What motor parameters can I set in the Avinox Ride app?

1. 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 acceleration and uphill riding becomes more strenuous, but the bike is less prone to slipping on such surfaces.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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 overun 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 still ride Amflow PL when the Drive Unit is turned off or if the battery runs out?

Yes. If the Drive Unit is off or the battery has run out, you can ride it like a non-electrical bicycle by pedaling.

What maintenance does Amflow PL require?

Due to natural wear and tear of the components, Amflow PL requires maintenance. Here is how to extend the lifespan and optimize performance for different parts:

1. Shock absorbers: Set the air pressure and adjust the compression and rebound settings according to the riding conditions before each ride. Clean the shock absorbers after each ride. Service the air chamber and reapply lubricant to the aluminum alloy shock pivot after every 50 hours of riding. Take your fork/shock to a FOX dealer for inspection and maintenance after every 150 hours of riding (or once annually).

2. Bike chain: Always clean the chain, remove dirt, and re-lubricate. A well-maintained chain should be replaced after about 1000 kilometers of riding to prevent excessive wear on the chainrings. Use a dedicated chain checker to determine whether or not the chain requires replacement.

3. Crankset, chainrings, and cassette: The wear on these components largely depends on riding style, maintenance, and the environment. It is recommended to service them at an authorized store every six months.

4. Brake fluid: Brake fluid should be replaced annually to ensure excellent brake performance.

5. Rotors: Keep the rotors clean and free of dirt. Do not touch them with your hands, as the natural oils on fingers and hands can negatively affect brake pad performance. Clean promptly after riding on muddy roads. Dirty brake pads will wear out more quickly and affect braking performance, potentially causing significant noise when braking.

6. Pedals: Lubricate the pedal threads thoroughly before installation to reduce noise.

7. Grips: Grips are coated with rubber. If the rubber becomes porous or greasy over time or after exposure to the sun, it is recommended to replace them with new grips.

8. Wheelset: Wheelset should not have any vertical or lateral wobble. If you notice the wheelset has been impacted, you can go to a professional bike shop to adjust the spoke tension to correct any offset caused by impact.

9. Tires: Tires should always have sufficient tread for adequate grip on roads or trails. If you find sidewall damage when inspecting the tires, replace them promptly.
