Other than @BiGJZ74, who of you Rise owners out there are 250lbs+ riders? I'd love to hear from you if you feel the 60Nm EP8RS is up to task for you on steep punchy climbs. Especially if you have FF motor experience. I'm not worried about range and I'm typically carrying around 25-30% extra battery capacity for nothing (in my riding use-case).
I got a Rise for my wife and we both love it. The torque to weight ratio is amazing. However, the 35Nm Kenevo SL I rode at Moab wasn't nearly enough for me, even in std. Boost. 50% assist was too much to give up on the punchy slickrock climbs.
I'm every oz. of 270 lbs kitted up for riding and I ride a YT Decoy 70 Nm typically in "Low-Trail" if I'm solo on flowy trails, maybe "Mid-Trail/mid-Boost" if I'm on very rocky tech sections.
I'm guessing that 15% less assist on the EP8RS will be far less noticeable, and easily adjusted in the app to feel very close to the 70Nm on my Decoy as I'm typically leaving a lot of assist un-utilized on the Decoy ( I never have Boost set to 'high').
@BiGJZ74 - Do you have both the Rise and a FF? Are you happy as a clam w/ the Rise?
