I can;t do it now as all my rides a private

but when they were public my rides all appeared along with non-electric bike
which was one of the reasons I went back to private

even now - when I check after a ride - such as when there was a gale force wind across The Bridge - it looked very much like my ride was lumped in with all bikes

has this changed - or am I looking at it wrong??

As I pointed out earlier, on Garmin GPS systems and the Android Strava app you have to change the ride mode to 'Ebike Ride' before you start recording and then on completion of the ride it automatically uploads to the correct heading as per my ride yesterday as below.
It is also possible to edit the ride mode from 'Ride' to 'E-bike Ride' after it's been uploaded to Strava to put it into the correct category.

Yes - I agree - that happens to me as well

what I meant - but didn;t explain too well - was the entry on the segments leaderboards

even though my ride are logged a ebike rides when I look at my records

when I look at the segments I appear along with other bikes

not sure if the fact that it was an ebike ride would be clear to other people if it was public

Just change it to ebike ride and the leaderboards should correct.

Just as an experiment I changed the above ride which has only 5 segments shown as an E-bike ride to a standard Ride, refreshed the page and 30+ segments were shown. Where segments match for the two ride types, they have different names and different leader boards.
