I have 6 years experience with a BBSHD. I pedal almost all the time. I get as much or as little exercise as I want by turning down the assist, or shifting up a gear or 2 and spinning or practicing proper pedaling technique. But 1500W and a throttle allows me to run for my life if needed, out run changing weather situations, and fight 20-25mph headwinds. At the end of a 50 mile ride I may throttle the last couple of miles home, or after a couple drinks. It's powerful.reliable, and almost silent. I think versatile would describe it well. If you don't like the throttle-don't use it, if you don't need the extra power-don't turn up the assist. I started with an 18Ah battery, then 24Ah, now on my third one 28Ah. Speed, power, range, dependability (nice when you're 20 miles form home at night and it's raining). Would I trade all of that for the torque sensing illusion????
TS increases the assist as you pedal harder. the BBSHD doesn't, unless you turn up the assist level. Who is actually doing more work?
