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.

120nm would be so great for cargo ebikes, especially ones with cargo containers.

My non-cargo ebike is great at 80nm, but can only move me up a steep hill at about 9 mph @ 1,300w (52v) with a gross weight under 275lbs. Our city has steep hills, haha. Can't imagine carrying a Costco sack of rice, various groceries, a heavy lock, and a child or two on 80nm.

Us heavier riders appreciate the power too. At 100kg I'm getting lean, and I'm not lean.

It's similar to not needing a v8 engine in your car, but dam is it nice to have the power there when you need it.

I've yet to see one of these motors on an ebike, but thats certainly a perfect market for this system, far more so than calling itself an eMTB
