Give me FULL POWER, I still don't have any skill and I've been riding all my life 😁👍

[@Charpricce]

so i brought a whyte rsx160 due to being a below knee amputee finding it really good minus the small issues ive had

[@HeathenRides]

I think 85 to 90 nm of torque is good enough to have a lot of fun .I have a 90n, and a 65 nm and the difference is massive but I guess the 65 nm bike would be better if it just had one more gear or wider range it's nine speed and has a big chain ring in the front and no big sprockets in the rear if it had four tooths less in the front and 46 in the rear i guess i wouldn't feel that much difference..so with a good gear ratio i guess 70 nm of torque is enough and them you can probably have fun for hour's with only 380 wh battery which would make the bike really light with right components probably 17 kilos and then you would need less skills to control the bike to
So just make 70 nm torque with 380 wh battery 140 mm travel in the back and 160 in the front 27 inch 2,8 tire in the rear and 28 inch in the front with 2,5 tire (opposite of mtb because motor) and treads in the front that are made to not slide sideways and the rear tire treads that just concentrate on not spinning..777 mm handlebar is wide enough for the tallest riders who think they need 820mm 😂 anyways I think thicker forks with dual clamps and 160mm upside down travel should be the standard it's way too flexible forks nowadays

How about making emtb for people in wheelchair if they can move their legs a little bit they should just have really short crank arm's that you barely needs to touch before the starts spinning and if they don't have enough strength they could be clipped in and have a thumb throttle that, makes the pedal go around to build back those nerves with just ten cm long crank arm's and a wide seat with a supporting edge so you can't slide off and a gyroscope in the rims that helps with balance in slow speeds and hydraulic dropper post amd training wheels that are built into the rear triangle that comes out by pushing a nob on the handlebar, ,, would be really cool to make a bike like that engineering is cool 😎 but I don't know how big the market is
And it would be dangerous for a handicapped person to set out on a long mountain tour alone..,maybe they should alao have a GPS protected inside the frame and a emergency button on a watch or on the frame or something

I just don’t know why a type 1 Emtb is considered full power? Anything less is a bit silly if you ask me. 😊. Unless it a road bike.
