Using an Apple Watch for tracking cycle workouts with e-bike but obviously it has no idea about my usage of throttle or pedal assist.  When I import into Strava and set the ride type to e-bike or e-mountain bike, does that do anything to the data or is it just tagging that exercise with the type?  Or if I track via Strava, how does it utilize the e-bike type, does it use it to calculate calories?
 

if so, is it best to just use Apple Watch through a HIIT workout to track heart rate and let Strava track the bike ride/route information?

Hey ​@jaybytez,

To answer your first question, yes the data is adjusting when selecting your ride type.
As for your question about calories, I recommend taking a look at our article on Calorie Calculations on our support site as it provides details on what you are looking for.
