Default activity settings for imported activities

[Former Member]

While I use Strava for tracking, I track all my rides and runs with my Apple Watch and then sync them up when I'm done with the activity.

When I go for a bike ride, it will always be an e-bike ride because that is what I am on. But when I record it as n "Outdoor Ride" on my watch, it will always import as a "Ride". This makes sense because Strava has no idea it was on my e-mtb.

So, what I would like to be able to do is set a default activity mapping in my profile so when Strava imports a cycling activity, it automatically updates to one of the "E-Bike" activities. This will save having to edit each ride and change the activity type manually.

If you don't mind using a 3rd party service for that, https://strautomator.com can do what you want (set the default activity type). Plus a lot more.

Wow, that Strautomator is just what I was after.
