Hi All,

I am hoping someone can help explain why having ridden a Cannondale Synapse Neo SE I am so disappointed with the performance of the Boardman ADV 8.9E that I have just purchased which has the Fazua Evation motor.

I test rode the Cannodale and loved how I could back off the power i put into the pedals and in turbo mode it would still pull me up the climbs. The Fazua is the opposite and I am aware that the system is designed like that.

1. So the Cannondale has a 500 watt battery the Fazua a 250 watt. Aside from how long before each charge is that more important than just that?
2. The Fazua has a higher torque than the bosch, so it will accelerate quicker

There is obviously, something much more important that I have missed between the 2 systems. Does the Bosch provide many more watts to the motor?

Any info would be appreciated as it looks like I am going to have to sell the Boardman as my commute is very hilly and I still arrive at work feeling quite tired. Just for reference, I am a life long cyclist who does around 3-5k miles / year and wouldn't consider myself unfit.

Thanks
