Power draw over cutoff (1 Viewer)

[donaltrum]

Hello,

Silly question perhaps but been on my mind...

On a Bosch CX motor when pedeling above the cutoff (roughly 15.5mph) am I right in thinking that the power drawn in Turbo mode is the same as when in Eco mode (ie zero)?

I other words, it does not matter what mode you are in above 15.5(ish)mph because there will be no power assist in any modes and therefore no drain on the battery?

Thanks in advance,

Don't know the answer, but if you can pedal above 15.5 mph with a heavy e-bike, you are fitter than me..

but if you can, why have an e-bike in first place ? I had a Kalkhoff but sold it due to weight and inconvenience and bought a nice road bike,

I can average +14mph on a 40 mile trip..

If you pedal above the assist mode then the power drawn from the battery will be zero and the battery range will be extended.
On our bikes the watts being drawn from the battery is shown in real time and decreases the more you pedal, irrespective of the power setting you have selected.
