Mine said same and did not turn up. Phoned courier next day who said they had scanned it into the wrong place? Rebooked for tomorrow. The Stilus delivery just keeps on giving............

I got the "scanned in the wrong part of the warehouse" BS also.
 
Had a first ride with the 85nm software update today mainly on EMTB mode (as if i've understood correctly, this is where it's claimed most of the software changes are. )


First observations, (comparing only with 3x1.5 hour "75nm" rides since delivery from decathlon on Tuesday )
-seems a bit more more "progressive", reacting more to how hard or soft I push down , enabling a bit more throttling of the level of assist
-the cut-out at top speed seems a little less harsh, felt less of a jolt forwards when going past the 16mph.
-the lag from starting on a slope seems a bit reduced. had found this a bit annoying pre-update, especially when in wrong gear.

Not sure i felt any distinct torque difference, but i didn't do many of the slower hills this run.


Other things I gleaned from the bosch guy...
-the motor has a setting that can be programmed for the crank length. He measured this as 165mm on the stilus, but reported that the software had been set at the ">=170" setting rather than "<=165" setting available. He offered to change it, but I decided to keep it the same in order for a like for like comparison
-there's a blank field on the config, that he recommended putting your mobile number into, in the event that if the bike was stolen, it would serve as proof of ownership. so i did.

Very good to know, I'll be asking them to do the same when I do the update... well provided I get the bike... :p

Mine was wrapped in a thin layer of protective polythene, for what ever good it did. Make sure you get them to remove it and give the bike a good check over before you take it. Luckily the dint in mine was quite obvious and easily seen; by anyone who could be bothered to look that is.

Mine was number 2 of 26 and is here now. It was missing the stem bolts and the brakes need bleeding as they don’t work at all. Maybe some more stuff will have a look later.

Nothing important then ??.
 
Super surprised it has the 6a £150 fast Bosch charger included though. Even some £6k bikes come with the cheapo 2a charger.

Will you be mentioning the online order process in your video Rob? ??

Will you be releasing the video at 11pm, the time all Stilus owners are familiar with? We can then keep refreshing it every 30 seconds until the early hours just to bring back the old memories ??

Glad its arrived Rob. The brakes are worrying though. I can handle pretty much most repairs and maintenance but coming from v brakes, bleeding disc brakes might involve a learning curve.

Being part of this forum you shouldn't worry about such things. Everything you need to know is on here (y)
 
Brakes are definitely not bled. Seems they’ve just cut the hoses down and are full of air. No issues for me personally as I have all the SRAM bleed kit. But a pain if yours arrives like mine and you haven’t got the kit / need to take it to a store.

Incidentally I can’t see a size on mine. Although it’s listed as a ‘48’ which I hope is XL
