As an occasional recreational rider on a Bike over the last 30 years I reckon I have pedaled in the typical 50 - 60 rpm range. When I first got my eBike I did the same for first several weeks. Now I'm finding myself more comfortable in the 60 - 70 rpm range.
There has been studies for conventional Bikes but I haven't seen anything on the optimal cadence on an eBike. The primary purpose of my eBike is to commute to work in casual clothes and arrive sweat free.
I'm never going to achieve the road bike cadence of 90 - 100 rpm but should I look to increase my cadence to 70 - 80 rpm to improve my efficiency. Or should I ride at whatever cadence feels good and just enjoy the fun ride into work.
