The Bluetooth technology allows the connection to share the data immediately. The application gives you the possibility to manage the controls, settings, diagnostic and customizations of the motor maps. DISPLAY Transmit the display of your bike directly on the screen of your smartphone! In this way you have a clearer vision of all the data (speed, motor power, cycling power, residual range, instantaneous values, medium values, trip etc....). It is further possible to select the assistance level, maps, lights, trip reset. HEARTBEAT SENSORS The "Heartbeat Sensors" page allows users to pair a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) heartbeat sensor with their e-bike's motor engine. This integration enhances the eBiking experience by providing users with real-time heart rate data during their rides. This feature is designed to improve the eBiking experience and should not be interpreted as providing medical advice or diagnoses. MAPS SETUP Thanks to this tool it is possible to create two maps (Custom 1, Custom2), starting from one of the three standard maps (TOURING, DYNAMIC, RACE) by customizing at all torque gains and limitations for all of the 5 levels. It is also possible to manage the answer of the motor cut-off to go along with your driving style. STATISTICS This section collects all the information and statistics of your trip, useful to analyze the cyclist’s performance matched with the motor one. DIAGNOSTICS A full diagnosis system able to provide a panoramic of the conditions of your motor, of the battery and of the complete system through an easy and instant feedback. SETTINGS In addition to providing technical information, such as motor firmware versions, batteries, serial number, it collects some useful settings to optimize your experience of use. IMPORTANT: To use the application it is mandatory to update the firmware of the E-P3 and E-P3+ motors to the last version.

Will your battery last for your planned e-bike ride? VeloRange gives you a clear range forecast before you start. Instead of relying on a generic manufacturer estimate, the app simulates energy use along your actual GPX elevation profile - including climbs, assist mode, weight, battery size, and your personal calibration. FREE BASICS, FOREVER • Import GPX routes from Files, planning apps, or the share sheet • View route length, map, elevation profile, and energy curve • Set e-bike system, battery, weight, and assist mode • Calculate range under standard conditions: 20 °C, no wind, no surface analysis • See the critical point on the map if the model predicts your battery will run out PREMIUM FOR REAL CONDITIONS VeloRange Premium is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Premium unlocks extra factors that bring your forecast closer to real-world riding: • Wind by strength and direction • Automatic weather data for wind and temperature via Apple Weather • Manual temperature presets for hot and cold days • OSM surface analysis via OpenStreetMap Overpass • Instant recalculation when conditions change • Private iCloud sync for routes and your bike profile CALIBRATED TO YOUR BIKE Enter your real flat-terrain range once. VeloRange adapts the model to your e-bike and riding style - far more personal than a brochure number. FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • Optimized for iPhone and iPad • English and German • Metric and imperial units • Rename routes easily with a long press • iCloud sync for routes and your bike profile between iPhone and iPad Note: VeloRange provides a careful estimate based on physical models and your inputs. Actual range may vary due to riding style, tire pressure, battery aging, surface, and current conditions. Always plan with a reserve. ICLOUD SYNC WITH PREMIUM Keep routes, names, options, results, and your bike profile available across devices: system, weights, battery, motor cutoff, reference range, and calibration. For profile conflicts, the complete profile most recently saved with Done wins. Settings shows sync status and the last sync time. Requires the same iCloud account and active Premium on both devices.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Polini Ebike at none against VeloRange's 1. Polini Ebike also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
