has anyone got an E-MTB?

When Tesco starts selling e-bikes thats the end of cycling as we know it.

Or the middle isle of Aldi

Or Lidl
 
Looking at the moterra again - I thought it was ticking all of my boxes

Untill I realised the front chainring must be smaller than any granny ring out there.....

Canondale dont say how many teeth it has but the rear is 11-42.

So top gear would be rear 11T and front (guess) 20T. so on the road home from a bike ride I would be dropped off the back of the group maxing out at 15mph - when I am used to 11T X44T!!!!

Whereas the Specialized levo has a 11T X 32T which I guess is more like normal these days

and the levo has a slacker head angle and comes stock with UST rims and tires 2.8"!!!

The Bosch chainring spins twice as fast as the cranks.

Does this still apply if the battery is flat and I wonder is there is any way to calculate the "effective" front chainring?
