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...
Pardon my interloping: already committed to the Domane+ SLR 6 road bike. Just figuring out how the get the most from my medicated 100W of input out of the TQ motor. Not the likeliest forum, but Knut's review was more probing than most.
Thanks. Will let it rest there.
True. Will do some testing, when I have the bike. I was asking Knut because he assessed the tuning parameters more deeply than other reviewers.
I'm trying to understand how TQ's algorithm operates, which is not all that well defined beyond aiming at a 'natural' feel. By comparison Fazua...
Thank you.
The motor seems set up to respond in proportion to rider input: stronger rider effort gets more assist, reaching maximum assist at high wattage. Correct?
I don't get anything near the higher assist wattages due to my low input. My condition would be better served if the motor...
PS. Would setting Eco, Mid and High all to 300W/200% make them all respond the same and make switching between them pointless, or does the TQ algorithm impose some differentiation?
Road interloper looking for help.
Glad to have bumped into Knut 7's review of the TQ HPR50, especially his coverage of tuning options and their effect on assist power. I hope he can help me better understand how the assist level might translate to a road e-bike, so that I can adapt...
