6 kilowatts and 280 Nm of torque is definitely overkill for a pedal-assist bicycle.

Surely that torque is inaccurate? That's over twice the amount of torque that a 2024 1.1L Africa Twin puts down. I don't know how you would even control that on something as light as an e-bike.

Peak torque, measured somewhere. For an electric motor that's usually hold or near zero rpm torque. A computer does the controlling.

But, yeah. Crazy number.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
