Haha, I have never used Boost ( Vitus esommet VR )and only used Trail 4/5 times in a few months, it's like riding a motorbike in Trail mode, incredible assist, last time I had a group of bullocks, yes bullocks, running up the field towards me, I nearly went for boost but got to the gate in time, completely knackered and scared sh##less.

Eco mode is for people who do not want to enjoy the full benefits of an EMTB. They have a guilt complex still from being brainwashed by acoustic bike freaks...lol.
People who perpetually stay in Boost and Trail modes are weak and can't ride very far.

Well, I didn't buy an emtb to screw around. I dig emtb mode. If I didn't want the boost, I wouldn't have bought an ebike.
See, it's kind of like having a smoking hot wife and never having sex with her. I mean...what's the point???

Eco (15/45) if I can help it.
Trail (25/75) if:
Trail (25/75) if:
- I'm having a bad breathing day...
- I'm on a totally unknown route (i.e. reserving meat energy)...
- I can't dictate my own pace, and have to keep pace/separation with somebody else.
- I'm on the road and therefore reducing my speed differential with cars...
- I'm injured/sick and trying to hurry back...
- Blown-up on a wall I couldn't have made on a nonelectric MTB even back in my best days.

Well, your description is more akin to taking her to the local sex club and running trains on her every weekend. At that point it's kinda not really sex in the conventional sense anymore (it's definitely progressed into something else)... and there will be downsides.

Uhhhh, what? No. My description is akin (cool word btw) to having something friggin awesome and never using it. You know, like having a 10,000hp dragster and driving it to church every Sunday never going over 30mph. OR...having an emtb and never using anything but eco mode.
I'm more interested in your smoking hot wife ..are things good with you two ..?

I like it for "regular" bike feel. As a conditioning tool. I set my Eco to 10%. It's enough to make up for the extra weight and drag of the soft tires. That way the effort is similar my XC hardtail.
Then why don't you just ride your XC hardtail ...I just don't get why folks buy ebikes and then want them to "feel" like a normal mtb ...nuts !
I'll swap you for my Whyte 905.

There are millions of people who like things you don't. It's a crazy world out there.
