“ Also worth saying one negative of ebikes is that when you get back on a normal bike it can feel really hard work and slow and unfit.”
This is another reason why riding an ebike with the power off sometimes is really nice – I get back on my hardtail and it feels so fast and easy!
I think there’s a bit of a tendency to put really draggy tyres on ebikes on the grounds that you have the motor to help out – but that means it always feels more like you need the motor, and above the cut-out speed you need a steeper gradient to keep the bike rolling fast (or more leg power).
“ I still don’t know what half fat and full fat mean referring to ebikers? Smaller motor = ‘half fat?’ Full fat = motor twice that size?”
Yes, a Levo is full fat, a Levo SL is half fat. The former is much heavier and has about twice the real world power.
