And the reason I keep it at near the lowest assist level is because my objective is to get some good workout done while going uphills on a regular basis
It's been working out great! The range is huge for me - more than 8000-ft of elevation gain (over 80-miles). But then I keep it near the lowest assist setting at 27Nm mostly. Having full 85Nm is really good to have which I seldom use, but when I do it feels really good - the bike feels like on...
From Orbea Rise 2023 blue paper -
So it seems you should be able to first use the main battery without the range extender plugged-in, and at some point later when you plug-in the extender the motor will switchover to the extender.
I went with 540wh battery for my 2023 M-team. I'm ~62kg, getting around 10K ft of elevation gain and ~80miles+ with single charge across multiple rides. All my rides are loops, so half of it is basically downhill and hence, no assist involved. I ride at Eco with 27Nm max setting at which the...
The lowest level gets the blue color, highest one yellow, and rest of the middle levels green color.
The specific level is shown as x/y in the small bike computer display as seen below in the green bar -
Shimano E-Tube Project App. The procedure is described here: si.shimano.com
Basically you create an assist profile with "Fine Tune Mode" as seen in the following screen -
Y'day I asked my dealer how come the torque of 85Nm being available on my bike. Their response was that I'm one of the lucky ones who received one of those bikes that slipped w/o the firmware that restricts the motor to 60Nm. They also said that they inquired Orbea if they should reload the...
The fine tune mode in the Shimano App lets you set all the way up to 15 levels. In one of my profile, I've enabled 8-levels as you can see in the original post. The other profile is the standard - Eco/Trail/Boost modes.
I bought 2023 Orbea Rise M-Team from an Orbea authorized dealer / LBS in SF Bay Area (California USA)
To my surprise the Shimano Steps E-Tube shows 85Nm as seen in the image below -
I haven't explored any backdoor hack or anything like that. This is the way the bike came.
And BTW the assist...
Basically I'm a new rider in that never ridden bike since my school days for over 30-yrs now.
3-weeks ago I bought a new 2023 Orbea Rise M-Team.
I'm learning, exploring, and having fun.
