I just created a test e-Bike (MTB category) and made it default

From the App, or on a PC ?

😬🙈

 

Your App is stronger than mine .... 😋

 

 

Will try again tomorrow ....

 

 

PS . I do have a note in the one block that it is an ebike ... but the rides still load as normal bike rides.

How do your current e-bike rides load?

[ChrisF]

Free version

 

 

Wondering if these options differ on the subscription version ....

As a "mountain bike".

 

I have to edit the activity, the select "type of sport", then select ebike

Are you on iOS or Android? Nice new direction for the thread 😂

As said before the problem is not the software, app or feature but more between the chair and the keyboard 😉

Okayyy ... fresh look at this ....

 

None of these blocks allow the selection the "sport type".  Thus the ride is NOT loaded as an ebike ride.

 

It gets loaded under normal MTB rides, with the "bike title" noting it as an ebike.

Correct: It’s tracking the use of a bike, and not the activity type.

My default bike is the one I use more often than anything else, so the changes are kept to a minimum. Efficiency rules 😀😂🤣

And this is at the core of the gripes in this thread.

 

It seems impossible to set an ebike to auto load as an ebike activity type.

 

 

Two of my three bikes are ebikes ... so the vast majority of my rides must be manually updated .... not very efficient from our friends at Strava.

Garmin 530 or higher. Create Ebike profile and select when riding ebike. Uploads as ebike ride. 

I've started logging Vespa rides as ebike.

I think the the ebike community would complain about that the same way we complain about ebikes
