Pardon my ignorance, what's a false flat, it doesn't compute in my head...undulating and not steep I get, but never heard the term false flat? Maybe a UK English Vs North American term..is it those slight inclines that look like flat?
Be when you think you are going down but you are actually going up so have to pedal. We have a place thats called the electric brae up North of Scotland its an opposite example you think you are going up but stop peddling and you freewheel down. Optical illusion . Best I can offer.
Ahhh, I've seen that road, when stopped cars roll backwards.
I have a comp alloy.
It's before you have a massive heart attack, and do at least a bit of workout (slowly).what's eco ?
I think there are a couple never seen it myself.
Nice picture!!
WHAT are you guys smoking???
.
. This was our opportunity to share and secretly smoke our only joint. .I laughed last year when I went through immigration at Vancouver and the officer said have you got any Cannibus . Obviously legal now.WHAT are you guys smoking???
I’m usually in EMTB mode…and going forwards.

Another boring story
Magnetic Hill in Moncton N.B. There’s been several of these locations across Canada (it’s a big country) but none better, or more preserved, than this one.
My mother loaded me, and 5 of my friends, into our 68’ Plymouth Custom Suburban station wagon and drove from Amherst NS to a KISS concert in Moncton NB. Since we were a bit early for the concert she decided to detour to Magnetic Hill. A small tourist attraction with a souvenir shop and ice cream store. “Sure…whatever” we said.
When we arrived, and the station wagon was parked, my mother walked straight for the souvenir shop. Perfect
After my mother’s shopping visit we all loaded back into the station wagon …albeit much happier with some giggling. With a brief explanation she decided to drive up Magnetic Hill. The short ride up the gravel road was uneventful as we reached the top. Then this happened
She put the car in neutral and we began to roll backwards …up the friggen hill!!! The inhaled hallucinations had enhanced this very strange experience for us and some of us began to freak-out.
Anyways, my mother dropped us off at the KISS concert and probably waited outside. I don’t remember much of the concert …but that day I saw water flowing uphill.
I like running higher settings too but at 3 setting I can actually pedal the bike faster then 32km/h, any higher and there's too much motor resistance pulling the speed back down to 32km so annoying.
Eco only sucks if your motor is not tuned for you. On my Kenevo with original settings I hardly used Eco as it just felt like pedaling a heavy normal bike. Trail wasn’t much use (I live in the Alps) so I used Turbo most of the time. I increased eco to 30% which is fine on the flat or slight hills, trail from 50 to 60% and use this 80% of the time, leaving Turbo for really steep hills, keeping up with others using Turbo or just in a hurry. It seems pointless to have an ebike and not to exploit the motor and what’s the point in having three support modes and not using all of them from time to time.
I'll admit to tuning my Eco down. That is so I'm not going too much faster than my mates on mtbs if I happen to ge riding with them when I'm on the e.
I don't ride with analogue bikes in case my levo breaks down , imagine the smug comments
Same set up here too. 2 Profiles on the EP8, P1 stock, P2 power and hardly any difference in range, at least in a boosted Eco in P2.
If you put the same amount watts of your own power it doesn't matter what mode your in. It just means you go faster. The question is are going to put the same amount of effort in. Personally I pedal downhill often that's why I have a ten tooth. Eco doesn't = fit and Turbo doesn't = lazy. That being said it's much harder to keep the effort up in turbo.
Probably pished when I posted that one was it a Saturday. I like to get a wee nibble but you've taken the sinker as well haha
