I'm sorry, but eebs can fuck right off: "a boost mode allows a ridiculous 120 Nm and 1000W peak power for 30-second bursts."
That's no kind of 'leveller', that's pro road race sprinter-like power. It's no wonder the trails are being ripped to shit, and under-skilled riders are finding themselves in places they really aren't equipped to ride.

Lunch ride today.

I was stupid enough to ride a (to me) fairly new trail and looked at the landscape instead of the trail, and of course there was a small log with some snow on top. I otb:ed and had time to see that the landing looked pretty smooth, but my thighs fell hard on the log and the bike came on top. I could cycle back but it was quite painful.
