Absolutely perfect weather day to Paradise after the clouds burned off. Finally jersey and bike short weather. Skip joined me but did not want to do a long ride and climb so we meet inside the park. Still playing with the motor assist on the bike. Via the phone app of Ebikemotion, I am able to adjust the assit mode for all three modes. Set them for 50%, 60% and 100% for level 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Skip has the same bike and has not adjusted the assist so this was an opportunity to compare battery status after biking to Paradise. Same use of assist from Longmire to Paradise i.e. level 1 for first 10 miles and level 2 for the last. Otherwise no assist. I had biked this a week ago so I could compare battery avaialble now that i had changed the assist level.
Interesting results. At Paradise, I still had 72% battery and Skip had under 50%. Last week at Paradise, I had 50% so adjusting the assist level made a big difference in battery life. And even with less assist, my average speed remains the same. All good news.
