Ash: That's a neat lower-power mid-drive system, which is really the way to go for cyclists who still want to pedal like a cyclist. I'm quickly learning on my new mid-drive Haibike that you still get a good workout with these, it just goes by faster. I have a torque sensing system (I won't bore RBW with how all this works, I'll let y'all search the terms) that produces kind of a "matching" amount of power based on how hard you pedal. I just came back from a fast, cold ride, and I'm sweating!
The great undersold aspect of ebikes is the time factor: I love to ride, but my time is very limited; this "faster pedaling" technology lets me get more miles and sights in, in a short-ish time window. There's a lot of riders out there with job and family responsibilities who would appreciate this benefit. But that's only if it's your thing. For the rest..boo hiss! ;-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
