Hi all...
I found this forum while trying to talk myself into an ebike, the info here helped (so thanks)...I have a nerve issue in my back that made riding FREAKING MISERABLE after 15 or 20 miles, depending on the hills and I spent I don’t know how much time and money trying to fit my traditional bike so that I could ride comfortably (as well as treat my back)...to no avail. I finally gave up and bought an Orbea Gain M201i. My quick review is that it rocks. It does just what I want it to...I rarely ride it off the “level 1” assist, which is just enough to take the edge off my back. I still work at it, it isn’t a gimme, but I don’t hate life after 30 miles like before. Everyone wins!
So my issue is with the app, which I don’t get. Keep in mind, I barely understand Spotify, so speak slowly and clearly. I have it downloaded, and it has been working correctly (I guess), it pairs with my bike each time I turn the bike on (but unpairs if the bike is off). However, on a large ride this weekend I found that the bike kept moving me from “assisted” to off...(the bike would turn itself to level 0). The app was on, and the bike had plenty of battery. If I clicked it back on, it would hold it’s level of assist for a while, then pop back to 0. I feel like it is possible that the app was losing it’s connection and unpairing? Is that possible?
Second, somewhere I saw an “enable auto assist” button...which was clicked (by default) on. I now can’t find it (sitting here looking at the app while on my couch, with the app unpaired). EIther that button has disappeared or I can’t find it again, but I never knew what that did in the first place.
Anyone? Thanks for any insight from this un-tech savvy person.
