I think if you have been riding mountain bikes for many years the Decoy and Shimano is a great combo, but I like to maintain a decent level of fitness so mix up my ebike rides with my other mtb's, I also have all my settings set to low and find there is plenty there when needed, but lots of climbing and downhill trails mixed with some long XC rides, and not dissing anyone but ebikes do attract riders that want to power through everything without effort.
Just my thoughts.
Im really not bothered about fitness. Im fit enough for what i need to do. Pulling around a 25kg bike though is like weight training in its self and even on an ebike i feel like i have had a good enough workout.
Im not saying 300% isnt enough im saying that i dont think it gives you that when under pull pedal power. I do notice many ebikes going around trails at a mono speed which is not how i want to ride
