Sorry, that is not correct. After syncronising to Strava, you are automatically prompted with a notification: "this looks to be an ebike ride...; do you wish to change?".

Yes, but you actually need to open up Strava and click ‘yes’ to that prompt. If you don’t, the ride will still not be changed.
So you still have to remember to log onto Strava and manually correct it. If you don’t, your ebike ride will be recorded as a regular MTB ride.
Often I won’t open up Strava for a day or so after the ride, and it’s still marked as a MTB ride. So yes, there’s still a manual step involved as far as I can see
With the new emtb mode it should remove that process. I’ll check today.

I had a look for you but couldn’t find a guide on emtb for the Fenix.
But for me on my Levo, I turned on the bike, searched for sensors on my watch which found 3 bike sensors. I connected all of them with the exception of bike speed (as i have a garmin speed sensor) and then the ebike metrics (power etc) appear as a data field you can add to activity screens.
I think it works the same for Shimano powered bikes.
I also use the ebike-field data field set from Jan on this forum (its on the connectiq store) which gives some extra fields such as motor power mode.
Sorry its not a proper guide but hopefully helpful.

Does calories count take into account being emtb?
Maybe I am missing something but mine does not show heart rate like yours does at the top. When I start an eMTB activity it no longer captures or displays HR data.
Figured it out. Had to modify the data fields on the eMTB layout.
Bizarre. Still happening. I have a Garmin Fenix6. The Turbo Levo is discovered on the watch as a sensor. As soon as I start the Garmin eMTB activity from the watch, the heart rate goes away, does not display nor record. As soon as I stop the activity, the HR displays.
In case anyone else runs into this issue here is what I found. I had the bike discovered on my watch as a sensor. But there were three sensors from the bike. One of them was a HR sensor. What appeared to happen was the Garmin eMTB application was using the HR from the bike but I was not sending HR data to the bike so the ride had no HR data. As soon as I deleted the bike HR sensor from my watch, the eMTB app started to use the wrist HR data.

Yes I did the same the other day with my watch did exactly the same very strange no heart rate on the watch and also kept on doing short laps on the map stopping and starting during the ride 40 km ride ended up to be lots and lots of segments so disconnected it from the bike now don't really need it connected to it anyway

Thanks for this. I added eMTB to my Fenix 6, and added the HR screen. I haven't gone into my Strava yet to update to an E. That will be next.
