Power draw over cutoff

[bikey850]

Hello,

Silly question perhaps but been on my mind...

On a Bosch CX motor when pedeling above the cutoff (roughly 15.5mph) am I right in thinking that the power drawn in Turbo mode is the same as when in Eco mode (ie zero)?

I other words, it does not matter what mode you are in above 15.5(ish)mph because there will be no power assist in any modes and therefore no drain on the battery?

Thanks in advance,

all modes use power just turbo uses the most under the 15mph limit over this speed the motor cuts off so not using any power like it was turned off.

If there is power draw above the cutoff you have a problem

You see on the KT LCD a very short draw of 3-5W or so from time to time when riding above the cutoff on my bike, I don't know where that power is going, topping up the capacitors in the controller?

Thanks! That means I don't have to feel so guilty when in eMTB mode and doing 18mph!

Thanks again,
