Electric VTC autonomy and assistance modes

Range varies according to weight carried (user + load), altitude difference and outside temperature.
Electric VTC motor: unleash the watts
How powerful is the motor on this electric VTC?
Its 36-volt brushless rear-wheel motor has a power rating of 250 Watts.
It develops a maximum motor torque of 42 Nm.
This value is used to assess the bike's ability to negotiate uneven terrain.
The motor is also coupled to a cadence sensor that provides electric assistance based on pedaling motion.
What is the purpose of the assistance sensor on an electric mountain bike?
On an electric VTC, the sensor triggers the assistance.
On the RS 100E, an ultra-reactive cadence sensor (24 magnets) provides smooth, fluid assistance.
Bonus info: the higher the number of magnets, the more responsive and therefore smoother the assistance.
