Starting setup for EP8 to make it most like Bosch CX

[vman]

Been riding a Trek Rail with Bosch motor - great bike. Just added a Yeti 160 E with Shimano EP 8. Any suggested setup for the Shimano motor control to make it most like the Bosch unit I am accustomed to riding. I realize the Shimano will unlikely have the same grunt as the Bosch. Tend to run the Bosch motor mostly in eco and emtb with rare use of turbo mode.

Thanks

I don't know how to answer your question because I have never tried to do what you want. However, I can recommend this setting.

Profile 1	Eco​	Trail​	Boost​
Assistance Character	8​	8​	10​
Maximum Torque (Nm)	70​	85​	85​
Assistance Start	5​	5​	5​

Setting the assistance character to 8 instead of 10 in Trail stops the rear wheel spinning when accelerating out of corners. AS for assistance start, why would I want a delay between pressing the pedal and getting some power delivery?

I have profile 2 set up as "get me home" if ever I run short of battery, but I still want to enjoy the journey!
