Friend of mine bought an Orbea Rise last year, he is about the size and weight as Cam but a bit older, and rides the same kind of stuff if possible (not many choices here), he is completely happy with the power output and the 140/150 travel.
I rode with him a 1600hm and 50km round with some techy trails, I had no problem to keep up with him (low power mode) and he had a good part of the battery charge left when we returned. I know that he is quite fit but not that fit when grinding steep climbs on a bicycle.
I could imagine such a light eBike for myself if I would live where I could use it for the climbs. Has to be way cheaper though (I know, a Deore version..).
