I’ve just watched your video. Whoever is riding this rather noisy motored Ebike is the type of person who will eventually ensure we all lose the special dispensation that allows us to to ride our Ebikes without tax insurance etc etc. Complete disregard for the safety of pedestrians and other...
Please see my previous post.
Yes I will. As long as you only ride the bike dongle fitted in an area where the general public cannot gain access.
I assume you understand that riding an electric bike that is capible of assisted speeds of more than 15.5mph anywhere the public have access is...
We would prefer people to ride legal bikes here in the U.K. but if you ever buy one of our bikes I will personally offer you the same deal as long as you guarantee not to put the ebike market at risk in the U.K. by riding the bike, dongle fitted anywhere the general public have access.
All the...
Sorry buddy but you are really scraping the barrel now. Let’s just agree to disagree!
I really hope you continue to enjoy your Bosch powered bike. They really are very good indeed. I have nothing against them. You now know why we freely chose Shimano for our eMTB range.
All the best, David
It’s not just us.....
Shimano E8000 Drive for Electric Mountain Bikes
The Shimano E8000 drive released this year has caused quite a stir already, and understandably so.
Following on from our previous news story about the fantastic new FOCUS range of bikes featuring the Shimano E8000, the Jam2...
We have looked. We have looked extensively.
I know it’s tough to swallow, especially if you have invested in old tech but in our opinion the E8000 is currently superior to the CX. Nearly everyone that tested our bikes at the show agreed with us. I am not saying Bosch is a poor motor. It’s very...
HI Eddie, please look at my posts again. They did have a couple of overheating problems a while ago, now all resolved to our satisfaction.
Bosch also has issues as we found out over the three years we were selling their motors. Also All now resolved.
I didn’t say I wouldn’t touch Bosch with a...
So German Bosch owners writing on a German forum about a German motor being better than a Japanese manufacturer’s is more likely to be unbiased than we are?
I remember the American car industry doing the same thing!
Bosch however are on it, their new light weight offerings look as if they will...
Wasn’t the question why did Bosch close their sponsored track to Shimano when Shimano were happy to open their sponsored track to Bosch?
I think we all know!
All the best, David
It’s great to read that Bosch have such loyal owners. Bosch owners chose Bosch and I am sure they believe that they made the right decision. As I say it’s great to see such passion. I am sure some people will always prefer Bosch and we are completely open minded for the future. I have to ask...
It’s a shame you will never experience owning one of our bikes and I am sad to read that. I assure you I am not discrediting anyone or anything. Pot, kettle??
I don’t think I need to repeat what I’ve said. But for your reference we think Bosch motors are great, just not as good as Shimano on...
We ran with Bosch for three years and will do again in the future. It’s tough to read I know, but the E8000 is the best out there... in our opinion. We are totally satisfied the early overheating issue is resolved. We’ve had many issues with Bosch over the years, like Shimano they have also...
We’ve spoken to Shimano about this in detail. There is absolutely no problem with overheating now if there were we would not have gone with them.
Thanks fir your interest.
Hi Eddie, thanks for pointing that out again. As already discussed, the one or two overheating problems happened a long time ago to the MK1 motors.
We asked those that rode the Shimano 8000 system on the test track which they preferred out of all the riders over four days only one couple said...
