"Once you pop, you can't stop".
The e-bike app (like
Specialized App for your Levo) is useful to explore the inner of the e-bike (like tuning the motor for high performance or long range). It is possible to totally modify the behaviour of your e-bike, which is especially valid for the Levo as the e-bike is truly advanced. Some users use the app as an e-bike display (your Levo has no display). Some record their rides using the app.
Nothing stops you Chargeride to ride your Levo totally autonomously, no app, no connection, and you prove it with every and each Levo ride.
@wcndave tried to use the Giant app for "everything": the tuning tool, the display, the ride recorder. Unfortunately, Giant software engineers are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, so the Ride app is obviously flawed. Hence, I and
@DaveMatthews have suggested to
@wcndave getting a Garmin and solving the issue once and for good: e-bike monitoring, e-bike display, ride recording. Only this information is useful, not the posts on your Grand Jeep Cheerokee, for instance.
Yes, Charge, you seem to think you are as important as governments and corporations do anything to control you. Not. Your Levo or Dave's Giant are autonomous. You have chosen staying it autonomous, and thus you got rid of many advanced capabilities, for instance tuning the assistance the way your Levo could have a long range on the flat but offer a high performance on steep climbs. You even are not aware how many % of the battery are actually remaining! Your choice but do not prevent other people from being modern and efficient.
Your views remind me of a person who says "Why all these portable X-Ray stations or anesthesia at the dentist? In them olden good times it just took a blacksmith to pull the tooth and nobody was complaining".
Could we stay
on-topic please?
