Assistance:
Adjusting the level of assistance involves modifying the assistance ratio of the drive unit. Increasing the assistance amplifies the assistance ratio, lessening the rider's pedal effort and making the ride easier. Conversely, reducing the assistance decreases the assistance ratio, increasing the rider's pedal effort and enhancing the rider's sense of participation in the ride.
2. Assistance Range:
The assistance range refers to the range of the assistance ratio of the drive unit. The minimum value of the assistance range represents the assistance ratio for riding on flat surfaces, while the maximum value represents the assistance ratio for riding on steep slopes. Within the rider's set assistance range, the assistance ratio dynamically adjusts based on the road gradient and resistance. If the rider sets the minimum and maximum values to the same number, the output of the assistance becomes independent of the road gradient and resistance, and the assistance will always be maintained at the set value by the rider.
3. Max. Torque in Auto and Trail modes:
The maximum torque represents the upper limit of the acceleration torque and also determines the upper limit of the bike's acceleration. Lowering the maximum torque slows down the bike's acceleration, while increasing it speeds up the acceleration. In this scenario, if one aims to achieve the same level of acceleration as with higher torque, additional effort from the rider is necessary.
4. Max. Torque in Eco and Turbo modes:
The maximum torque represents the maximum assistance value of the drive unit. Increasing the maximum torque can lead to faster acceleration under similar road conditions and easier uphill riding. However, on surfaces with low traction, such as icy roads, the rear wheel is more prone to slipping. Conversely, reducing it makes acceleration and uphill riding more strenuous, but the bike is less prone to slipping on such surfaces.
5. Max. Power:
Max. Power indicates the maximum instantaneous mechanical power of the Avinox drive unit. A higher setting delivers more assistance at high cadences, which eases pedaling but increases battery consumption and shortens the range. Conversely, a lower setting conserves battery and extends the range, though it requires more effort from the rider.
6. Max. Acceleration Level in Auto mode:
A lower Max. Acceleration Level results in a more gradual speed increase. Riders can achieve faster acceleration by pedaling harder or increasing the value of Max. Acceleration Level.
7. Assisted Start:
The Assisted Start determines the rate at which assistance increases from a pedal stop to pedal resumption. Boosting the Assisted Start facilitates easier incline starts and pedaling resumption after a stop on inclines. However, excessive Assisted Start can lead to instances of slipping and wheel lift during incline starts. Riders should prudently adjust this setting based on their abilities and road conditions. Reducing the Assisted Start diminishes acceleration during starts on flat ground.
8. Continued Assist:
The Continued Assist determines the sensitivity of the assist response to the rider's pedaling force. Increasing the Continued Assist enhances the responsiveness of the assist, leading to a quicker increase when the rider applies more force and a faster decrease when less force is applied. Conversely, decreasing the Continued Assist reduces the sensitivity of the assist, resulting in a slower increase when more pedal force is applied and a slower decrease when less force is applied.
9. Motor Overrun:
Motor Overrun indicates the ongoing assistance provided for a duration after pedaling has ceased, gradually diminishing based on the assistance level at the point of stopping. Increasing the Motor Overrun prolongs this continued assistance. Motor Overrun is not continuously active. By assessing the bike's speed at the moment of pedal stopping, if significant acceleration is detected after ceasing pedaling, the overrun assistance will be proactively disengaged to ensure safety. When riders need to navigate significant obstacles such as tree roots, we recommend initially applying a strong pedal stroke before stopping to enhance the intensity of the overrun assistance, thereby aiding the rider in overcoming the obstacle more effectively. - Can I update the Avinox Ride app myself?Yes, you can download the Avinox Ride app and pair it with your bike. When a new version is available, the app will send an update prompt. Simply follow the instructions to update.
