:D the 500watt motor has so much more raw torque than my other bike, it sailed up with far lower effort ,its on the side of old gravel pit so they are steep used to ride my Bultaco 250cc Sherpa t over the same route 30 odd years ago this...

The android app is now in the google app store :) the bars look empty without the bafang display now to hide all the excess cables

It will not just effect Bosch it will apply across every manufacturer/ importer they will have to show an attempt to comply

I would be mighty upset if I dropped thousands on a bike and it stopped but then I am to tight to spend that and have to build/ convert my own :D

yes but the general user lacks your knowledge experience and will not know about it will just happen

I agree there will be a way round it;) but how can they justify if they retrofit older bikes that have an enforced software update by the dealer when just in for a service just to put the light out its not like bikes have to have an mot:eek:

love the disclaimer on the bottom that it might stop working if the motor software is changed or updated in the future

I hope your right

Check out the ktm post on here the new software will do this

It is not about a warranty, if they get this proposed law through dongles will break it and the bikes software record will prove it on the service print out , if so an offence will have been committed does the dealer have to report themselves for fitting it or the customer if they fit one...

If it says 500watt that will be nominal the peak will be much higher you will not know if it will increase the amps until you connect the laptop and try:rolleyes: my 250 watt will not go above 15 amps with out an error code :( others can go up to 20 amps without a problem they have different...

I can see your point about a road use pedelec but what about the mtb marketed as off road only higher performance machine will this also affect them ? so if you fit a dongle is it a criminal offence if it is, does the dealer have to report the owner

The repercussions of the software update to existing customers will be interesting to say the least:mad: if they use the bike on there own private land :( I think it would be not fit for purpose and a full refund required:eek: from the dealer that installs the update fun times ahead when the...

The phone can be in your pocket does not need to be on the bars

No not speculation one of the trade members a manufacturer that uses Bosch on here mentioned it on this forum. He also hinted other people had visits from uk trading standards Search for KTM BIKE INDUSTRIES on here think it was in june or july even talks about retro update to old bikes in...

Even if you tune it and remove it there is an anti tamper detection that has to log it the big brother [Bosch dealer] will remember every thing at service /software reset time :( The bigger question is what will the penalty be and who will enforce it all manufacturers will have to follow...

yes fast post but it was in the small jiffy bag so royal mail but I will not fit until sure of new build reliability

Will be able to tell you the zobop will have one next week just got to do a few more test runs with the large display its in a box on the bench it is tiny

The horrible thing is if they really want it they will take it from you at knife point or threat of acid attack at the traffic lights:eek: this is the current favorite way to steal /rob mopeds :( have sold my shinny road bike now ride a flat black non looker if I ride into London

Any additional security is only a deterrent to a casual thief make yours harder to steal than the one next to it:rolleyes: the only thing that works on a car is a disc steering lock that covers the whole wheel but this can be defeated eventually 15 to 20 mins delay ;) saab had a good idea...
