eBike technology explained

Hey everyone!

I've been browsing some of the new e-bikes popping up in the marketplace lately, and it's got me thinking about how rapidly the tech is evolving. Specifically, I'm curious about motor types – hub vs. mid-drive – and what people really prefer for different riding styles, like commuting vs. trail riding. What are the key things you look for in the tech specs when you're considering a new e-bike purchase, beyond just battery size? Are there any specific innovations you're excited about or that have truly enhanced your riding experience?
