Technical Guide to Real-World Use of the Avinox M1/M2 System
1. Key Principle (what actually matters)
90% of users don’t exploit the motor properly because of this:
Power ≠ torque → Power = torque × cadence
This is not marketing, it’s the physical limitation of the system:
At 50 rpm → you won’t exceed ~500–600 W
At 90 rpm → you can approach 1000 W
Critical conclusion:
The Avinox is not “1000 W all the time”
It is “1000 W only if your pedaling allows it”
This completely changes how it should be configured.
2. Variables that define YOUR setup (not the manufacturer’s)
Total weight (rider + bike)
Real cadence (not ideal cadence)
Sustained rider power (W)
These three variables determine everything.
3. Correct configuration logic
3.1 Real adjustment order (key)
Target power (W/kg)
Maximum power (W)
Maximum torque (Nm)
Assist level
This order is usually reversed (common mistake).
3.2 Golden rule (very important)
W limits consumption
Nm defines response
Assist defines how much the bike helps relative to you
4. How to exploit the Avinox M1/M2 (real strategy)
4.1 Use W/kg, not absolute W
Reference:
Eco → 1–1.5 W/kg
Auto → 2–3 W/kg
Trail → 4.5–6 W/kg
Turbo → 6–8 W/kg
Technical interpretation:
<2 W/kg → efficiency / range
3–5 W/kg → real-world usage (trail)
6 W/kg → exponential consumption
4.2 Torque (Nm) adjustment → motor feel
This is where Avinox stands out vs Bosch/Shimano.
Low Nm → progressive, natural feel
High Nm → aggressive, motorcycle-like
Practical rule:
XC / efficiency → 20–40 Nm
Technical trail → 40–80 Nm
Enduro / full Avinox → 80–120 Nm
4.3 Assist Level (where people get it wrong)
This is not power, it’s a multiplier of your effort.
Real example:
Assist 3 → ~80%
Assist 6 → ~150%
Assist 9 → ~300%
Assist 11 → ~450%
Critical interpretation:
Strong rider → lower Assist
Weaker rider → higher Assist
Otherwise → artificial or inefficient feeling
5. Optimal real-world configuration (universal baseline)
Balanced setup (recommended all-round):
ECO
Assist: 2–3
W: 120–180
Nm: 15–25
→ Maximum range
AUTO
Assist: 4–6
W: 250–350
Nm: 35–50
→ Main riding mode
TRAIL
Assist: 6–9
W: 500–700
Nm: 70–90
→ Technical climbs / fast flow
TURBO
Assist: 10–12
W: 850–1000
Nm: 120
→ Occasional use, not continuous
6. Where you actually gain performance (not obvious)
6.1 Cadence
If you ride at:
60 rpm → you’re wasting the motor
80–95 rpm → you’re fully exploiting it
This matters more than any setting.
6.2 Limiting power (W) = battery control
Key point:
The W limit is the only parameter that truly controls consumption
Much more effective than lowering Assist.
6.3 Micro Adjust (underused)
Allows on-the-fly Assist tuning.
Real use:
Eco → modulate human effort
Turbo → compensate fatigue
It’s basically a “manual PID control”.
7. Common mistakes (important)
Tuning by feel → wrong
Riding always in Turbo → useless
Low cadence + high Nm → very poor efficiency
Not differentiating modes → redundancy (Auto vs Trail)
8. Critical reading of the Avinox M1/M2
Real advantages:
High torque → better technical traction
Configuration flexibility → superior to Bosch
Real peak power (if you pedal properly)
Real limitations:
Strong dependence on cadence (critical)
Likely thermal derating above ~800 W sustained (not documented, but consistent)
High consumption if poorly configured
9. Operational conclusion
If you want to get the most out of it:
Set by W/kg (not by feel)
Increase cadence (80–95 rpm)
Limit W for normal riding
Use Turbo only as a real boost
Use Micro Adjust
