OnBikeX posted this German-language Youtube video on Sep 15, 2011 about the Bosch system:

The caption to the vid on YT reads:

In 2012 wird es den Bosch Motor für E-Bikes auch in der 45 km/h Version geben. Wir sprachen mit Julia Patzelt über die Vorteile des Bosch Antriebssystems und erklären, warum weniger oft mehr ist.

Which Google translates as:

In 2012, it will give the Bosch motor for e-bikes in the 45 km/h version. We spoke with Julia Patzelt about the advantages of the Bosch drive system and explain why less is often more.

It is here. The speed hack no longer seems to work. It would be nice if this system could be made faster. Bionic leg feel on your fast e-bike.

This system looks amazing! Besides buying a whole bike? I think one of the new 45-50 km/hr models would be some serious fun!

KTM is making a pretty sweet looking race version with it:



I love the extra torque, balance, weight reduction, efficiency, and gearing control of the mid-drive motors. But until this point haven't seen one that appears to be so stealthy, quiet, and durable. Building it right into the crank should afford some decent weight savings too.

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on one? Suppose you'd probably have to butcher one of these nice looking production bikes and customize a frame.... sounds like a lotta effort. Any idea what the motor/battery/controller setup is worth on these? Looks to me from some of these bikes they're not overly expensive.

Hmmm ?
250 /500W max ( 15 A controller ?)
pedalec only
speed limited
8 Ahr battery
requires a custom /modified frame
Price.. ??? .. $2000 + ??

Why am i not excited ?
