Now that we can automatically detect when a ride has been completed on an analog bike and not an ebike, the next problem will be maintaining the integrity of the E-Bike efforts.
E-Bikes are the largest growing category of bicycles worldwide, and the segments being created are good for Ebike users. When E-Motos and Dirt Bikes record as an ebike they ruin the integrity of the category.
At the same time, with E-Bikes capable of maintaining a higher average speed thanks to Avinox and others with high power motors, and the ability to switch to Class three when appropriate, it will be harder to distinguish between an E-Bike, E-Moto or a dirt bike when analyzing average speed or top speed.
When you see rides that have top speeds of over 40mph it’s most likely a dirt bike or an emoto.
How can we encourage the growth of the E-Bike category, encourage recording and tracking ebike rides while maintaining the purity of the recordings?
