On trails that are on fragile cut sections that need maintenance.... I'm a little torn. Need some more data to prove the extra torque isn't going to ruin things. It's likely not much, if any, more torque than a pro level racer could deliver, but if everyone can apply that much power vs 1 or 2 people, it seems to me that it would assist in an elevated rate of trail damage. Idk, maybe I'm also a little sassy about earning my turns. if I'm being honest.

Be assured a 48v 500watt will not add enough torque to a slightly above average mountain biker to equal a pro. It will not keep up. Ask me how I know.
