This is an easy one, note I'm retired embedded software engineer. The CX engine electronics has access to the output from the speedbox, but it also has access to pedal movement (cadence). The relationship between these is also reliant on choice of gear, however gears don't have unlimited range...
Are you suggesting that the Flow app gets speed from somewhere other than the kiox, such as the GPS chip on the smartphone on which the Flow app is installed? I'm aware that it COULD do this but not that it actually does at present. Does anyone have an answer to this? Of course, even if it...
I now have the answer, directly from MagnicShine! Apparently, the solution has always been there, but not mentioned in users manual. I quote from an email received from MagicShine:
"This light when use as ebike, the built in light sensor will work.
When riding outside (pls do not test in...
hi,
I have a Cube Reaction Hybrid Race 625 with Magicshine 906s headlamp and the correct cable to connect to the Bosch Gen 4 CX aux port, professionally fitted by 99 bikes here in Australia. I found "ebike mode" in 906s users manual, which seems to work great at night, but I have been unable to...
If one doesn't feel the need for assistance above 25KPH, why impose this limitation on others? I fail to see the motivation behind retaining this 25KPH cut-off, except of course that it may limit the sales of cheap and dangerous chinese ebikes that have no limiter But those outside of China...
Has anyone else used "DeOxit" by Caig? I've been using it on tons of things including bike chain and hubs since 1998. It's pretty expensive and actually made for electrical contacts, but what it does to moving metal parts seems to go a bit beyond normal lubricants. I rode 10K KM on my old...
It appears that there are basically two camps here. Those that agree that assistance cut-off should be at least 32KPH, and those that don't care, but for some reason post here anyways. Personally, I like to to go back to first principles and in this argument, that brings about the question...
hi all,
I'm 65yo living in Ipswich QLD Australia. I rode bikes in my teens then had a break for a few decades while busy at work. Failing health got me interested in lifestyle choices that could theoretically improve my healthspan, and thus the decision to buy an ebike in 2018. It was a 29"...
hi gearfreak, I have CX, Kiox 300 and have similar desires for greater speed. While I'm certainly interested in speedbox and thus how it goes for you, I'm also looking at alternatives that I'd be happy to share in PM. Speedbox 1.1 or 1.1B seems to be the solution of choice right now however my...
