NEW BATTERY & APP TESTING

The newest Battery Firmware upgrade 2.22.3 (4.01 Motor) completely changes the character and feel of the bike.
Now at ECO (20%) rider input is multiplied by .54 - TRAIL (50%) is multiplied by 1.6 and TURBO (100%) is multiplied by 3.2.
On the good side, power delivery is much smoother and feels more like a "regular" bike if my legs were strong. The bad side is my legs aren't strong so it seems like it takes twice the effort to go half as fast at my old settings.
This would explain my high heart rates on the Chequamegon 100. I was working harder with Robb's battery. It seems I'll be getting in better shape, but it may reduce my riding years.

I'll need to do a lot of testing to see how this will affect battery range, they claim the new update increases battery efficiency and the 504Wh battery should help my range a bit.

The App appears to be not fully functional as the new firmware is supposed to let you adjust Maximum Power with each Assist level. The adjustable Acceleration Rate is gone and is now fixed on ECO.
