Thank you

How's the power on that new bosch drive?

 

[AirMarky]

500W max. Power, 250W continuous output

 

[neptronix]

Yeah i know, but how does the power feel to you

What is your top speed... does it climb hills well etc

 

[AirMarky]

It feels strong, climbing "very steep" 18-20 km/h

Hi,

Where did you get this thing? Are there any videos with the sound of the bike?

The drive-train and battery are base around the Bosch ebike system.
http://www.bosch-ebike.de/en/ebike/homepage.html

There are 18 bike manufacturers had adapted the system, I believe all of them are European manufacturers:

Bosch had not plan to release this product to North America market in 2011. May be in 2012.

Here is video how to disassemble the entire system:

NICE JUMPS

I wanted to see some steep hill climbs. I want to hear that motor under strain!

 

[skadamo]

Hill climb...

[The Stig]

I mean steep! like the bike is barely able to make it.

 

[skadamo]

I hear ya. I found steep and "barely make it". but no sound and very loose.

We need good tacky dirt and natural sound.

 

[dbaker]

After accelerating to 25 kph in just a few seconds, the motor automatically shuts off. This means that an e-bike equipped with this system still qualifies as a bicycle under German law.

 

[Whiplash]

Lol! My bike would climb triple that incline! Nice bike though, very clean design!

 

[The Stig]

LETS SEE IT
On loose terrain!

 

[GCinDC]

more big jumps please.

 

[Whiplash]

Ill post one tonight, I can't from my phone...

SKIP TO 11 Minutes and you can see the trail snaking up the mountain. This trail is a challenge to WALK up let alone bike... This is also with only 1500 watts peak, and MUCH less than that most of the time.. Oh yeah, and I don't have to pedal at all unless I feel like it.

I didn't watch all of it but there were some serious inclines and serious torque going to the rear wheel there. And man was there lot of noise coming from that motor. I had to turn down the volume... But to be honest I really wanted to see some loss of grip, some loose terrain. We need sustained wheel spin!

 

[Whiplash]

Yeah that was the first version of the box, just to prove the concept. The new one should be waaaay quieter!

:lol: All this will prove is that either the bike is not controllable or the rider has no control over the bike
