I wonder if people know how many watts an average rider pushes up Fromme or
Old Buck. After riding my indoor trainer with a power meter I am guessing I
push under 200 watts up Old Buck. I might peak at 250 for short steeper bits.
If a rider has an extra 250 watts on tap it's a new game. I would suspect the
typical e-biker will add less of his own power with the assist but they will
be climbing easier. Much easier. Correct me if I am wrong , but aren't
pedelecs limited to 250 watts only on public roads? If so would that mean a
bike could have a switch for riding to the trails which can be selected to a
higher power trail mode?
