What should I be doing? It’s my first one and it feels fine on defaults, but I can’t be having settings and not optimising them! Only a few rides in and this is the last thing I left to experiment with.
I know what they all do. But unlike with suspension I don’t really know what better/worse or too much/little feels like. Or good trail scenarios to try different settings on while paying attention to the effect of each setting.
The bike is a lightweight with TQ motor, but this question probably isn’t specific to that although some things might be different for light vs. full power bikes.
Max power is 30-300W, defaults are eco 99W, mid 180W, high 300W. I’ve been mostly been using the lowest mode I can while maintaining a good cadence, unless I’m squeezing in a short ride of an hour or two.
Assist is 25-200%, defaults are eco 86%, mid 112%, high 156%. The feeling is fine throughout the input power range. I did notice in high when feeling lazy it was this that was limiting the power to lower than 300W because I was putting in a bit less than the requisite 192W.
Pedal response is from slow to fast, default is just under halfway on all modes. I was thinking bumping it up at least in high for more power setting off from stationery on chunky climbs.
Cutoff speed is 5-25km/h, default is max in all modes. I was thinking of lowering in eco as on long flat-ish bits I’d rather save battery for the climbs than go faster, which I currently do by turning assist off manually by long pressing the bar remote.
