Skippy Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 On 08/10/2023 at 23:59, Pedro said: The trick is to ride away in off mode, then turn it into eco mode. By starting is turbo boost mode will ruin anything you do after. Anyone that had ever cycled will know that keeping a 20kmh average is proper hard word, turn on turbo mode in an electric bike and suddenly 25kmh uphill feels like the walk to check your mailbox in the morning. Expand Starting in ‘off’ mode completely defeats the object of an ebike but I do appreciate the general approach you’ve described Pedro. I started on ‘Low’ progressed to ‘Eco’ and settled on ‘Mid’ for 95% of the ride………but it was a shit load of fun going up very steep hills in ’Extreme’ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
