    Bosch Active Line back-pedal

    Yes - no problem freewheeling downhill. I just spoke to the guy who I bought it from (second hand dealer ) and he says it won’t be the bearings but instead the chain needing replacing? But it is making a grinding noise

    Bosch Active Line back-pedal

    I have a one year old bike with Bosch Active Line Plus drive. The drive sometimes seems to lock so that I can’t backpedal at all which is annoying at traffic lights etc when I want to reposition the pedals to get going again. Only way to move pedals is to move forwards. Any ideas what the issue...

    Bosch motor/display cutting out.

    Hello - I have two bikes (both 6 months old) . They are both now cutting out. Sometimes it’s just the speed number that disappears and the drive stops providing power. In this case the power returns to normal after 5 or 10 seconds. Other time the whole display (Intuvia) goes blank and I need to...

    Bosch Performance Line Noise

    And now an immediate follow up.... The motor is beautifully quiet but since I got the bike back last week the chain keeps jumping off the front chain set.... Any ideas what I should adjust.....or do I have to go back to the dealer?

    Bosch Performance Line Noise

    Just to offer a follow up on the noise issue if anyone is interested.... So I took the bike to the dealer again. They simply said that motors are meant to be noisy. I guessed part of the problem was that I bought the bikes in Rotterdam so my local Bosch ebike dealer is not the shop that sold it...

    Bosch Performance Line Noise

    You would have thought so but as long as the diagnostics says it’s good then they say it’s working ok - which it is but just noisy. Maybe it’s possible that one bike has a more recent version of the performance line? The difference between the two noise levels has been obvious since day one...

    Bosch Performance Line Noise

    No. Both motors pass the diagnostics test. Dealer says they don’t know what the problem is and can’t return to Bosch as it’s passes all diagnostics. Both motors perform fine. It’s just that whining noise is really annoying especially when out on a run in the country where peace & quiet are appealing

    Noisey Bosch motor?

    Thanks for the reply. Both motors are Performance Line. I did consider buying Active Plus but both are definitely Performance Line motors

    Noisey Bosch motor?

    Did you ever get to the bottom of the difference in noise? Check out my thread to see what’s happening to my wife’s bike compared to mine. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/bosch-performance-line-noise.34207/

    Bosch Performance Line Noise

    I purchased two new Gazelle bikes for me and my wife. Identical model both with Bosch Performance Line motors. My bike’s motor sounds like a very noisy milk float - whining away as you pedal. My wife’s motor is significantly quieter - almost silent. Can anyone advise why one engine is so...
