What a fun bike. Reading online about the different motors I was afraid that the Brose would be underpowered, but that is simply not the case at all. I ride the whole time in Eco and it has plenty of oomph. On the steep hills I kick it up one notch and it just pulls me right up the hill with minimal effort, and I am only at 50% motor. Just wanted to post this for those doing searches and research, because I came across some threads calling the Brose weak and the Bosch having far more power. The Brose is almost silent and truly feels like an extension of your own legs. I prefer it to the Bosch-powered Trek Powerfly that I rode. Unless you are riding up and over the Rocky Mountains I can't imagine why you would need to put the Brose in 100% boost mode.
A nice side-effect to this is the range as well. I had 90% battery remaining after 10 miles, so I can definitely ride this thing all day long on one charge.
