Sweet ride! I read Bosch are rolling out a firmware update to increase torque on certain Bosch gen 4 motors from 75 to 85nm. EBR says your ebike has the Performance Speed MY20 motor, the Bosch press release mentions Performance Speed MY21 motors get the upgrade but also says “Performance Speed drive units cannot be retrofitted”. Might be worth checking with the dealer what the score is. Regardless I love Gazelle’s step-through ebikes and yours looks more capable than the EasyFlow I test rode for a month a couple of summers back.
Oh that’s interesting! I wouldn’t complain about an additional 10nm of torque, but frankly 75nm already feels pretty good, especially on my hilly commute. Because of the heat and wearing work clothes, I rode pretty conservatively this morning (first commute on the Gazelle, and my first real ride on a mid-drive), but I imagine the ride home will be seriously fun.
