    Speed Pedelec successfully registered with DVLA (Riese & Muller Cruiser HS Vario)

    ...bother with giant bikes either as they use the yamaha motor but make there own displays and batts same as specialized with the brose motors can mean long wait if something needs to be replaced under warranty. tho a dongle will get you to about 35mph b4 it will cut power with the dongle i have ;)

    Speed Pedelec successfully registered with DVLA (Riese & Muller Cruiser HS Vario)

    My main issue with this is that they in true british fashion come up with arbitrary rules without those rules making much sense at all... and that is doing the respect of the law a disservice as most people would take it as just red tape for no reason and does you a disservice because it screws...

    3rd party bosch batts now available

    my original 400w batt is still working from 2014 but now only get about 2 miles per bar in turbo mode but i do use a dongle so they can last. i just cant see how it is environmentally friendly to just throw it in a bin because bosch makes it that way on purpose to just buy another over priced...

    Pedelec Law - The Details

    ...classed as a throttle so must be turned off at the factory. under 15mph the motor can use its full power otherwise it would be useless for going up hills ect so the motor can use around 800w under 15mph. so with a dongle you can turn them in to sclass motors but this only removes the speed...

    Help! TSDZ2 connection error with ST-LinkV2

    ...you reply TJS, appreciated. I have also tried it without the reset line, but I get the same error message. The leads between the plug and the dongle are short, 10 cm. I too thought it could be the dongle so I bought another one which gave me the same error message. If I run the software...

    Help! TSDZ2 connection error with ST-LinkV2

    ...the reset lead ? I found mine worked best with the reset line not connected. It is really important that the leads to between the plug and dongle are as short as possible . It is also possible that the dongle is faulty, if you run the software with the dongle not plugged in do you get a...

    Bosch ebike mechanical derestrictor

    A + for the idea, I’ve Been there and done that, the soft audible click gets louder the faster you go and the constant impacts will break stuff sooner rather than later. my zero impact pulley system worked well back in May 2019 https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/diy-mechanical-dongle.34683/

    First bike choice

    ...£80, or do some wiring and replace just the LCD for about £50. Bikes with Bosch motors can be derestriced by fitting an after market device (dongle), but you must check that the dongle you get will work with your Bosch software version. Shimano motors are similar. Bikes with Chinese...

    QWIC MA11 vs Stromer T5

    ...something you can fix yourself. You'd be better off getting something with a more mainstream system, like Bosch performance CX and fitting a dongle to derestrict it, if that's what you want, or better still, make your own. You could get something pretty decent for £1500. Conversion of a...

    Speed Box 3 B-Tuning for Bosch CX

    An observation regarding speedbox dongles. I have a 2016 Giant Road e+1 which has had a speedbox dongle wired in for most of its life. Contrary to what one might think the motor and battery have performed faultlessly for nearly 6000km with the battery still offering 30 to 40 miles of range on...
