I just completed the Etape du Tour de France yesterday. My HUAWEI watch also records and uploads almost immediately. The problem is that the watch battery often dies on long spins like that. What can I do to get the Element Bolt uploading, with and without WiFi please?

Hi ​@P Surlis , I don’t know what you did setup and tried so far but you will need the Wahoo app on your phone, pair your Bolt there, setup WiFi connections in that app and you can establish a connection to Strava there too. After that is done the Bolt can upload activities to Strava directly (WiFi) or it can upload activities to the Wahoo app (Bluetooth) and the Wahoo app does the uploading to Strava.

Hi Jan, 

many thanks for send that reply. I actually am still abroad and sent my Bolt home with my bike. I will try all when I get back. Appreciate the help. Pat
