    Bosch Smart System: auto mode.

    Can anyone tell me if my bike is not upgradeable to the "Auto" mode? My local dealer is telling me that I don't have a Smart system, and therefore can't get the Kiox updated. If this is the case, is it possible to upgrade the hardware I have to get that update? Thanks. Bike is a 2022 Mondraker...

    Safest place to mount a Bosch kiox

    Same, my Mondraker came with a very similar mount that everyone complains about because it sticks out beyond the stem. I just flipped it around and voila...I think it's relatively safe from harm there.

    Bulls evo am4

    Thinking the same, I'd like a bit better reliability. I've upgraded mine a ton, was hoping this would be my long-term bike. But the issues so far are disappointing, and I don't have a local dealer that can really help. The guys in San Diego were cool with the purchase process but have pushed me...

    Bulls evo am4

    I've had mine since April. Issue for the last two months with the motor engaging without input, staying engaged until I brake or backpedal. Told me to clean the area between the crankarms and BB, no improvement. Now also finding that I can turn the cranks under heavy torque and they "slip"...

    Levo, when I stop pedaling, the motor doesn't for a bit

    So my 2021 Bulls E-Stream EVO AM 4 (Brose S-Mag motor) just started developing the same symptoms, with the motor not disengaging after pedaling stops. Has anyone had any success with a solution other than having the motor replaced? The BMC software does not offer an option to reduce/turn off the...

    Yeah, I changed the stem and bars a couple months back. That's a pic of the bike in its original form, shortly after I got it.

    Bikes direct 2020 HAL eboost Team with integrated battery

    The bike has been great so far. I'm a big guy and I have been beating on it pretty hard, zero complaints about the frame whatsoever. It's a large frame, I think they call it a 20". The Shimano 8000 motor has been bulletproof so far, plenty of torque for my riding. Battery life with the 504W...

    Shimano XT 12 speed creaking

    There is definitely not a lot of grease in there, looks like I'll be buying some Shimano grease and giving that a shot. Thanks for the reply.

    Shimano XT 12 speed creaking

    Any update from anyone having issues with the XT rear hub? I'm experiencing the same thing and hoping there's a fix that doesn't require warranty replacement.

    How to fix Shimano ebike hub noise

    So, did your hub noise end up coming back? I did the below (thanks for the tip) due to having the same noise in my hub that you describe. I actually took my wheel in for truing/tensioning because it really did sound like loose spokes. After pulling the hub apart and re-seating that spring, I...

    Bikes direct 2020 HAL eboost Team with integrated battery

    I don't know...seems OK to me after one ride. I measure the HT angle at about 68 degrees. The front end is a bit on the short side, which works well for my proportions.

    Bikes direct 2020 HAL eboost Team with integrated battery

    Just got mine this week...this thing is a pisser. It's my first eMTB, so I have nothing to compare it to, but man...first ride last night and I couldn't stop smiling. Rode more miles at my local trails than I ever have, did some exploring, even got to ride some of the tougher fun parts more than...

    Decathlon STILUS Full Suspension Electric Mountain Bike - SRAM SX

    Hey guys, just took delivery of my Motobecane HAL eBoost Team, which seems pretty similar to the Decathlon Stilus in most respects. Different parts spec, different motor (Shimano e8000). Question for the owners...mine came with this plate just sort of hanging out in the bottom of the battery...
