It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I'm a tall and heavy dude, I've just checked on my Bosch app, I went up to 621W on a recent trip. Even if it's for a short but steep elevation (maybe a few seconds), I'm glad my motor is helping me so I can go for 40-60 km offroad trips without worrying about my legs giving up

Interesting numbers. And good for you for getting out there. I agree: just knowing that the motor is there is a superpower in itself.
