Interesting phenomenon post update or is it spring?

[BEC111]

Since getting the recent firmware updates, my Vado SL 4 EQ has been runnning more smoothly and is quicker, even in Eco. It’s also gotten warmer and it is spring. I’m curious on your thoughts.

Is my experience due to the updates or warmer weather improving electrical performance? Or and I in better shape after riding more than I usually would in April? Or?

Exactly. I notice the very same thing after I wax my car

Your observation is correct @BEC111 and I do not think it is related to the firmware update! Warm Spring makes riding easier because:

• We wear lightweight clothes that do not restrict our movements
• Wind chilling factor becomes a pleasure not a punishment
• The battery works better in Spring temperatures
• The bike components work at temperatures intended by the design
• We are not intimidated by snow, ice, cold wet surfaces, or the wind (have I mentioned that already?)

Suffice to say I was on two group rides last weekend during magnificent weather. I could pedal my two different e-bikes at minimum assistance, something not doable for me during the cold season at all!
