Not true, this bike has a torque sensor and applies assist proportional to how hard the pedals are pressed. I have one and it feels very natural and similar to a mid drive ebike. What you describe is a cadence sensor which is what many cheaper hub drive bikes use and those do have more of the on-off assist.

The $2k price is inflated and reflects in being a name brand bike and being the launch price from several years ago. Momentum is a brand of Giant which is first tier brand like Trek or Specialized.

$800 is a very good price for this bike given the torque sensor and the higher quality compared to a no name e-bike. But it is really for a cyclist that wants a some assist and not someone looking for more of an electric moped. The range is pretty low and it does not have a no pedal throttle.

Its a hub motor. That means it isn't really pedal-assist, instead the pedals operate like an on-off switch.
Its junk. Do not buy. If you want an ebike where the motor "assists" you rather than just turning on, get a mid-drive bike like the deal on walmart. They measure the actual power you are putting into the pedals and then give you an additional bit of power. Its seamless and just feels like biking is easier.

If they were ever selling this for $2000 they are insane. This is a sub-$1000 ebike.

People are willing to pay a lot for integrated battery aka clean looks.

But this can be a disadvantage if you live in an apartment and park your bike in a shared space. My building has a bike room, but I can't charge my bike there, so I remove the battery and charge it in my apartment. Can't do that with this one.
On the positive side, since it's a presumably American company, it's more likely that the battery will be UL/ETL rated.

Thanks, I wasnt aware that any hub motor bikes had decently functioning torque sensors.

I guess my concern is how does that even work with a geared system though? That just seems overly complicated, but I guess you could make it work.

Depending on the power setting, the motor multiplies the speed being sent to it by the rider. So if your rear sprocket is turning at say 60rpm, the motor, on the lowest assist setting, might turn the wheel at 65rpm. But of course, the motor is turning as well, so its output is only the additional 5rpm. Those numbers are just guesses, btw. It's not really all that complicated, I have an older (2019) eBike with rear motor and gearing and it works and feels just fine.

Lots of hub motor bikes have very well tuned torque sensor pedal assist. Look at Aventon, Lectric Express 500/750 or Ride1up roadster. Aventon's offering even went a step further by adding cadence sensor so you can chose between cadence or torque based on riding conditions.

Just picked it up in person from Denver. But they still charged me 85$ Destination fee despite the bike being in stock.

So the price is 884$ not 799$.
LOVED the stupid yellow color.

It is tall. But in a good way. I am 6'4" and somehow Large is the correct size for me.
Large is never the correct size for me. But it fit perfect. But I had them put in a taller stem on it.

IT IS FAST. I didn't believe it was only 250W when they said it was.
Charger is gigantic.
Pedals are throw away.
Wheels are not tubeless compatible.
Does it drive like a mid drive? Probably??. Torque sensing is 10x better than a 300$ walmart ebike.
But I never rode a mid drive.
For 1k? Couldn't be happier for a stealth Ebike.

Momentum is a brand of Giant, from Taiwan.
They are big in asia and EU. So most likely the batteries are fine.

E+1 also available for 899. Have been looking for an around town commuter and I don't mind the price but kind of afraid of theft. At least it's more inconspicuous compared to other ebikes though.

This is tempting me to get into Ebiking. I'm used to riding mountain or hybrid bikes all under 25 pounds and this bike is 41lbs, almost double what I'm used to. Maybe that's normal but seems heavy. I guess if one gets tired of it, it will make a nice anchor.

nono. The comment about batteries, it meant a removable battery csn be charged at your desk at work (or your home) while the bike is inside a garage/locker at a highrise/workplace.
