But as someone who likes the feel of riding, might as well hop on q mpred and throttle around.

My understanding is this is not how the pedaling will work. The controller will adjust the magnetic resistance of the crank based on the ‘gear’ selection and grade of the road much like a smart trainer so the pedaling will feel like a normal chain driven bike except the resistance is generated electronically rather than by a physical gear ratio or force on a chain.
