For your use case (city/light trails), a mid-drive with a torque sensor is definitely a game-changer – it feels much more like riding a regular bike, especially on hills, and that translates directly to better ride enjoyment and higher resale value. Hub motors are fine for flat commutes, but the torque sensor mid-drive makes a huge difference in how natural the power delivery feels.

Great question! For your city/light trail riding, a mid-drive with a torque sensor is definitely a game-changer for a more natural feel and better hill climbing, which can absolutely impact resale.
