eMTB handling?

So how well do bikes this heavy tend to handle for downhill, climbing, tight banked turns, jumps and drops, etc?

IYKYK. It's when the weight balance is radically different from a regular MTB and you go between them. I almost killed myself on a big drop on my first eMTB (KTM Macina) because it was soooo nose heavy. Levo was bit better but still , Rise was good, and Amflow is good. Can be quite butt puckering when the front of the bike dives in off a jump!

Yea this was what I was most worried about, the motor at the BB area is on the center of gravity but that battery in the down tube frame definitely biases the front end.
