I tested 15.1 on my daily commute, and I discovered some power related issue. I've got the 48V motor and I use 48V battery, everything default: max current 16A I set max power 850W and in assist level 2,3,4,5 when the human power goes over 350-400W the motor power limited around 500-550W and it's wont go any higher until human power reduced below around 200W, in that case the motor power can go higher like 750-850W in higher assist levels. I tried not limiting the power but the result is the same.
Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
I wish...for me this would be the right approach altogether. I personally think that we should have individually customisable max power levels per assist level, while allowing e.g. 10 second unlimited "boosts to max power" to overcome short obstacle distances.
But with the new multiplier approach, one can reach highest power levels in the lowest assist levels...it is ok, if this is what one wants, but i think there should also be the possibility to limit it in order not to waste battery without one really noticing it.
my suggestion therefore: allow to limit max power in each assist level. so if the allowed boost phase of 10 seconds is reached, power will gradually go down to the set limit, and the rider will be forced to either go up a notch to the level that has higher max power settings or to shift down. this way you stay in control of power consumption without having to have the eye on the display all the time.
