Never had a similar experience with a mid-drive. I’ve found every bike with a hub motor I’ve tried disappointing on hilly terrain or with a lot of start/stop and if you only cycle on flat what’s even the point of having an ebike? (Assuming it’s one that’s legal in Europe).

A Europe legal hub drive is gonna be super weak. My hub drive isnt technically legal but cops literally can’t be bothered to do their basic jobs these days in the US so it’s not like I’m ever gonna get caught
