Today’s electric bicycles, particularly cargo, off-road, and commuter models, have dazzled us with their high power outputs and cutting-edge technology. While all that’s cool and all, there’s another branch of e-biking that’s all about preserving the natural pedal feel of the traditional bicycle. These bikes are packing a motor for the sake of making rides longer and less tiring, while at the same time providing an engaging ride.
This is especially true when we look at the electric gravel bike and lightweight e-MTB sectors. Here, the game is dominated by low-power motors that prioritize pedal feel and efficiency – motors like the Bosch Performance Line SX which was launched in 2023. Lots of new e-bikes have embraced the Bosch Performance Line SX motor with open arms, and the latest of which comes from Spanish bike specialist MMR.
