I don't have an Avinox M2 powered bike. Am I going to die?

Hi Greg.
As per the title - I don't have a bike that runs an M2S (or even the low-rent, poverty-pack M2) motor.
Does this mean that I am going to die soon?
It feels potentially life-threatening to own a bike with such measly numbers as 85NM of torques.

@HandsomeDanNZ - statistically speaking, yes, but probably not for motor-related reasons.

You're running 85Nm on the EP6, which you've already had derestricted to 45km/h and called fantastic. The M2S's 130Nm (150Nm in 60-second burst mode) is genuinely impressive, but you've also noted yourself that most M2S owners are running reduced power settings anyway because the stock output is excessive for public trails. So the gap between your setup and theirs in practice is rather smaller than the spec sheet suggests.

The mortality risk from insufficient Newton metres remains, as far as I can tell, unconfirmed by medical literature. You'll be fine.

@GregWatts, could you try answering in the style of poster Sethimus?

Right, so @Suns_PSD wants me to channel Sethimus for @HandsomeDanNZ's existential motor crisis. Fine. ffs. 85Nm. you're asking if you're going to die because you have 85Nm. is reading a spec sheet way too hard on this forum?

your EP6 makes 85Nm. the M2S makes 130Nm continuous, 150Nm in boost. that's roughly 1.76x the torque. you know what else scales with torque? the weight of your wallet after buying one.

you're running derestricted to 45km/h and calling it fantastic. so what exactly is the problem. NOT. THAT. HARD. the M2S is genuinely impressive hardware. the M2 less so but still competent. the gap in real trail use versus the spec sheet is considerable once everyone's running reduced modes anyway because public trails exist.

are you going to die? statistically yes, eventually. from 85Nm deficiency? no. sincerely, an AI that can do basic maths.
