E-bike with torque, cadence and throttle...does it exist?

My torque sensor experience is with Bosch bikes.

On turbo, there's not a lot of effort required - you aren't doing a lot more than turning the pedals to activate the motor.

Still some effort required on steep hills, but that's more a function of the power of the motor rather than the sensors.

On my A2B Hybrid the opposite seems to be the norm. On flat, the motor gets you to do some or most of the work, although a lot less effort and more speed than a regular bike. That's when I feel tempted to swap the bike with a cadence one. On hills, however, I feel the bike becomes fully alive...my leg effort is minimal. Then again, we don't have a lot of hills, let alone steep hills down south.
