I’ve not been riding as much in recent months after baby #3 arrived, and all of it was on the Levo, basically just doing my short commute until very recently. I’ve been riding my hardtail since the pandemic arrived and I was pleasantly surprised to find I was about as fast up a fairly big climb as I was in my pre eMTB and pre three children days.

I think that confirms that if you’re like me and pedal as hard as the mood takes you rather than to go uphill at a certain speed then you won’t lose fitness with an ebike.
