I am not familiar with Fazua Ride 60, but from you description it sounds like it has different settings and how it manages assist. On my last ride I watched the power meter and most of the time I was putting in 150W, the motor contributed 0W-10% of the time, 30W-50% of the time, 60W-30% of the...

Had my BMC for a couple weeks and been playing around with motor settings. What seems to be working for my riding style and location follows. At these settings I can get +60miles of range with 3000-4000ft of climbing. Also suggest that TQ40 would be plenty for my type of riding. Curious to...

That said I also bought 1200g wheelset and 3d printed saddle...Old habits die hard..

Exactly the same for me but now that I have a 28lb E-Bike I am rethinking the weight thing. Only takes ~10W of assist to negate 5lbs for a heavier bike (TQ40 vs TQ50 with bigger battery). Dial up the assist slightly and the weight disappears, like magic.

As I am new to ebikes and there were not TQ40 choices available in US at the time I purchased a BMC Amp with the TQ50. What I have discovered so far is TQ50 is more motor than I need in terms of assist, but I am happy to have the larger 350whr battery. I have tuned the motor to max 35W assist...

Canyon says the OnFly will be available in the US by summer. I had hoped they would roll it out at Sea Otter , but if they are sold out in Europe then doubt we will see them anytime soon this side of the pond.

Any idea when the new App will be out. Logical would be when they roll out OTA updates which hopefully is soon! Total Wh for motor and rider during the ride is what I was hoping for.

Love the TQ display showing instantaneous power (W) delivered by rider and motor. Is there any way to get accumulated power (energy, Whr) over the course of a ride either from the TQ system (app or service dongle) or by using a Garmin that accumulates the instantaneous power to provide energy...

Finally got a chance to ride the BMC Road machine Amp X with TQ50 drive (thanks to all those on this forum that helped along the way). This is my first ebike and was not sure what to expect. 42 mile/2600ft elevation test ride today confirmed what many of you said. The motor is silent, the...

“OTA Bootloader Support… prerequisite for enabling future OTA update capabilities for HPR40, HPR50, and HPR60 systems.” Yes, it appears that legacy TQ motors will need a firmware update via service dongle prior to being able to receive OTA updates...

Some TQ News.... TQ Behind-the-Scenes / Sensor Architecture — Velomotion published a factory tour this week clarifying TQ's unconventional sensor approach: no torque sensor in the traditional sense. Instead, strain gauges are mounted on the BB axle bearings, with a real-time algorithm that...

I saw on another forum that OTA was scheduled for release end of April or early May so timing seems right. Suspect an App update will be coming soon to provide the functionality.

Thanks for posting. Looks amazing. Having just purchased (and unfortunately yet to ride) a Team Machine Amp with TQ50 I wonder is the lighter weight worth the significantly higher price.. Hope someday I can answer that question.

Well a couple of people have confirmed they can ride just on the range extender without main battery. Hopefully one of the brands will offer a lightweight road ebike with ability to remove the main battery without removing the motor. I would love to be able fly with my bike the way I can with...

If you do would love to hear your impression. I have a BMC Roadmachine AmpX with the TQ50. Would be fun to see how much different the TQ40 feels on essentially the same bike.
