Strava is often auto-flagging my road bike rides in last few months. They suspect it was a e-bike ride. Even though I’ve ridden those courses many time in the past, even faster. If they would consider my efforts in the past, on the same or other courses, they would see that all flagged rides are just a normal road bike efforts for my standards. I requested support review already several times, but no answer.

What to do? Can some Strava admin help me here?

There are no Strava admins or support staff working here, so you have to wait for the answer from their official support. But you could check your rides for GPS inaccuracies, exaggerated ascents or speed sensor problems - If there are stretches of high velocity the Strava AI will assume a vehicle ride. Sometimes the “Correct elevation” or “Correct distance” (only on the website) can help.

There are no anomalies in my rides regarding GPS inaccuracies (or any other). So this shouldn’t be problem. The problem is that Strava auto-flagging is not working properly.
