Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe - Trying to understand range and altitude possibilities

[jabar1975]

I did Furcletta/Welschtobel/Ramozhütte in Lenzerheide area in Swiss Alps. Almost 38km and 890m of ascent, 35% of battery consumed (but had to push bike a lot )
I modified settings 1 is only 50W/49%, 2 is 100W/100% and 3 is all setting max.

Update - 10,5km (6,5mile) 978m (3200ft) , 1h36m - all in Eco (50/49%) 35% of battery used. To me it is more than enough, during real hard work bike is able to assist for more than 2500m (8000ft).

I'm very keen on the EXE but the additional battery is eye wateringly exexpensive. More important to me is TQ longevity and battery life? Any issues?

Don't think so- I haven't seen any degradation in my range. Had the bike since Oct '22 and got the second battery last spring. I just recently got 3800' out of one battery in mixed modes, which was nearly a PR. I frequently run my batteries down to ~%5 and swap batteries every dozen rides or so.

As a new EXE owner, thanks for all the great input on here. Particularly those of you with 2 360wh batteries so I can gauge usage and range.

Also great to see everyones motor tuning setups, gives me something to think about moving forward.

Finally did my first decent ride on my exe this morning. It takes a LOT more effort than my rail. Did the whole climb in mid power. My motor settings are.

Eco (108w and 85% assist)
Mid (200w and 100% assist)
High (300w and 156% assist)

Did 28.8km with 660m of elevation. Got home with 25% battery left. 70/30 mix off road and roads to the trailhead and home.

Strava HR data added from my Apple Watch. No wonder I’m so tired haha

@JP-NZ 158 average HR is pretty savage!

Yea it’s the hardest I’ve worked on a bike since before I had ebikes.

Average HR for similar trail on my Rail is 135bpm.

Lent a friend without an ebike my Rail and I took my EXe, charged to 98% we did

28km with 700m climbing
Average HR = 153
Average speed 14kph
1,637 Calories
The EXe finished on 11%

For interest sake Rail was charged to 100% and came home with 54% battery. He rode faster than me, especially on the uphills
