Steps in that order..

I use an Android phone but it must be the same. 1) I turn on the system on the E Bike 2) I logged in the Mahle app 3-I link the Ebike with the Mahle app by pressing the upper red circle 4) Once linked (the circle is now green), I process to run the app by pressing the lower circle. 5) Once the...

I just pickup data about assistance level, power used, charge remainding and so. Nothing about my performance during the tour, for that I use my Garmin and Garmin Connect.

I only use that app for collecting data during the tour. I activate the app at the time of departure, activate the recording of data, put it in my back bag and forget about it during the tour. At the end of the ride I just save the data. Throughout the tour, I use my Garmin.

The purpose of all this elaboration of ideas is to conclude in a methodology that allows us to personalize our levels of assistance in the E bike, in this way we will be optimizing the use of the finite energy available in the battery. For this development, we are using a stock Orbea Gain D50...

Thanks ngg and Stefan for your comments. In fact I am thinking about developing a new chapter on how to optimize the mass parameter on an E bike once I finish developing this proposal on how to customize assistance levels in an optimal and structured way. By the way ngg, I really like those...

A little more about the mass (kg): When we refer to mass in the W/Kg ratio, that mass refers only to the mass of the cyclist even though the mass of the bicycle affects the performance of the cyclist. Let us remember that all these studies, definitions and rules come from the world of...

We're going to take a few steps forward and then we can go back to the inputs we've received. We have fixed some ideas: 1) An E-bike provides some assistance capability, which must be optimally managed to achieve the longest and most challenging rides possible. But unlike an electric bike, on an...

Hi Stefan. Thanks a lot for your inputs. To have a clear understanding of your examples, I would like to know how did you arrive to 73W FTP. Did you performe a test or it is based on huge data registered of your rides. Are you sure of that number? Is your mass 91 Kg. The weighted avg power in...

Hi Stefan, as you can see in 1,2,3, the cyclist's mass is part of the equation corresponding to each affectation: whether in acceleration, ascent or rolling resistance. Hence, Dr Coggan's studies were based on a huge collection of data from different types of cyclists to try to conclude on what...

Since we already know what our capacity to deliver power to the pedals is , and even better, what is our capacity to sustain that power for 1 hour (FTP), we will see that this capacity, at the end, will serve to move a mass (my body + the bicycle) which is fundamentally affected by the force of...

How to customize power assistance levels. There must be many ways to accomplish this task. In what follows I allow myself to share my thoughts and procedures for it, which have given me good results and have allowed me to properly manage the available energy to make longer and more challenging...

As I mentioned at the beginning, I bought this bicycle with the purpose of testing and learning a little more about the benefits and advantages of having a certain level of power assistance in the practice of cycling. Especially for people who have reached a certain age and who want to continue...

SteavenC56 I recommend that you install the My Smartbike app on your cell phone, with it you can record a huge amount of data during your ride, and later you can draw your own conclusions (attached my ride today). After enough runs you will be able to conclude on what your optimal settings for...

Thanks SteavenC56 for sharing your settings. That means your assistance levels are: L1=50W, L2=131W, and L3=250W. How far are your usual routes? Do you have records of the % utilization of each level of assistance in a usual route? How much do you contribute and how much assistance?

I recently purchased an ORBEA Gain 50 for the purpose of learning and drawing conclusions about assisted road bikes. I have practiced road cycling for many years but I am already 68 years old and even though I ride about 7000 km a year, I have lost power in my legs. I normally use a full carbon...

Honestly, I don't have the auto assist facility enabled. The way I do it is that I always start and try to do all my tours without assistance, I only go to Level 1 or Level 2 if the terrain conditions and my physical condition require it (temporarily), once that demand for assistance is...

The system has 3 levels of isolation. At level 1 you can receive a maximum of 100W. At level 2 175 W maximum and at level 3 you can receive 250 W maximum. This is achieved if you have each level mapped to 100%. But in my case, after several tests in different topography, and considering my FTP...

I started using an Orbea Gain D50 bike a couple of months ago but recently downloaded the new MySmartBike app. It seems to me that it is a very useful application that provides a lot of information during and after a tour. But I find that possibly that app requires revision and correction of...
