Looks like emtb is my most used mode followed by auto mode.

I don't have the stats like you do, but on my Shimano EP8 it is Trail probably at least 80% of the time, 1-2% Boost, the rest Eco.
 
Well now that all depends on the type of ride ..25-30 mile social all dayers with 3000ft + of climbing mainly Tour..with occaisional EMTB...for bastard big hills then eco on the last few miles when I realise I've mis-judged things ...
Fun evening rides.. 15 milers with less than 2000ft climbing EMTB all the way ..( Bosch )
 
Probably 50-50 trail and boost. Very rarely in eco, only if I'm with people on analogue bikes.

I've paid for an Emtb, I'm going to damn well use it!
 
Eco usually only when riding with friends on analogue bikes.

Mostly use tour upping to turbo for a bit when when I need a 'break'.

Have been trying to get used to emtb mode recently but I struggle with the unpredictability of it. Maybe I'll get used to it one day!
 
Nothing registered for turbo, as when I used it I didn’t like it. Way too much assistance and too full on, I like the variable assistance from eMTB when things get too tough. 😁

I’d guess 80-90% in EMTB mode and the rest in Turbo for the really steep but not loose stuff.
I don’t get any pleasure out of tour or eco modes. I’ve only ever used them on the flat if I thought I was pushing it on range.
 
Almost exclusively EMTB ( turned up to 3 in the Flow App). Very rarely use/need turbo even on the steepest climbs. Some Tour+ but only on tarmac and I avoid that like the plague!!
I have the 750w/h battery and before I turned up EMTB I reckoned a reliable range using a mix of EMTB and Turbo (albeit never put to the final test) was a bout 45 miles. Just using EMTB turned up to 3 I guess the range is now about 35miles. The longest rides I do on a regular basis are c 25miles but in the forest c 15 miles is more usual so battery range is more than enough...............I only charge to 100% occasionally..........mostly I charge to 85% before a ride.
 
Since tour + and emtb mode became customisable , I tend to use tour+ a lot more than I used to.

‘23 Fuel EXe.

Eco Mode: 50% of the time.

Mid: 35%

High: 15%

P.S. Adjusted the stock settings to turn Eco down and max out High mode.
 
Not done many miles on my current bike yet but I'm off to a good start. ECO tuned to +5 has kept me out of Tour mode but it's not been on any big steep rides yet so that will definitely change soon 🤣

Ep8 in Boost predominantly after coming from a Yamaha which had more bottom end torque at lower power levels.
 
…and then I start off my ride and forget to turn on the power, turn back to the garage, figure out the problem, notice I left my water bottle sitting on the bench, start my ride again in eMTB mode.

It’s happened a few times …ok, more than a few times.
 
Bosch Gen 2
I used to try to ride everywhere in Eco
Now I use EMTB unless I need Turbo 😂
 
Bosch CX Gen4, non smart. Mainly trail use.
62% Off
25% Eco
9% Tour
3% eMTB
1% Turbo
 
And...you have an emtb why???
Why not? I still use the motor for almost 40% of the time.

But more seriously: On a trail half of the distance I go downhill without any need for support. If it’s more than a couple of meters I normally switch to Off when going downhill. That makes for the first 40% to 50% in Off.

Then I mostly ride together with my wife, who until recently had an analog bike and that adds the missing percentage in Off. I don’t need support to keep up with her while riding on flat terrain. She has now bought a minimal assist emtb (Scott Lumen eRide) with the new TQ 50 motor and this might change my mode usage over time.

Finally it is the challenge of using one’s own power as long as possible.

The original reason to buy an emtb instead of an analog bike was recovery after severe illness. There was a time I couldn’t keep up with my wife on her analog enduro.
 
never understood why folk switch off going downhill..........if you are not pedalling you are using no juice, and if a downhill has some uphill sections leaving the motor on means its ready to assist as required. Offroad I am in EMTB and rarely touch the mode control all ride, leaving me to just concentrate on the trail instead of playing with buttons:LOL:
