More power = more caution
This power boost is exhilarating, for sure. But it comes with a few precautions to keep in mind to protect your SmilingMachine ;-{D
Range: more torque also means more consumption. If you push the 100 Nm to the max, you’ll notice your range drops more quickly. To preserve your battery level, adjust the assistance levels and adapt your effort to the terrain.
Drivetrain: With increased torque, drivetrain components (chain, cassette, pulleys) are put under more strain. It’s recommended to perform regular maintenance and adopt suitable riding habits: smooth pedaling, anticipating gear changes, and using maximum assistance wisely.
These habits help preserve the lifespan of your drivetrain while making the most of your motor’s performance!
Focus on the new eMTB+ mode: a smart 400% boost
The eMTB+ mode is the cherry on top. It doesn’t just give you more power… it reacts intelligently to your pedal stroke:
Boost up to 400% of your power: every pedal stroke is amplified to help you tackle the steepest climbs with power and precision.
Extended Boost: get over roots, steps, and rocks effortlessly, even at low speed. It’s like having a magic push in technical sections.
Dynamic Control: traction is managed in real time, to prevent loss of grip on climbs or in tight corners!
The result? Ultra-smooth, natural, and incredibly effective assistance for riders who want to give it their all on MTB, without fiddling with settings ;-{D
