Greetings from Italy.
I am new and in the process of purchasing an eRoad.
I found it very interesting to read the posts of this forum because I clarified my ideas and found some excellent observations.
The purchase I have to make concerns a BMC AMP Sport Three 2021 with Shimano Steps E6100 engine or a Polini EP3 motorized Basso Volta.
For those unfamiliar with the Polini engine, I can tell you that it is also mounted on the Bianchi Impulso All Road but also on high-profile eMTBs.
I tried the Polini engine even if the test lasted a short time but I made a small but significant climb in time to understand the assistance logic.
I've never tried the Shimano Steps E6100 motor.
My most significant experience on eRoad is with a Pinallo Nytro with Fazua engine that provides equal torque to the Shimano ie 60 Nm. With the Nytro I did 180 km and 1800m + using only the ECO assistance uphill and never on other occasions. . But the bike is too heavy and has little autonomy with a 250Kw battery. I discarded it immediately.
The Polini instead has a power of about 75 Nm and five levels of assistance. It is good to say immediately that the first three levels are mainly used because the engine power is absolutely exaggerated.
My choice, even if I haven't tried the BMC, is for this type of bicycle which is not very common in Italy. I always talk about BMC eRoads because the muscular models are very much appreciated by Italian cyclists.
The use I will make of it will be mainly hilly and not in the plains. I live in a part of north-eastern Italy and I am a few kilometers away from the Dolomites and Alpine passes such as the Gavia Mortirolo rather than the Stelvio.
I also have a muscle bike that I keep and use regularly. It is a Pinarello F10 of Pete Kennaugh's Team Sky when the London 2012 Olympic champion was racing for Team Sky.
From what I have read and from what I have documented the BMC has an excellent weight / power ratio. You can use it even without assistance safely. It is light enough to be a mid-engined eRoad. It can be assumed that in exits of 100 120 km you can also do 50 60 km without assistance and if the slopes are not so important as to require the use of the engine. But as already written the battery life is linked to many factors that it is not possible to establish a rule for all situations.
The BMC is of excellent quality and finish. The components are dignified without looking for the top of the range version.
The question I ask is whether according to those who own this model of BMC it is possible to make a "fairly extreme" use for asphalted mountain roads. For example, is it conceivable to do laps of 140 150 km with an elevation gain of 2500m +?
I apologize if I have written a lot and I apologize for my translated English.
Thanks to all for those who read me and answer me. Franco
