    Shimano modes and motor set up

    Ok, It sounds as if there's more to differentiate Trail and Boost than just the amount of torque and assist. Can someone explain the difference, please? Use small words! ;-)

    Shimano E tube ..on my Focus Jam Question

    As I tried to explain before, the GPS is much less accurate and will produce shorter distances than the built-in bicycle computer. It will do okay with straight lines, but does very poorly on routes with a lot of twists and turns.

    Ride your acoustic lately? I did, this morning!

    “ Acoustic“ isn’t really my favorite word, but it seems to be en vogue for words which are not ‘lectrified. I assume it relates to electric guitars and acoustic guitars. I prefer to think of them as technological have Nots!. Iassume it relates to electric guitars and acoustic guitars. I prefer...

    Shimano E tube ..on my Focus Jam Question

    Interesting. Is the bike pretty new? Are you comparing mileage with a GPS? That mileage is usually a lot shorter than the mileage from the bike computer which will be more accurate.

    Shimano modes and motor set up

    I don't think you understand the graph. The graph isn't of how much torque the motor is putting out, it's how much assistance it's giving. If the rider is putting out 10 Nm then the motor can give you 30 Nm (300% assist), but if the rider is giving 30 Nm the motor cannot give 90 Nm, because the...

    How are you transporting your Merida?

    I've looked at getting a motocycle rack. Much cheaper than a bike rack, and certain to be strong enough!

    Shimano modes and motor set up

    I don't think there's anything funky about the way the power comes in, other than the fact that it doesn't seem to start until about 5 Nm or torque are detected. The graphs drop off because the users input increases after the motor has reached either the maximum output, or the maximum output...

    North Carolina and South Carolina ebikers

    Not sure what you mean by a range. Yes, I have to drive to get to any trails, but I'm fortunate enough to have 100 miles of so of trails withing 30 minutes of so of my house.

    Trek Rail - first ride

    Ah, the danger of e-bikes that you don't hear about! It's easy to ride stuff a lot faster than you're used to, and sometimes faster than your skills are ready for!

    Remove speed restrictions for free

    Your guess is as good as mine. Assuming the motors sold for US use are the same as those sold for use in countries with the lower speed limit then it would seem logical that the warranty would be good, but if Shimano for some reason did not want to warranty a motor then they could use that as a...

    Do you ride your EMTB with people on acoustics?

    Perhaps I should have said "action shots?" I think most people enjoy having a photo of themselves riding their bike from time to time.

    Shimano modes and motor set up

    Don't they all adjust based on pedal input, but with different levels of assistance to facilitate battery management, and personal preferences?

    Why do some people focus primarily on motor/battery as their deciding factor?

    And once you get it, you start dreaming about the next one...

    Charging times; a table

    Yes, the gist of this thread is that batteries will last much longer if only charged to 80%.

    Soooo much lighter than it used to be!

    Emtb you tube video illustrating etunes app for Shimano steps 8000

    Yep, bricked my computer as soon as I brought it home so couldn't ride all weekend. ST Unlocker is much more useful for tuning, and ST Ride is a good replacemote for Shimano's E-Ride app as well as for Strava. You do have to upload the GPX files into Strava manually, though.

    I didn't really see a question, but good luck!
