    Seems there was/is an update for the display as well - via firmware. I'll connect my MTB shortly to see what (if anything) I notice from it - the release notes are pretty vague about what all is involved other than "compatibility with the TQ app update"... As to the App - I had to create an...

    TQ motor

    I just got this email from TQ: Hi Will, We have Exciting News! Today, a new update of our TQ app is being released, which will make your riding experience even better. To unlock all the features, make sure to also get the latest software update from your dealer. Here’s what to...

    TQ motor

    Prob not a safe assumption, as the display update is done through firmware while the app change is done via distro via the Android or iOS app store... 🤔 On the "data provided front" - being candid, and zero offense intended - I think "power avg over 3, 6, 10 seconds" is a very edge case that...

    TQ motor

    The lowest green line is cadence (there is a key at the bottom of the chart, but it is TINY...) I will do another comparison of power pedals output vs TQ, but the TREK app seems to no longer stay active after I start my ride. I'm guessing some "stay active in the background" permission for...

    Trek Domane+ SLR 7 uneven weight distribution?

    I was riding a "normal" Domane SLR 7 when I purchased my Domane+ SLR 7... I haven't really focused on if I think the bike feels front or rear heavy when I've been moving it around the garage; I've only noticed the ride when I'm on it. When on the bike itself, I don't notice any extra weight...

    I also noticed the dips in power that don't directly correspond to dips in TQ provided power; but, bear with me, I think that this a) is by design, and 2) makes sense... 😉😁😎 I think it's is part of how TQ smooths out the support power... so the motor support isn't surging and waning with every...

    TQ motor

    I have no idea the tech inside the motor; but I know they say they've improved the power reading since I did that ride. I did read an interview with one of the TQ engineers who said (about their MTB program) that their tech is so sophisticated that within a few pedal strokes they know the...

    Rob, Glad to help - I'm not against repeating that ride, I did it just the other day - but not sure I'll go that hard on a day that hot again... 😉😁😎 System weight would be my 185 (I've been steady +/- 1 or 2 el bees for the past few years), plus the size L Domane+ SLR that I'll put at 29 lbs...

    TQ motor

    Rob, Back when I first got my Domane+ SLR, I was curious to see how quickly I could ride a known test piece of sorts locally in Las Vegas. It is just under 3 miles, avg 4% (which is deceptive as it keeps ramping up as you get further up the climb, maxing at 8 or 9 percent) Here is the segment...

    Thanks Rob! I will do... and now that I've one of each (I just picked up a TREK Fuel EXe 8 to pair nicely with my Domane+), the MTB news is good info for me too! - Will

    TQ motor

    I don't use the integration with the TREK app for my rides either - I too keep an eye on the remaining percentage, sort of use the "time remaining" as well. I'm not trying to either max out the battery support for the fastest possible rides; nor am I trying to do a century (knocked out plenty...

    I hope that you are back on your bike soon - let us know how it goes after the parts are replaced. To change your username, it will be in the same place you set up your image/avatar. If you look in the upper right of the site, you will see your username - if you click there it will take you to...

    Antonio, Good info - I'd not seen anything about another upcoming firmware release, but I'm still trying to sort out the best locations for such information. Where did you see this? As for when to apply updates, etc - again, good thoughts... I'm in the tech industry and we sometimes don't...

    RDV, I use this page for the latest updates: https://www.tq-ebike.com/en/support/release-notes/ It doesn't have "notes" for all the updates, but does show the current versions for all the various components within the TQ system. They did "pre" announce the battery update on this page, it...

    All - it has been a minute since I've been here last, but have (so far) around 4,700 miles on my TREK Domane+ SLR 7 - I just recently (end of August) took it past my local TREK shop to get the firmware updated. That process went smoothly, but was done just a few days (3 or 4) before the new...

    Methodology proposal to establish the assistance levels in an E Bike

    Antonio, I'm wondering if there is a min power that the motor can produce... if it can only engage at 40W, it may explain some of what you're seeing here... if your % of input power is low enough, it may cut in and out... I've not looked at my data to see what I've gathered, but will dig into...

    Methodology proposal to establish the assistance levels in an E Bike

    I sort of "get" why TQ isn't too bothered to make sure that their numbers aren't full on accurate to what a calibrated power meter would generate. For their needs, they just need (for lack of a better term) and "area play"... so long as they know they're close (ish), and if the rider is...

    Methodology proposal to establish the assistance levels in an E Bike

    Some of my posts in the Domane+ thread illustrate some of the data issues I've seen w/ the power numbers coming out of the system. I've started to do a deeper dive into crunching the differences between what the TQ reports as "human power" vs what my power reading pedals report - I think most...
