It tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo. For mountain riding, it captures how the bike carries speed when you're pushing the pedals on less technical surfaces. The strongest influences are typical trail-width tires and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. In day-to-day riding, that usually shows up as easier acceleration and less effort to maintain speed.

Uphill performance score: 8.6/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. The easiest gear works out to about 16.9 gear inches.
