According to the product specialist

Pros
Special e-bike features on your cycle computer.
The ClimbPro feature displays which climbs lie ahead with information about length, gradient and duration.
When connected to an e-Bike that is compatible with ANT+® technology, you receive navigation guidance and alerts based on the battery status, assistance level and range.
Up to 16 hours of battery life, even in high-demand use.
Impressive battery life of up to 35 hours when used intensively (or up to 70 hours in battery saver mode).
New multi-band satellite technology for the best GPS reception, even when cycling in dense forest or in the busy city.
The Edge 1040 gives you insight into your VO2 max, recovery time and training load, and you'll learn how your body responds to training.
Cons
For the live-track functions, a mobile phone is required.
The Edge Explore 2 is not compatible with the Power mount. Only the Edge Explore 2 Power can be connected to the Power mount.
Despite its clear legibility, the Edge 1040 is on the large side for a bike computer.
The Garmin Edge 1040's battery life is shorter than that of the Garmin Edge 1040 Solar.
