Kudos to Steve for a very informative essay! Happy to see he is excited about silent speed thrills.
I was very pleased about the passages concerning lack of engine braking as this was a formost concern when I ordered my Empulse 10. Back when I was a young man(Stonehenge) I became pretty good about using that braking power on my local twisting mountain 2-lane routes I had to take.Serious penalties for blowing it, now that I look back on it.
