    Not a great start with e-bikes. Chain continually jumps off the front sprocket.

    Thanks. This is something I am going to consider if the problem stays as it is (rare, but happens on occasion). It would remove the having to drive out to recover the bike aspect of the problem.

    Not a great start with e-bikes. Chain continually jumps off the front sprocket.

    Followup on this thread. so the missus bike has had no chain jumps for 8+ months, until yesterday, when it did it again. So I decided to get a new chain (as mentioned, the original issues, which were very frequent, could have damaged the chain)...

    Help! Just got my first ebike (ADO A20F)

    "pedelec (from pedal electric cycle) or EPAC (Electronically Power Assisted Cycles), is a type of electric bicycle where the rider's pedalling is assisted by a small electric motor;" A twist and go is a electronic motorcycle.. if you can move without pedalling, it's not a pedelec

    Help! Just got my first ebike (ADO A20F)

    I'm confused. This forum is related to pedelecs, and this is an electric motorcycle.

    Bosch Nyon '21 Q/A & Top Tips

    Absolutely. I assumed new Nyon (as new bike). Old Nyon is more compatible with existing wiring.

    I can't believe that is the case, there is definitely work to do. Make sure they do what you have paid them for

    Bosch Nyon '21 Q/A & Top Tips

    Both are the same 4 wire system, but due to some poor planning, the display end connectors are different, so the entire cable needs replacing in the bike downtube. It's not difficult, I did mine, and glad I did it myself. The mount is different (much better) on Nyon, as is the controller unit.

    Bosch Nyon '21 Q/A & Top Tips

    Sussed it out. You need to be connect to (or perhaps recently connected to) the bike via Bluetooth for the app purchase to be offered in the apps shop. It wasn't showing for me, but as soon as I took my phone to the bike and turned on the head unit, it appeared again. I guess they don't want...

    Bosch Nyon '21 Q/A & Top Tips

    Interestingly for me, the Lock in app purchase has disappeared, Its only offering custom ride modes. Anyone else seeing this?

    Bosch Nyon '21 Q/A & Top Tips

    Question for someone that paid for the Lock add-on. Does it lock the nyon from being used on any other bike, in addition to the bike being used on any other display unit?

    Bosch Nyon '21 Q/A & Top Tips

    Nyon is the full deal, it has GPS oboard, Bluetooth and WiFi. You don't even really need to carry a phone, it will sync the ride to your home WiFi and the ebike connect website. The unit is shower proof, removable and i think the stats and customisation it offers is really good. I'm very...

    Bosch Nyon '21 Q/A & Top Tips

    Just upgraded my Bosch Intuvia to a Nyon MY21 and on the whole, very impressed. I didn't see an existing thread for users to ask questions, provide tips, so created this one. Here is my top tip (Using Nyon firmware 2.0.3.0). When using navigation, The default setting is to route via...

    Nyon or Kiox retrofit?

    I can help with that. I did something similar to me, I planned a route to start from a friend's house, started the navigation, but actually met him on the way. The navigation was obsessed about us going to his house (the official start point) before it would do anything else. To fix; On the...

    Nyon or Kiox retrofit?

    Haven't tried route planning yet, it's all set up to do so. My primary purchase reason was the smarts, not so much the routing, but the cost gap and upgrade hassle that I also needed to do for KIOX, it made sense to go all in with the NYON, rather than partially in. Will plan a weekend route...

    Nyon or Kiox retrofit?

    All fitted and working. Went for a ride, as so far impressed with the unit, it's attractive and responsive. My only wish would be some widgets for Bluetooth music controls.

    Nyon or Kiox retrofit?

    I did that in the end. I really wanted to avoid touching motor bolts, due to aligntment issues and torque settings. In the end, it's all assembled, I just need to tighten the Torx T30 screws when my amazon torque wrench arrives tomorrow (mine didn't go low enough), and buying a cycle torque...

    Nyon or Kiox retrofit?

    Turns out the problem was not getting to the down tube, but getting the old lead out, I have left it in situ and ran the new one alongside. And round the motor, not under (there is plenty of room behind the plastic housing to go around rather than under, so go knows why haibike ran the cable there)
