Not true, I often change up a gear to get more torque from my bike, seems counterintuitive, and down to the way the system is programmed. ETA. Dipping back into the peak torque rpm, where I'd prefer to be spinning a little bit more.

Just ride it like you would a normal bike :rolleyes: surely you know how to do that, if not ride one for a short while.

Whilst I might have better fitness compared to some, I live with a chronic illness that limits my power output, I don't ride an e-bike by choice, it's a necessity. ------------------------------------------------------------- As to the OP, I agree with Rob that his posts don't make sense...

Cheat :p

50 miles, 12.5 miles per segment so 12.5 miles left, roughly. Use Turbo :rolleyes: if you want to go up hills faster :mad: oh and yes of course the meter doesn't go all the way up given it's on half power ;)

Oh well either the first post has been editied or I need to buy some glasses, or you are adding one plus one and coming up with four. .. Trex?

Really you got all that from the first post o_O

oh I hadn't realised the OP had been to the woosh fitness assessment lab to have his fitness assessed :rolleyes:

NO. I've seen you (Trex?) mention how good a woosh is on a throttle up hills, last week I had the chance to try it on a woosh CD bike, and it was pathetic on a hill that wasn't even that steep. Now a throttle on a motorbike would work.

I think you mean one dimensional and fixed, unresponsive, dreary, boring, frustrating, lacking engagement, I could go on but you get the idea.

You're wrong in your assumptions, those Strava stats are estimated overall rider power, Strava isn't used to seeing those sorts of speeds from a bike and rider that weigh so much, so it's only a guestimate. I'm not even sure I had my weight set correctly either. This one could be more...

My Bosch Classic goes up hills like this

I'm genuinely shocked by the lack of understanding in this post. Who are you?

Oh. I bet you're too late for the fat bike fad. and is it actually any better than your older CD versions?

I'm not convinced by what you're saying. It's programmed to respond in a certain way based on cadence and pressure, so learning to get the best from it is about watching that power scale and giving it what it wants for the best results power wise.

hmm, a plain black one dating back around 3 years I think.

I got to have another go on a Woosh CD last week, what a truly awful experience it was in comparison to my Bosch Classic KTM, I was very glad to get back on my bike I can tell you.

Correction 22.58 km/h. No dongle required to beat that time, fairly sure on the right day I could beat that on my Bosch Classic. http://www.climbing-records.com/2013/07/all-time-top-100-fastest-rides-on.html

Indeed, mine likes a lower cadence than I prefer to give the most power.

I have an older Macina cross with hub gears which is still going well with almost 10,000 miles on the clock. I swapped the original tyres when the back one wore out, it goes better with skinnier tyres. I may have bought that one today had I seen it before you.
