Hi guys! The training is through (I should have posted this sooner to get questions). They didn't talk much about the Bosch system, the instructor is not in favor of 20+mph ebikes (for legal liability reasons and how that might impact the movement for al of us) we did talk about how someday electric bikes might recognize the rider and integrate more gps and customizations (like motor sounds, lights etc.) mostly it was about diagnosing problems, understanding how batteries work and working as a dealer in the space. I learned a lot about what it means to be a dealer and made some great new friends
It was also really cool to tour the ProdecoTech headquarters and meet the founders. I asked them about future models (called out the battery position and lack of assist). They are working on both and should have some neat solutions out at some point soon. They are also working to keep the price issue on Amazon and eBay in check (this hurts dealers).
I spoke directly with many of their Florida dealers who loved the brand and thought they were amazing at honoring their warranty. I gained a lot of respect for them and their transparency. They have read my reviews and thought they were fair even though the ratings have been average for the rear-pack designs. I really enjoyed seeing the new
Titanio 29er and also got to review a couple bikes that haven't been released yet
