Comparing mid drive motors - Bosch vs Panasonic vs Shimano

[knut7]

I just did a review of the Bosch Performance CX, Panasonic X0 and Shimano Steps E8000. All 2018 models with the latest updates as of june/18. The Performance CX sure has changed since the last time I wrote about it, back in 2016.

Bosch, Panasonic and Shimano motors tested

Very cool vid! Nice to see some testing done.
So it seems Bosch CX is the most powerfull but a bit uncivilised (maybe thats why i like it so much)
Shimano is definetely the smoothest and Panasonic a good allrounder.
Seems to comply with most of the reviews i've read.
Keep up the good work!

I really like the bosch motor when use in hybrid/city bikes, as i find the instant shove it has of benefit, but much prefer the shimano on trails as is feels more natural for want of a better word.
