The jump to 1300 watts peak power is interesting, but I wonder about the actual battery degradation over a few seasons of heavy use. Do we have any data on cycle life for these high-output units?
Probably not in a consumer review. Most of these brands just list the peak specs. It would be better to see the real world range when actually using that torque on a climb.
Interesting to see the motor power creeping up. Eventually, this hits a wall with local regulations on what is legally considered a bicycle versus a moped in different regions.
