VeloMotion tests and reports exceptionally detailed comparisons of motor responses to rider power input levels and the practical range of cadences. The results for some of the most prevalent motors are published in clear and accessible form, as a group and individually, at The Ultimate E-Bike...
Any further developments or insights to report on?
I had the Ammersee update done on my Domane+ by the local Trek shop and also see the (pointless, to me) speed reduction option and NA for all component firmware versions. Can't tell that any aspect of performance has been improved...
I am not asking Trek to modify the bike, I'm asking TQ to tweak the firmware, when they next update it as is typically done, to allow me and anyone in similar circumstances to better utilize the TQ HPR50 e-bikes we have, to no-one's detriment. I'll leave it at that.
I was attracted to this forum due to its specific focus on the TQ HPR50. I admitted months ago (post #36) to being an interloper in that I'm a road rider. Regretfully, due to angina, I can no longer sustain the pace nor climb the hills that I once could, limiting my regular road bike to...
If there are members of this forum who, like me, are physically/medically constrained and unable to take full advantage of the TQ HPR50 motor's output, we might be able to help to nudge TQ into taking better care of us. I've written to them a handful of times requesting improved assistance with...
Same for the Karoo 2, except that this first iteration mis-labels Eco as level 2, M as 4, and H as 7 (no level 1, 3, 5 an 6, nor above 7). The Hammerhead app reports the % spent in each and 0.
Thanks to Mitea for starting the thread, the contributors for many solid ideas, to Ramon for taking note, and Rob for hosting. A major question is whether Ramon can prevail in converting these ideas into features on our e-bikes.
As a medically constrained Domane+ rider, I heartily endorse...
