I appreciate very much how our Specialized e-bikes allow us adjust to different ride types: One day a slow senior fellow, and strong and fast young people on another...
I have no idea what the drivetrain gearing ratio/cadence has in common with the torque motor sensor. Are you only working with fixies, Uma?I have no idea how many mid-drive torque sensor motors you come into contact with and work on weekly, 3, 5, 12? But regardless of the number per week, why don’t you take one apart to see how it works? Then use your soldering iron to gently remove all the delimiting bits from the mother board. After that you can reprogram the firmware to optimize the system for your needs so you have adequate power and do not ever need to hunt for a gear. That is what the Right to Repair is all about. Empowering Stefan because he OWNS his bike. I am glad you like the current gearing.

How much do they cost ?I ordered a couple of extra 12 speed Shimano chains to have on hand for maintenance.
I went with the CN-9100 with 126 links at 57 USD ea online. The bike comes with CN-7100 (mid 30's USD) and I assumed the XTR might be more durable. The 12 speed 126 link chains were a little harder to find at the time but not as hard as it is right now. I'm still on my original chain since I ride the ebike about 1/4 to 1/3 of the time.How much do they cost ?
Thanks! I couldn’t find CN-M9100 with 126 links, but they have 138. ¥6000 ($54) tax & shipping included. However I could also find the original SLX CN-M7100 126L for ¥2600 ($23.75) tax + shipping included on Yahoo Shopping so I’m going for a couple of those. At that price it’s probably stupid to pay ¥3000 for the imported chain lubes being talked about in the chain maintenance thread. I noticed they come with quick links too. Now I’m thinking to just periodically swap the chain out for cleaning and lubrication, keeping 3 in a rolling inventory. I don’t have a good place to use a chain cleaner device on the bike.I went with the CN-9100 with 126 links at 57 USD ea online.
