    Yeah, compared to my regular bike, my ebike rides like shit. I wish I’d bought a more traditional bicycle-like ebike rather than my cheap folding Chinesium bike shaped object.

      Some BSOs shittiness can’t be overcome by any number of watts.

      A nice bike with a small front hub (1.8kg), torque sensor and a small battery (2kg) can feel amazing. It adds very little weight so the handling doesn’t change much but you get superpower that feels like it’s connected to your legs.
