I'd willingly pay insurance if i can legally go 30 throttle only to assimilate with traffic. I only use bonus watts to bridge unsafe areas where there is hardly any shoulder. There is safety in speed i won't be a sitting duck

Hmm... this is getting closer to a bike I might buy...

www.pinkbike.com

First Ride: Cannondale Moterra SL eMTB - Full Power Without the Weight - Pinkbike

The Moterra SL challenges the notion that lightweight e-bikes need to be underpowered.

I’ll have a demo for you to try shortly.

Those who have ridden this already are impressed .

A strong move forward for cannondale.

I’ll ride it next week and report back on the range.

I’m skeptical of the range but we shall see

I'm sure the answer is battery as I heard CDale developed the battery, but such a shame it's an ep801 and not a Bosch.
 
What’s the SL stand for? Slow and lame, silly and lighter than a dump truck, sell later because it’s not full power, shoulda left at the shop… I know it can’t be super light, my transition sentinel is not light and it’s lighter than all these sl bikes. I personally think the SL stands for Sell Later after your buddy’s are mocking you from the top of the hill you got dropped on because they have full power e bikes.😉

Guess you missed the part that it "IS" a full power under 20 kg. Which seems to earn the Super Light badge.

With a 600 wh battery with a full power drive unit….. pushing a 45 lb bike sucks.

The specs on this bike leave me feeling underwhelmed… But I’ll report back after I ride it shortly

I suppose, with all your other friends are on lightweight E bikes, this bike will be fine
