I am for a bike that will accurately respond to my feet demand. A good torque sensor and a proportional controller is all I need. Take the cadence or speed out of the equation.

Test ride them and they all have delayed assist on takeoff.

New ebikes nowadays are not using brake sensors as motor cutoff. Instead they seems to look for initial cadence or speed to allow motor to run for safety. This set up resulted in delayed motor response during takeoff. It's difficult starting on a narrow path facing uphill. Apart from the above...

Torque sensor will give a proportional motor assist depending how hard you push the pedal. Cadence will run the motor when you turn the pedal depending on the speed. I fell down few times making a u-turn on cadence sensor. The motor kicks in unexpectedly.

I have a 2 year old 64 lbs cruiser with hub motor, bb torque sensor and brake sensor use for brake light and motor cutoff. The motor assist is instant and proportional to my pedaling. For the last 6 months I've been looking for a lighter ebike that will give me same instant response and there's...
