I have yet to ride with someone on an e-bike where they are riding a 'consistent' speed. They seem to be lurching often when they 'punch the gas'. Yes I know that 'consistent' is a relative term when it comes to hills, wind, other riders, etc. But I must confess, it's not a pleasant ride with this going on. For those of you who ride e-bikes, do they all lurch, or is it just the people I ride with???
