I've heard there are some systems that will sense how hard you're working,
and adjust the power to give you more assist as you try harder..
While that would be nice to have, the cost is likely a lot higher than
the regular stuff that's been around for a while.
If health permits, my goal would be to use the least amount of assist possible.
And to have the added hardware load be light enough,
that I could still ride around on flat ground without busting any part of my body.
If the hub motor and battery was small and light, I could still ride my normal
mileage and just use the assist when it was really needed..
Like right now, I'll use the push mower on the lawn, until it gets away from me..
Then I'll get out the gas mower..
