Bosch Launches Firmware Update for Existing Motors - More Torque, Higher Assistance
Do you really need more than 85nm? I only touch turbo once or twice a ride. But I guess I'm a bit out of touch nowadays.

Specialized Updates Levo 4 eMTB With Up to 22% More Power
I've ridden a Bosch Cx4 with only 85nm and turbo seemed crazy and I rarely used it. I cant believe people really want (or need) this much power.

Pinkbike Poll: How Do You Inflate Your Tires?
Ever since someone told me to point the presta valve up when filling (at the bottom, if that makes sense), I havent had a single valve gum up. Keeps the sealant out. Seems obvious, so yeah, I'm dumb for doing the opposite for a few years.

First Ride: 2025 Santa Cruz Vala AL eMTB
Can confirm. My Optic chainstay had to be rethreaded with a tap after the bolt messed up the threads.

First Ride: Devinci's New Made-in-Canada E-Spartan Lite
@forum747: I can only get 3000ft out of a full power Bosch with the 625wh battery, never in turbo. Pretty lame.

I had this exact problem actually. Download the software update but it would always fail to install. It was fixed by LBS plugging in and updating it. But kind of silly when you think about your bicycle getting updates. Luckily they work fine yet on old software.

Agreed. I plug in during a lunch break and get about 3100ft out of a 625wh Bosch. It only gains about 10%. I bought the range extender for this year, but a fast charger (80% in 1 hr) would solve all of this.
