How to change turbo mode to be as smooth as ECO

[jsp45]

Thank you very much, that is really extremely helpful.

I understand about higher top speed and shorter acceleration time, because I used to commute down the M11 in a 1L Ford Fiesta. That was really quite unsafe feeling, because lorries used to just pull to the left even when I was in the lane that they were pulling into.

With a 1L engine, I didn't have the acceleration to get out of their way.

When I moved up to a 2L Ford Mondeo I was much safer, because if a lorry tried to pull over on top of me, I could quickly accelerate out of the way.

Thank you for explaining it in that language. That is really helpful. I will have a think about that and how it fits into the feel of my bike and the controls.

All I can recommend to you is resetting the e-bike settings to the defaults and setting off for a normal ride in your neighbourhood. Expect riding at 12-15 mph. Then you will understand how wonderful your Gazelle is

This lady, a friend and a senior person is a weakling. Still, she is capable of 50 mile rides in undulated terrain. She rides a Bosch e-bike very similar to your Gazelle. She uses TOUR on the flat, SPORT on climbs, and TURBO when she is very tired...
