E-bike default ride type on my Commuting profile

I have set 'e-bike' as my default activity type on a Commuting profile so that I don't get KOMs on Strava.

Snag is that Garmin Connect doesn't seem to support e-bike as a ride type and passes 'ride' through to Strava, so I get KOMs and PRs anyway and have to edit the ride type manually.

Has anyone found a way around this or a way to let Garmin know to fix this minor anomaly?

The issue is more likely at the Strava end in that that they are not processing the sport sub type that is being passed across in the FIT activity file. You can test this yourself by loading the FIT file directly to Strava and see what it does.

Thanks, I'll try that some time when I am bored. Though Garmin Connect online doesn't recognise e-bike at all, which is where my suspicions stems from. I believe one of the e-bike manufacturers has implemented a Strava upload from the bike via bluetooth, so I assumed that the capability exists.

This has finally been fixed. Not sure who did (Garmin or Strava), all I care is that it works now. Still doesn't show up as ebike in Garmin Connect...
