Massive Difference in Amflow PX range test

If you want accurate and scientific results then I totally agree with you, however my case in point is over 6 miles of forest road (smooth gravel very little elevation gain) my bike always uses around 30% of it's battery no matter what, I ran the stock tyres for 2 rides (tubeless) I quickly ditched them to heavier casings but with a lighter wheel set (overall bike weight within 400 grammes of stock, im sad I weighed it!) Maxxis Assegai up front High Roller 2.4 on rear, no difference in range at all. I put a Schwable Shredda on rear for Ard Rock and there is no noticeable difference in battery consumption. Have you experienced your bike using 6% battery in 24 hours without being switched on? That is some battery drain without use.

I get zero battery loss with the bike off. Do you have a SIM card installed? Or the security features enabled? If so, that's your likely cause. I don't want my bike to be monitored or potentially remotely controlled, so I chose not to enable any of that stuff.

As such I don't think so unless Avinox use a different terminology, their adjustable parameters are Assistance Range from 1 to 15, Max Torque 10nm to 105nm, Max Power 100w to 1000w, Motor Overrun Shortest to Longest, Assisted Start Mild to Max and Continued Assist Mild to Max.
I ride the vast majority in Trail or Eco, my Trail mode settings are Assistance 8-10, Max Torque 80NM, Max Power 500WH, Motor Overrun none, Assisted start Middle, Continued assist Middle. all other modes are also down tuned, Turbo is only set to 95NM and 850WH and I very very rarely use it. Always ride with a cadence around 90 to 100.
Assistance range is what you want to turn down to prolong battery and get maximum range.

I have been shocked by the range on my Amflow PL since purchase, I have sent a load of ride log data to Amflow, who in all fairness have responded and looked into this issue, however I am still convinced something is majorly wrong with either my battery or the system controlling it. Everyone can have their say of elevation/tyres/rider weight/cadence/weather/did you have a pre ride dump but the black and white fact for me is my bike does not do, nor is capable of doing any where near the expected range or near what others are achieving.
Bike was only ridden once in factory settings, detuned there after as I don't need the power, I ride 80% in trail at around 600w 80NM, I weigh 80kg, I have down hill tyres, I can not do more than 26 miles no matter what elevation or terrain.
I struggled to survive a 28 mile ride 100% in Eco whilst riding with Giant and Orbea bikes with 625wh and 500wh batteries, both finished with more range than me.
Amflow maintain my bike is perfect and there are no issues. I too did Ard Rock yesterday, I was the one with the Jackery at the pub topping up, put an extra 25% in and finished with 18% (this is with it set 500wh and 70nm in trail and detuned in all modes). Ok did turbo up the one grassy steep bit. The bike was fully charged Thursday AM, loaded in van, removed from van on Friday and had 94% battery, how?? 6% drop in transit in summer?
Love the bike overall but coming from a Canyon that could piss 40 miles on the same terrain this thing can't do 25 miles (Peaks, Lakes, Wales). Shop does not seem interested nor do Amflow, it uses 30% over 6 miles no matter what the elevation or terrain. Frustrating to say the least would at least like to be offered a different battery to try and see if makes any difference.
You need to find and daily back the assistance levels. Dji is loaded with high assistance as stock.
