Review Ultima Mobility with Valeo motor and Effi gearbox

[Mabman]

I realize that this isn't an EMTB but a comprehensive review of a pretty solid effort I feel at a motor/gear box type bike.

The fact that it is primarily an effort based in France is interesting.

Would like to see an EMTB rendering of this French MGU. Incredible torque per the spec. The limited gear ratio compared to Pinion and Rohloff (not an MGU but internally geared) is not cool, but perhaps with EMTB, would less of an issue by just leaning into the torque of the ebike motor (especially this one with 120nm) with taller gearing. Automatic shifting is icing on the cake but tedious to tune correctly, but the bike must be good a manually shifting, which is not clear from the review.
