it seems to be true information, bike in the video is Merida
EDIT: I have information from a local dealer, that Merida models with Bosch will be launched on 25. october.
Garmin watches Fenix 7, Fenix 6, FR955, FR255 have direct connectivity to Shimano Steps motor. Settings -> Sensors -> Add sensor -> E-bike. The Orbea app or E8000 datafield is not required.
ECO on EP8 is unnecessarily progressive. I feel like I have Trail 1, Trail 2 and Boost modes. I go flat and long climb in ECO and engine support sometimes drops to 10-15% at 80-90 cadence, it does not matter the settings in E-tube. on E8000 was ECO better programmed.
