A proposito dell'aggiornamento del firmware, ho scritto a Rocky Mountain chiedendo quali fossero le migliorie; mi hanno risposto così:
This firmware update grants better power output at high cadences and tapers the power output much closer to the end of the battery’s charge, allowing the bike to keep going at full speed until the very end of the available power. Please note that this change has the potential to increase battery consumption, depending on rider style. The increased power output at high cadences allow riders to make it up tricker climbing sections while carrying more speed, but if they use it to challenge themselves then it will come at the cost of battery life. However, more measured riders may find that their apparent range increases, since the power doesn’t taper as early as before.
Sebbene il testo non mi sia chiarissimo, credo di capire che c'è una maggior potenza erogata alle alte cadenze ed una gestione "intelligente" della carica, riducendo la potenza quando la batteria si avvia alla fine della carica.
