Well I've fallen very much in to the N+1 category with my recent purchase! Originally visited the LBS where my Raleigh Strada E came from to have them look at the Di2 as it had been playing up a little (and I have zero clue when it comes to the Alfine hub so leaving that to the experts!) as you do was asking what they'd recommend as an upgrade. Short chat later I'm sat on the VERY red Cube and woah it's a god riding position for me already without changing the bars which I had to do with the raleigh. Picked it up yesterday and I've been for a very quick short spin and like it but weekend working put paid to any decent run out so that's monday evening sorted 
So coming from a STePs setup is there anything I should be aware of with the Bosch system? At the minute it's got Smart Sams on it but with the trails and maybe the odd run to work in Manchester I'm thinking of swapping them for maybe Schwabe Energiser like the Strada or maybe Marathon Pluses but I've had them slip out a couple of times on my non-ebike are the MTB versions any better or just the same?
The other upgrade I'm looking at is either Kiox or the Smartphone Hub just can't figure out which is better? I'm not likely to do much offroading (well until I get fitter maybe!) so having the phone up front shouldn't be an issue. Spoke with the LBS and if I can get hold of either retrofit kit they'll fit it for me, the gadget geek in me says the SmartphoneHub but they don't seem to be out yet that I can see. Anyone swapped from Purion to Kiox or even thinking about the smartphonehub?
Cheers,
Rob
