A Como Turbo, the one that costs like 4500€, 90 Nm. I can't find a good basket for this handlebar. I like the automatic radar (very useful) but I can't afford a so expensive bike.
A few questions about a Como 3.

What makes me totally surprised is the fact the e-bike rides at 15 km/h while you pedalling, as the max motor power at 90 Nm can be as high as 565 W, which is at the level of a world class competing cyclist. What is your cadence?
I pedal at a low cadence (around 30/40 RPM) and without force.
Does the motor still deliver this power? Because I start off fast (I'd even say I accelerate very fast), but then it pulls me along at about that speed without tiring me out.

The motor is totally inefficient at such a low cadence. It delivers very little of power. If you could ride at a way lower gear and bring yourself at least to the cadence of 70, the motor would provide as much power as you got enormous acceleration to 25 km/h. No need for Turbo at all then. The point here is, you do not need to pedal hard. With a low gear, pedalling at 70 is effortless! I understand you might not be used to it but at least try... Otherwise, it is just a waste of the motor.
If it is the Como with colour display, the screen will turn green when you achieve the minimum acceptable cadence.
