6 kilowatts and 280 Nm of torque is definitely overkill for a pedal-assist bicycle.

    Surely that torque is inaccurate? That’s over twice the amount of torque that a 2024 1.1L Africa Twin puts down. I don’t know how you would even control that on something as light as an e-bike.

      Peak torque, measured somewhere. For an electric motor that’s usually hold or near zero rpm torque. A computer does the controlling.

      But, yeah. Crazy number.
