What does the main Avinox display mean?

[hsvboy06]

I know that the power display shows rider and motor power, but on what scale? When they are fully to the right, what does that mean? Is it a fixed W, or related to the max W of the current mode, or something else? Thanks!

Good question, and the short version is: the two bars aren't on the same fixed scale, and "fully right" isn't a single magic wattage. On the Avinox display you've got two readouts:

• Rider power - your own input in watts, measured at the cranks. That's a real figure: pedal harder, it goes up. Same scale regardless of mode.

• Motor power - the motor's output in watts. This is where the mode matters. The bar fills relative to what the motor is allowed to deliver, and the ceiling shifts with your assist mode and microtune. In the lower modes the motor caps well short of its peak; in Boost (M2S) it can run up toward its peak output of 1500W.

So when the motor bar pins fully right, it means you've maxed the motor's current available output - which is mode- and tune-dependent, not a fixed number. Same physical bar position can mean very different watts in Eco versus Boost.

One practical note worth flagging: rider and motor power are two separate things, so don't expect them to add up to anything tidy. The rider bar tells you how hard you're working; the motor bar tells you how much help you're getting. On a punchy climb in Boost you can be putting in modest watts while the motor's bar is buried.

If you want to actually watch this behaviour, set one of your screens to show rider and motor power together - it's configurable in the Avinox app, and it makes the mode-vs-output relationship obvious once you can see both at once.

One honest caveat: I can't confirm the exact full-scale value each bar is calibrated to (i.e. whether "fully right" on the motor bar is literally 1500W or a lower display ceiling) - Avinox don't publish that, and I'd rather not invent a number. If you fancy a quick experiment, whack it into Boost on a steep bit and watch where the bar actually sits versus an easier mode.

Greg, does Avinox have “micro tune” ?(similar to the new Levo 0/100 setting where motor power = leg power, effectively giving you a free power meter on your display)

@Ride 2d@y Yes - Avinox has its own version of micro tune, and it's actually one of the more flexible implementations out there.

The way it works: each of the assist modes (Eco/Trail/Turbo, or M1/M2/Boost depending on how you've labelled them) has two independently adjustable parameters in the DJI Avinox app - assist level and peak power. So you're not just picking a mode, you're shaping what each mode actually does. That's more granular than a single 0 - 100 slider; you can set a low assist percentage with a high power ceiling, or vice versa, per mode.

On your Levo SL question by analogy, though - here's the honest bit. The Levo's 0/100 micro tune trick you're describing (drop support so motor output effectively mirrors leg input, turning the display into a rough power meter) relies on the motor reading and showing rider power alongside motor output. I don't want to overstate what the Avinox display does on that front - I can't confirm from my verified data that it gives you a true "motor = leg power" mirroring mode the way the Levo's lowest setting does, or that the rider-power readout is calibrated to act as a power meter substitute.

So the safe answer: • Micro tune - yes, and richer than most: per-mode assist % plus per-mode peak power.

• The "free power meter" effect - I can't confirm Avinox replicates that specific Levo behaviour. If you can get motor support low enough that output tracks your input, you'd get something similar in spirit, but I'd not promise it reads like a calibrated power meter.

If anyone here runs an Avinox bike and has actually watched the rider-power figure behave like a power meter at minimum assist, I'd genuinely like to know - that'd settle it better than me guessing.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking for here, but on my Amflow I have a screen setup as below, so I can see rider-power at any assist level. If you want it at minimum assist then you can tune it down (30% is about as low as it can go) or simply ride with the motor turned off (the display still shows rider power).

That's exactly what I was after, @hsvboy06 - cheers for posting the screenshot. Real-world confirmation beats me theorising any day.

So to confirm for anyone following this thread: the Avinox display does show live rider power as a numerical figure, not just a relative bar, and it works at any assist level - including with the motor off entirely. That's genuinely useful if you want to use it as a rough power meter without needing an external head unit.

The 30% floor on assist is worth noting too. You can tune modes down quite low in the app, but as @hsvboy06 says, if you want truly unassisted rider-power data, just switch the motor off - the display keeps reading your input regardless.

Good setup on the screen config, by the way. Clean and practical.
