It's annoying to have to go into Strava and edit the ride so that the correct e-bike segments are applied.

  Hey Doug, 
  
  Thanks for your suggestion here. We are still sometime away before we implement more features on the Karoo that support an E-bike, hence you do not see E-bike as an option. Nevertheless, I am putting this suggestion across to my team as a reference :)

  I'm just after the ability to set the Strava ride type before upload.

  Currently the way I handle it is I upload to Strava as a bike ride, then later go to the Strava web site, edit the ride, and select E-Bike ride instead.

  Surely that can't be difficult to implement?

  The ability to select an e-ride before uploading would be nice and sufficient for my use.

  Strava seems to automatically detect that it was an e-bike and suggests to change the ride type though but there's a chance that it won't recognise it every single time.

  I'm just about to update my bike to an e-bike and it is disappointing that you don't support the e-bike standard. It is ANT+ LEV, since you do ANT+ it shouldn't be too hard!!!. 

  Looks like I'm going to have to go back to Garmin who do support it. :(

  E-Bike ride type would be a great feature addition. I ride a Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp E5 and log 7-8K miles a year, being retired sure helps. So riding every day and having the ride upload to Strava works well.

  So now just add ride type E-Bike as an option and save as the default. Help us E-bike riders out please.

  Thank you in advance.

  Ok so here is the perfect work around for setting the ride type to E-Bike-Ride. There is an app called ActivityFix where you create a rule ti change all rides to e-bike. It is awesome. https://activityfix.com

  This! Ebikes are only going to get more popular, please catch up Hammerhead! :) I suggest that you should be able to set the bike type to ebike and/or have a profile set to default to ebike activity type. Thanks! :)

  Hi Tim, eBike is now supported on Karoo 2 and any rides uploaded on Strava will be identified as eBike.

  Hi Ali
  Thank you for the reply.
  Can you provide the link on how to do it?
  Because I only find info about connecting an eBike to the K2, but not how I can add a e-bike (like MTB, roadbike),
  .
