There are several different Garmin adapters which replace the stem end cap, but I have been using the K-Edge cap, it has been easy to use and very secure. https://k-edge.com/products/gravity-top-cap-mount?srsltid=AfmBOor0K0vAl3K1_6gUNI_2RRcZHmrxL5MAYiPo3FJVoDF3q0czeYk9 For me it worked fine...

I don't have any experience with the LEVO 4 EVO, but I've had the RAIL+ 9.8 GX for over a year and have been happy with it. No technical issues what so ever, but I have made some upgrades to fit better my riding style. Brakes and stock tires are probably still the weak points, if it still comes...

I have Trek RAIL+ and both performance updates (original 1.0, 100Nm and 2.0, 120Nm) went smoothly, no need for deleting the Flow app (Android) or emptying the cache. However, in both cases update was not available the day they said it will be, I had to wait for 1-2 days. I am totally fine with...

Yes, it was also now published on Bosch website: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/us/news/newfeatures-2026-05 and Pinkbike among others: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/bosch-launches-firmware-update-for-existing-motors-more-torque-higher-assistance.html

Check the latest Bosch update videos, there is some hope that Garmin integration is finally coming. More torque and assist is fine, but I am prob more excited about this : 5.1K views · 67 reactions | Ready for an upgrade? New features for your eMTB are coming on May 4. Stay tuned. 👀 | Bosch...

Based on ebike-mtb.com actual measurements, the Amflow PR Carbon Pro (Size L) weighs in at 24.2kg (53.3lbs), not sure if that's with or without pedals. https://ebike-mtb.com/en/amflow-pr-carbon-pro-test/

The sensors detecting jumps, wheelies, and stoppies are in the Bosch motor. So, these features work regardless of the display for both Bosch CX Gen 4 and Gen 5 systems.

Yes, it is annoying, to silence your Kiox, go to Settings > My Kiox > Volume and select Off. You can also choose Low, Medium, or High. I think the sounds are really only useful if you rely on Kiox navigation alerts.

Just wanted to add that the Bosch CX Gen 5 already supports SRAM derailleurs powered directly by the e-bike battery. For some reason this isn't always implemented, but for instance, my Trek Rail+ 9.8 GX has it. Currently, Bosch hasn't released the Auto Shift or Coast Shift features for SRAM, but...

How about better reliability? It would be nice to have a 300% longer MTBF (mean time between failures). :unsure:

I've also been wondering what the difference is between the Bosch Gen 4 and Gen 5 chainrings. I ended up ordering a specific SRAM Gen 5 chainring for my Bosch Gen 5, which, of course, fit perfectly. The chainline (55 mm) and mounting seem identical, but SRAM has separate models and part numbers...

The first solid-state battery motorbike has just been released. I wonder how long it will take before we see the first EMTB with this technology? https://www.donutlab.com/battery/

At least Bosch and Brose (Levo) both store the ODO value in the motor, so if the motor is replaced, the ODO will reset to zero.

I fully agree the motor and battery power-to-weight ratio is an interesting comparison, but it doesn't tell you anything about the real performance. It's, of course, obvious, but the motor and battery themselves don't move anywhere, nor does the bike itself. To consider the real power to weight...

This is the complete list of customizable Kiox 400c display options with the latest SW version. I think the "Time" setting displays the clock time, so I don't believe there's a way to display the total ride time as you described. Ascent Battery (eBike) Battery (Smartphone) Cadence & cadence avg...
