This exposed a certain fatal flaw of the Nextbike E-bikes - when the assistance worked, they were a dream. It was incredibly easy to break it though - just drive off a taller curb. Yup, I learned the lesson after only a couple of times. Still, this contributed to the system's difficulties - lugging heavy batteries around with only your muscles and three gears for motive power is the opposite of fun and liberating, after all 5/n
