That's pretty cool. Front chain ring is surprisingly small. Handles and seat are on a doable angle too.

Haha...

At least you now know what your ESentier frame will look like with the 630wh battery now

Not really.
with 29x2.5 38Tx11gearing @ cadence of 90rpm is 27mph

I used to commute on my ESentier with 27.5x 2.2 slicks and a 38T ring and 11-25 cassette and never spun out before the motor hit the assistance limit. (it was derestricted to 32mph). The Shimano motors assistance drops off considerably by 120rpm which just so happened to be right around 32mph on that bike in 38x11.
On my commute there's a long road descent where I always hit 40mph+ whether I'm riding an Eeb, normal roadbike or normal mtb. By 32mph on a descent it's faster to just tuck.

On a heavy gravel bike with huge 2.6" tyres you'd have to be a pretty poor rider.

I still have (and love) my Cairn Adventure 01. Great bike and the support from them is sensational. If I was looking for another gravel bike Cairn would be at the top of my list.
