Is that for their [generally] greater torque?

Incidentally, my dual 500W hub drive e-cumbent performs amazingly well on steep unpaved surfaces, though as it lacks suspension have not yet dared test it on challenging single track. Climbs stairs like nothing but that’s in Walk mode without me sitting in it. FWD like Swytch probably helpful for that too but guess you’d still have to push the bike from the saddle to get the rear wheel up the steps, has anyone here tried that?
