35/35 just gives enough power to the motor to operate smoothly. I think the motor noise depends on the cadence. Where the motor is the...

Ah thanks Stefan, informative as always. Is 35/35 the most quiet setting? or is there a tweak here I can do?

Easy to explain! Your E/10% setting limited the motor power to 24 W. A mid-drive motor cannot "breathe" or work properly at such low a...

So I did what I said and changed it to 30/10, 60/10, 100/10. At least I think it was 10 I cannot remember, it was the lowest it would go...

...but if you pedal harder than 133 W then M=100 means you get more motor power up to 240 W?

Something to keep in mind if you routinely ride an SL at rider power Pr > 133W. Discovered this while modeling Specialized's...

Not sure I understand. At E = M = 100, you already had the full 240W of motor power at 133W of rider power (Pr). Pedaling harder will...

I meant E/M = 30/100. Pm =133 W * 0.3 * 1.8 = 71.8 W but Pr = 240 / 0.3 / 1.8 = 444 W So, with the 30/100 SL assistance, the rider has...

Exactly, but E ≠ M in that case. Let Px be the motor's peak power, and B the motor's boost. For the SL 1 and Creo 1, these are 240W and...

Jeremy, I used your own app to draw my conclusions :) You use MicroTune so E=M. I advocate using E/100, where E must be set reasonably...

Guys, I made a short 8.4 km (5 mile) test of my SL at 60/100%. The battery consumption was 6.70 Wh/km (rather high). My Main + RE1 set...

Let me comment the two posts above. The E/100 setting is appropriate for riders with relatively weak legs, especially when climbs are...

If you have MicroTune, I suggest playing around with it on a variety of rides before settling on any new mode tunings. Great way to vary...
