Was off the meds 3-4 days after the op sadly
It was nice to go to the toilet eventually.

Ugh the Bosch controls integration is terrible given the solutions that some other manufacturers have come up with.
And you'd have thought they'd centre the integrated light for the media demo bike...

Review: 2023 Ibis Oso - Pinkbike
The Oso's an interesting new addition to the eMTB world.

Bosch Kiox 300 seems pretty clever shit. The screen is a bit in-yer-face and there must be a better mounting system for it.
Navigation (basic), alarm, immobiliser, activity recording and other extras. Seems everyone has a gripe about ebike controls... I'm not really giving it much thought to be honest, it is what it is.
Already replaced a full ebike cockpit with Yamaha Syncdrive/Giant RideControl screen and controller when the missus went OTB in Derby, was not a cheap replacement. The normal mounting for the Kiox 300 is above the stem so I know why Ibis have put it where it is.
Would the OneUp e bar clean up that cockpit?

Carbon E-Bar
The Most Compliant E-Bike Rated Bar On the Market E-Bikes let you ride further for longer. They’re heavier and more physically demanding to ride. That makes reducing fatigue even more important. Our Carbon E-Bar is 20% more compliant than other carbon handlebars. That means more comfort and less...

Dunno how messy it will be till I get it.
Its only got the controller cable and light cable more than a normal bike, cant be too hard to tidy up.
My Evil had XTR Di2 with the Pro Tharsis bars and stem, similar thing to the OneUp with those channels and holes. For some reason wires look so much more untidy than cables/hoses.

Not knowing that much detail about these controller systems but can you upgrade to the Bosch wireless controller?
Trek offers the rail in both specs and their XT build with wireless bosch is $4K RRP cheaper... And in their cheaper offering, they have mounted the Kiox display unit on the TT out of the way
I'm sure you'll love it but it's the MTBer way to criticise every bike someone is excited about

Yeah objectively the Levo seems to be the winner for ease of use, especially with the deals on them currently that alloy one for $8k has a spec that's only a slight premium over a normal bike. Trek Rail 7 looks promising as well.I actually don't mind the look of the Levo. They are also in nearly every top 3 ebike review, the spec is pretty good and the warranty is excellent.
If it wasn't for this bike being in stock, I'd have went for the Levo Expert or maybe even Pro... as they are on sale
Trawling through options currently as after NZ the girlfriend has indicated she's very keen on an ebike. Just have to try and find a way to get one and keep the HD4 somehow
