    Running lights from Bosch gen 4 power port...

    To summarize what is said in the thread. In order to use lights on the Bosch motor, you need to get the ports activated by your dealer. When you activate the ports, you can set the power of the lights from 3W to ...? The motor then automatically adjusts the cut off point for the battery to...

    Running lights from Bosch gen 4 power port...

    Read that thread, Low Battery Cutout for Bosch Gen4? It explains a lot. What I got from it. (This is my interpretation so might be wrong) The displayed Percentage is what is available for assist, and takes into consideration the reserve for lights. If your motor cuts of before 0%, this is...

    Running lights from Bosch gen 4 power port...

    I haven't gone till the end for 2 years now, but I do know it shut off at 8% when I didn't expect / need it to.

    A friend of mine has just bought a new Cube and gets this error. The shop said they needed to send the motor in. He hasn't done it yet. I'll send him this trhead.

    Running lights from Bosch gen 4 power port...

    I feel your pain completely. I absolutely love having built in lights that are always there, and always work without recharging. However, the early cut off is a pain in the royal ass. (I'm not royal by the way) I try to take that into account when biking, and the remaining range display takes...

    How to get heart rate from Garmin fenix 6 displayed on bosch kiox

    So basically, as Fenix is not on the list, then it is not supported.

    How to get heart rate from Garmin fenix 6 displayed on bosch kiox

    I gave up. I have the Garmin Edge 830 which I use for navigation and connects to my Fenix 3 for heart rate

    Kiox won't finish ride and sync

    What I find extremely helpful since the last Kiox update, is you can see if your Phon is connected or not. If it is not connected there is an Orange Dot on the main screen. When connected, then it is grey/white. If the phone is connected then it always synchronises.

    Purion : % battery for each bar.

    It doesn't blink or anything. Just suddenly the power stops. That is where the Shimano was perhaps better, it would turn red, then automatically switch to Eco for the last few KM. On the Kiox, it starts giving you low battery warnings starting from 30%.

    If you change your Purion (and maybe others..)

    Mine cuts off at 8%.. yeah found out the hard way. I had to push up a 16% road a couple of KM. Was on a day I did over 3000m climb, so I was exhausted too.

    If you change your Purion (and maybe others..)

    If you want to use a light on, you normally have to get it activated by your bike shop. With the Kiox, if you press the light button, then there is a symbol on the display. I didn't know that it reduces the range but maybe explains something. I have only run my battery completely empty once on a...

    Kiox Display Need Charging?

    I have never had to charge mine. Only my wife's one after it got a bit wet. But it seems to have fixed itself.

    Bosch Gen 4 Error Code 550

    I didn't mention I got a new motor from Bosch the other day. From taking my bike in to when I picked it up it took 11 days which I find pretty impressive. The bike shop has to find time to take the motor out, send it to Bosch, then get the motor back and re-mount it on the bike. So you have no...

    Bosch Gen 4 Error Code 550

    550 means short circuit. So can be caused by water or a cable problem. I had it when my lights cable wore through. Error came when I turned the lights on.

    Yes, I have lights on my bike.

    Purion : % battery for each bar.

    It was a Kiox. Was nasty as we found we had to climb an extra 480 m to our hotel, which was advertised as 6km out of town. Turns out that was as the crow flies, and up a mountain pass. I had to push for way too long! It was a rude shock when I was trying to nurture my battery and thought that...

    Bosch Gen 4 Error Code 550

    I had the 550 error when one of my light cables short circuited. Code came as soon as I turned the light on.
