WOW - just returned from my first ride using the BLEvo app! This may be old news to BLEvo vets, but it was an eye opener to this late adopter. I’ve had a 2018 Comp Carbon for 11 months and 2200km, motor 1.3, firmware 5.0.0, battery firmware 2.22.3. I’ve used Mission Control exclusively, typically running Eco/Trail/Turbo at 30/60/100 with Standard Acceleration. I prefer the Acceleration options of battery firmware v.22 (Eco to Race options) compared to v.23 (fixed Eco Accel.), but I wish v.22 had infinite tune to provide power above the set levels when called upon. In addition, motor response with v.22 is somewhat too reactive and does not allow progressive motor power with rider input (it more or less jumps to the set level). This can make it a bit tricky at times to use the higher power when slowly negotiating technical terrain.
Just set up the bike with BLEvo using iOS.
After some short test rides on tarmac I set BLEvo to CM3 with Assist Levels 25/50/75 and Acceleration at Power. Motor power progressed nicely with rider input allowing more control in techy sections than Mission Control. Like Infinite Tune motor power continued above the set levels with more rider effort, so it wasn’t necessary to change assist level if you’re willing to work. In this regard it feels and behaves more like a regular non-assist bike (but easier and faster, of course!). I never really needed Turbo mode even on grades up to 20%, though I did use it for some easy spin climbing and occasionally to blast over a roller or out of a corner. Battery usage was about the same or a few percent less than with Mission Control. Next time out I’m going to increase CM to 4% and reduce Acceleration to Std to see if this gives a bit more control while still remaining responsive enough.
So for those who haven’t tried BLEvo I strongly recommend giving it a shot. It’s the best (yet least expensive) upgrade I’ve made to the bike!.
Grazie Mille, Paolo!!!
