I finally have my tour easy set up with my f7.9 system! It is AMAZING!!
I have gotten so much help from this forum and especially from Harry, who has walked this non-techy girl thru so much. THANK YOU!
I know I could ask these questions directly to Harry and he would gladly help me, but if I put them here, maybe they will help someone else like me.
I only have a few rides under my belt so far.
My 1st ride to try all the hills around home that I normally avoid was 27 miles, I averaged 16.5 and my battery was at 47V when I finished. Yesterday I did a much hillier ride of 42 miles and took opportunities to regenerate often and finished the ride with the battery at 64V, it was on a path, so a slower ride.
I now want to fine tune the system to me. It is so amazing that you can do that! I have a friend with a BionX and she does not have that ability.
First, what I want from the system.
Since I switched to a recumbent, I miss being able to do group rides. I don’t care about speed, but would like to have enough to stay with groups in the 12-15 mph range. I do ok on flat rides, but those are few and far between in my part of Georgia. I also am very interested in having power available in the 70 mile range, distance is important to me.
Me, my bike and all the stuff I carry regularity weigh about 225.
I have set my assist levels starting at 1 with 4, 8, 14, 20, 24, 26. So far I have only used level 4 once, mostly I use 1 & 2,with 3 for steeper short climbs. This has given me a natural ride feel, with close power for hills
Here are the areas I struggle to understand.
Turn on Speed (10), Turn on Delay (30) & Turn off Delay (05).
I would like the motor to kick in quickly, but also not stay on a long time after I have gotten to speed, thinking this will help conserve battery.
I did the calibration test to start me off and have my dropout offset at 12 per the test.
I have the torque multiplier at 12, and that seems good.
What does the Base Torque number represent and how/why would you change it from the preset 03?
What does the Torque Sensor Turn ON do and how/why would you change it from the preset 05?
Thank you all for your help and advice!
