After a couple of rides and a recent visit to have Grey checked (where I asked the vendor to ride it with #PAS at zero to see if he too has a hard time pedaling)...
Grey ⚫🚲 is no good without 🔋 power, unlike Big Bike ⚪🚲 that rides like any regular non-powered #MTB.
Grey ⚫🚲 doesn't have the power recovery feature (forgot the proper name for it) that some #eBikes have which, without battery power, makes it difficult to pedal, due to the resistance of the magnets. So I didn't think that purely human-powered pedaling would be an issue.
I did test ride it before buying. But the place for test riding is no good for riding in pure pedal power for wimpy me -- it's mostly inclines.
Despite Grey ⚫🚲 not letting me pedal at #PAS zero, I still get a good workout with it -- comparable to my efforts riding Big Bike ⚪🚲. That is based on the numbers reported by my #Garmin ⌚.
With ⚫🚲, I can throttle while* doing PAS. Like doing a kick & punch 🥋 combo. 😄 So, while pedaling on PAS 1, I can simply throttle to get a boost instead of switching up to a higher PAS. The throttle power is not dependent on the current PAS setting. Meaning on PAS 1, I can throttle up to the max* 37kph. But I won't, of course. 🤪
