Haibike NDuro 8 freeride, tempted but have some q's

[Nails1979]

Hi, I was hoping for some insights/help, I'm coming from a gen 4 bosch powered eeb, 44, more round than thin and have COPD.
The bosch motor supports me enough, just, and I see the yamaha is quoted to have the same amount of torques, but is the support/cadence range as good also? I find the bosch can give decent power between 55-65rpm which is where I'm at mostly, I can do short bursts of higher cadence but then I run out of wind.

My other q is poss a weird one for some, it doesn't look like you can fit a bottle cage on them? Is that right? (I dislike carrying a camelback and have difficulty getting a drink out of them as I'm gasping for air already)

Thanks in advance

Yes you can fit a bottle cage but you have to buy Haibike own fixing kit for the bikes own rail which runs down the spine of the down tube . Re the pwx3 motor though it provides support up to 120 rpm it’s not as punchy at higher cadence as the Bosch
