As a SErvice Manager on my other day job, I deal with a bit of Bosch and Shimano ebike motors. So far the Bosch motors are the least troubled options. We have customers with 20000+kms on their units still working well, Biggest problem with the Bosch systems are the wiring to the displays. After our Atmospheric River events in October and November, quite a few units have been showing the signs of water damage. The bikes are mostly still in operation but the displays are not. In some cases the Kiox displays shutting down do strand the riders away from home on very heavy bikes. Live to Play involvement with Bosch is bad to horrible. As they are restructuring, the response to emails and calls have been less good. Hopefully they can hire to pick that slack up.
