Bosch CX assist settings - help required

Just starting to get to grips with the settings on my newly-acquired Orange Patriot - CX Gen4

There’s the usual eMTB+, Auto, Tour and Eco settings, but it looks like they are all the same - here’s eMTB+



The other three modes are all exactly the same, which I’m assuming is a bit pointless?

Also - where did the 20mph max speed come from? I’d like to keep this if at all possible, as 15.5mph is a royal PITA on my local trails on Cannock Chase

Assistance very welcome for a newbie used to the simplicity of a Shimano E8000…

Click on each of the 4 critera to adjust. The main one for your motor is "assistance" . I have no idea how you got 20mph unless you are not in the UK or Europe

20mph is the maximum power assist from the motor. I assume you’re in NA. 32kph is the maximum power assist in Canada …but I can go faster. (gravity is my friend sometimes).

They are not exactly the same. In fact, they are all quite different. The names of the different modes indicate different motor drive characteristics that are affected by speed, torque, rider input, and load on the motor. The parameters that you think are the same are just a couple parameters that you can easily control. Before you arbitrarily change any of the parameters, you might want to read the descriptions found within the app, as well as discussions that you can find online.
