Only 172.4kg uphill? No sweat for my 20" wheeled Dahon Helios P8 BBS01B folding bike conversion, but with pedalling, with the controller limited to 15A and 36V battery. Haven't tried the same yet with 20A, I expect it'd be easier and faster, battery permitting.
Serious cargo hauling..
Lean into them corners lad, hehe ! :)

That's not uphill, simply sped up video in a flat car park, and only 272.2kg of fatsos plus bike weight. That front hub motored thing'd be crap uphill crawling with greasy fatsos like that. The only thing about that bike I approve of, are it's 20" wheels. Twenty inches satisfy, and that's why I'm still married.

Bosch CX gen 5 motor gets power and torque upgrade to 100Nm and 750W, and it’s free to all owners, but it’s still not a match for the DJI Avinox numbers

Police hunt for men who forced 14-year-old boy off an electric bike and took it
One of the men was wearing a black balaclava and they were driving a black Mercedes-Benz CLA car
Doesn't really explain where the bike was when it was stolen. Maybe their back garden. Surely not on the street.

Pensioner put into coma after being hit by e-bike calls for crackdown
A judge at Teesside Crown Court said the electric bike was not ‘road legal’ and should not have been on either the road or pavement
"Allday, 30, was riding a Surron Light Bee X bike in May 2024 when he hit the pedestrian as he emerged from a bus stop onto the pavement.
The collision caused the victim fractures to his collarbone, shoulder elbow and arm and he suffered seven broken ribs, as well as a punctured lung. He was taken to hospital, where he was put into an induced coma for 10 days."

There is always the possibility that there was more to this. Maybe a delivery service via electric motorcycle on someone else's patch.
