Have a look at the emax app for fine tuning Eco.
I've just set mine back to the original Eco setting 60 as I think I'd manage the bike around most of what I do in that and my trail is set to 70, boost 90.

Thanks, yeah I'm happy with eco as is, it seems like a good setting, I basically run that 90% of the time and flick it onto trail briefly around gnarly rocky and rooty steep switchbacks etc. More interested in the assist side? what it actually represents

Not sure which has the biggest impact but could assume torque would be the biggest drain.
That's why I dropped my Eco to 55/25 , trail 80/60 and boost 100/70
But tbh I had to use trail more as Eco wasn't quite enough....
Ecos back to factory settings60/30 but trail 80/55 boost 100/70 so I'll see how that works.

Thats pretty much were I'm at. I never use boost. Run stock eco, and have backed trail to 100% (thats actually higher than stock) assist and 50NM (down from 70NM.

I'm getting around 32km out of the battery now in fairly cruisy shuttle hill climbs to DH tracks. 90% eco 10% trail.

On more technical very steep climbs I'm down to around 28km. only.

I'd like the tec pack, as the above is only about 1hour and 40 minutes.

Anyone know Barhatch Lane near Cranleigh?
Wow I think I used nearly 2 bars getting up that road. Lowest gear and in Turbo and still it was tough.

Personally i am ridning a giant fathom, and it got 5 power settings.
I use 2 and 3 only.
2 for normal ridning, and 3 for hills.
I think 1 is giving me 100% identical as a non ebike experience, and 4 and 5 is worth less to me, unless you are trying to climb mount everest.

Same bike here and I use the same settings.

I used 3 getting (mostly pedalling bit o push down to lack of grip) to the top of skiddaw via sale how, dropped off ullock pike along the ridge and went down to red...
Tried switching off and on again but still red although made it back to Braithwaite no worries.
New battery in and off t winlatter.
My eco now is 35/55
Trail 90/65
Boost 110/70

Depends on where you ride and what type of rider you are. Living in the Alps I used to use turbo quite a lot and eco hardly ever on the stock settings. I have now increased eco to 30% support, which is sufficient to get up to over 20kph on the flat a slight inclines. I put trail up to 60% and now find that eco and trail are OK for about 90% of the time, only needing Turbo when very steep. This seems to be a sensible use of the support modes for me and where I ride, but you need to experiment.
