With the electric I found that the larger the wheel the faster the bike. With more speed going into the hill, the less pedaling. Also I'm not sure the gearing thing works the same with friction.It seems to just slips when the bike slows down and the demand for toruge gets higher. I think the torque at the ground is pretty much always the same.
I know that in europe the size of the wheel is regulated to keep the speed down. I'm just not sure about that wheel thing till I get this bike rocking.
But trust me I will let you know.
So far all my muscles ache and thats a good thing.
