What ever happened to COBI.bike?
Anyone using this?
Bought by Bosch and used somewhat on their ebikes. May have just been a typical IT pump and flip.
? bike head unit nav computer/ GPS PAN controller using cellphone.
Nobody is getting this right
Not Garmin 1030+, not Hammerhead not ebikes.ca
Just piling incremental pieces on the bikes that don't talk to each other, getting things 60% right, maybe.
Took the Automotive industry how long to get it ?

Newbie
Came with my new ebike but I find it quirky and frustrating to use.
Anyone know of any resources for how to use? Like an instruction manual or a video? The stuff I could find, like their web manual , is useless. Seems the ones who did the website manual don't realize you can now use graphics on the web!

Propel Bikes in NYC carry the Bosch motored bikes and might be a good resource.
Bosch uses the COBI in some version, looks like they tried to integrate it with their display unit.
It sounds like a similar approach to the Hammerhead Karoo,
Android based, but the sideloading and connectivity doesn't get good publicized support like the Karoo.
