I have an electric bike with seven gears. I almost never shift because it's unnecessary. I can climb steep hills without shifting if I use the electric throttle. Just to clarify your statement about batteries, you seem to have mistaken the motor rating for battery rating. Motors are rated in watts, batteries are rated in amp hours. |

Except for when I'm towing kids in a trailer. 70kg extra means that the motor will drop out when speed drops below 5-6 km/h, because it's a hub motor. 250W isn't quite enough in that situation. Am contemplating upgrading to a longtail now that the kids are older, and will definitely get a mid-drive if I do.
