But if assist is tied to pedal input, the battery drains faster the harder I pedal.
That's why I set my limits low. Pedaling harder with a lower limit, means I reach the limit sooner and put in more of my own power instead of using more battery.
On default settings I get 28km, 800-900m pretty consistently out of my 378Wh Focus.
Tuning assist and torque levels hasn't made much difference for me. No matter how I change the assist % , if I put in more power, the motor will put in more power aswell.
That's why i recently started tweaking...
Thanks for linking those.
That's definitely the same noise as on my bike.
After reading the linked german pedelecforums thread, i conclude that (almost) all E8000 Motors seem to have the issue (even new ones in the bikeshop) or develop this after a few hundred KM. One or two said the issue is...
I noticed the same, more as feeling on the pedals than noise though.
Recently I started turning the motor off for the downhills. Not sure if it got rid of the issue, but it definitely reduced the problem.
Also noticed my cassette was slightly loose, might be something to check to reduce noise.
