Hi all, new here and to eMTB in general, so please be nice 
. My Moustache Samedi is equipped with a Bosch Performance Line Smart system and a 500 Wh battery. Does turning off assistance on flats and downhills increase range significantly? I've done a couple of hilly-ish 45 - 50 km rides, (450 - 550 m climbing) switching between off, eco, and tour and finish up with > 35% battery remaining. I reckon with prudent use of assistance, I could get up to 60 - 70 km on a full charge. But if it doesn't really make much difference, I might not bother. I've also noticed that when I switch back to eco mode, the estimated range readout gradually creeps up. Is that because it is recalculating and is by design?
