Update after a successful cycle earlier! Instead of constantly switching assistance off I kept it on Eco. Most of the time once I got going after stopping at junctions etc then I got up past the 15.5mph so it just cut out anyway. Range was then up in the 50s which was brilliant to see. Last 5 miles was uphill and in to a wind so I used Tour mode to help get me home. Battery at start of journey was showing 4/5 after my weekend cycle and hadn't recharged from. About a mile from home today it dropped down to be 3/5 so could easily have some more cycling journeys out of it before another charge. All feels better now, loving the bike and maybe just starting to understand it better etc.

Thanks all for getting back to me, everything you say is what I had heard/read before buying it. Maybe I should just shut up, get in some cycling & then see how it plays out. I was just worried re the displayed estimated Range left on the bike but it sounds like it maybe isn't overly accurate. I will get some rides in & get a better feel for it. Aiming for a cycle tomorrow morning & it is 9 degrees, almost tropical compared to my last ride!!

I'm kind of hoping the battery light indicators (ie a rough % of battery usage) may almost be a better indication than the guesstimated Range until I get more miles & rides in.

Appreciate your reply, thanks for getting back. I am not exactly overly fit but used to cycling, used to do 20-25 miles ok on a normal hybrid (non e-bike) bike so comfortable cycling etc. On Crossfuse I am using the gears & going in to lower gears in Eco mode rather than in a higher gear in Tour/Sport mode so was expecting way higher range than mid 30s in Eco mode on non hilly routes eg last 21 mile cycle was 800 feet elevation, mainly towards the last few miles. My display range starting off as 36 worries me as I was expecting it to be much higher & I could understand it reducing when I was making less effort and/or using greater assistance. When you are using your bike, getting '52 miles range' as an example, does this include when you are pedalling greater than 15mph & motor stops assisting? And what does your display Range show as left when you are going? (Sorry for all the Qs but I can't find decent real info online so invaluable to speak to another owner - and I haven't used the bike very much so need to use it more).

Thanks for the reply... "The Crossfuse features a 400Wh Bosch Powerpack with an average 30-35 miles (max 80 miles) of ride time." All is relatively good, more just a worry (without using it much & going very far!) that the remaining range displayed is nowhere near what it should be. Online people regularly say they get well over 60 in Eco mode. Maybe I am worrying about nothing & was hoping another owner could clarify how it is for them.

Recently bought a Crossfuse & due to the snow/icy weather finally got round to getting out on it, had 2 rides of approx 20 mile rides on it. Amazing is the initial reaction. Phenomonal in fact. I do need to get out & use it more often, loved the fact it was easy enough to ride on flat/downhill with zero assistance required and cycling at 15-20mph for free, so really only used the battery for about 5 miles of the cycle (in Eco/Tour mode only) up the hills and near the end of my trip when tired. My query, and I know it is very early and I haven't used it very much , is re the display range. When I switched it on fully charged, in Eco mode it said the range was 34 miles, way short of the amazing ranges I see others claiming. Is this what others get, will it adapt/change/learn over time if i use it more or is there potentially an issue with display/battery? I know I need to get out, stick it in Eco mode & keep cycling to see what happens with the display reducing & the light indicators on the battery too but thought I would see if any reassuring advice here from more experienced people. Any feedback appreciated.
