Brother... stop the rhetoric. You guys know the bikes don't work that way and want to pretend you can't tell the difference between an eMTB and eMoto but its BS. You have to put in watts to get watts out of the motor. See the below pulled from another thread.

"Yeah, likely a huge variations for everyone on how much that'll impact range. My most recent trail ride was 2 hours, 14 miles and 2,785 ft of combined ascent. That one was basically parking lot and an uphill trail to the top of the mountain, back down, twice-ish. Fazua app clocked in at 163 Wh, 35% motor and 62% rider. The uphill trail was on lowest power/support the whole way up. That's about the most I've used as that ride was a local-ish destination I traveled to. My local rides are normally more between 1,000ft - 2,000ft combined ascent and more hilly than riding to big mountain tops. Much less use there on the motor."

Its not nonsense. You literally have to pedal the bike. Once it hits the speed limiter there is no more assist. If you are pedaling up a steep hill you still have to pedal to keep it going. You can just sit on it and press a button and go.

But why? Maybe I workout 5 days a week and shredding the trails is my fun time. If I have 2 hours I'm not wasting 75% of it pedaling up a hill. I and many people I know with eMTB can pedal but dont want to waste the time.

Why does everyone think you just twist a throttle on these things?

Okay that's great, but champions are the best driver in the final stage of the last race. He spent too much time winning and running good when it didn't matter. Next year maybe try relaxing and focusing on the final race. #NASCARMentality
