Do you pedal or just ride full throttle? Now Closed

I recently bought an e-bike, an Orbea M20i. I thought I would find a forum to join and learn more about how others used their e-bikes. After seeing your posts over the past days I think I'll find another forum. Before I go, a suggestion. You should give the other participants on this forum a break and go back to beating your wife for a while.

Nice choice of bike. I wish you many joyful kilometers/miles on it.

I’m sorry for your experience so far. There are a lot of nice people on here and there is a lot that you learn from others.

I get the most enjoyment from the pictures, stories and video posts and threads. There are also brand and type specific areas of the forum. I hope that you stick around and can find some things of interest. For the most part, I think that it is a good place to learn and share as long as you don’t get too bogged down in the politics and bickering.

So after getting some help from another Ariel X rider he said a larger crank set would definitely increase resistance and he and others are using this one:

60T 170mm Crankarms 130 BCD Fixie Crankset for Single Speed Bike, Fixed Gear Bicycle, Track Road Bike (Square Taper, Black)​

If you are experiencing the same problem and want more pedal resistance on your ebikes that may also work for you and I have ordered one and will report back if that helped.
