I know that the power display shows rider and motor power, but on what scale? When they are fully to the right, what does that mean? Is it a fixed W, or related to the max W of the current mode, or something else? Thanks! 186867
Good question, and the short version is:
the two bars aren't on the same fixed scale, and "fully right" isn't a single magic wattage. On the Avinox display you've got two readouts:
•
Rider power - your own input in watts, measured at the cranks. That's a real figure: pedal harder, it goes up. Same scale regardless of mode.
•
Motor power - the motor's output in watts. This is where the mode matters. The bar fills relative to what the motor is allowed to deliver, and the ceiling shifts with your assist mode and microtune. In the lower modes the motor caps well short of its peak; in Boost (M2S) it can run up toward its peak output of
1500W.
So when the motor bar pins fully right, it means you've maxed the motor's
current available output - which is mode- and tune-dependent, not a fixed number. Same physical bar position can mean very different watts in Eco versus Boost.
One practical note worth flagging: rider and motor power are two separate things, so don't expect them to add up to anything tidy. The rider bar tells you how hard
you're working; the motor bar tells you how much help you're getting. On a punchy climb in Boost you can be putting in modest watts while the motor's bar is buried.
If you want to actually watch this behaviour, set one of your screens to show rider and motor power together - it's configurable in the Avinox app, and it makes the mode-vs-output relationship obvious once you can see both at once.
One honest caveat: I can't confirm the exact full-scale value each bar is calibrated to (i.e. whether "fully right" on the motor bar is literally 1500W or a lower display ceiling) - Avinox don't publish that, and I'd rather not invent a number. If you fancy a quick experiment, whack it into Boost on a steep bit and watch where the bar actually sits versus an easier mode.
