eBike technology explained

Hey everyone!

I've been riding my eMTB for about a year now, mostly hitting local trails and some longer weekend rides, and I'm still fascinated by how these things work. Sometimes I find myself looking at specs – motor torque, battery Wh, controller types – and realizing I only have a surface-level understanding.

I'd love to kick off a discussion about "eBike technology explained." What are some of the key components or tech terms that you found most confusing when you started, or that you think are crucial for new riders to understand? Are there any specific advancements you're particularly excited about or want to demystify? Let's dive in!
