Which do you prefer and why?
My first Ebike, a PowerCycle Salisbury had torque and throttle.. which i just took for granted until i got my second ebike.
The torque sensor was very natural, the harder you pedaled the more the motor compensated. You could start very gradually on the torque sensor, or with full assist using the the throttle.
On the other hand my current bike has the pedal sensor which on its own requires a real effort to pedal the bike unassisted for those first few strokes until the motor suddenly kicks in. This can be very disconcerting and kinds of defeats the purpose of having a motor assisted bike...
For that reason i generally always use the throttle which offers more control than pedal sensor alone. I shudder to think of those people who, according to what i've read, wont have throttle controls, just the pedalic sensor.
