I would avoid Nuvinci like the plague!!
I think they’re nothing but trouble. Maybe vince has been lucky.. or maybe it’s just user error :)
In regards to pedalling without assist, it is noticeably more difficult with Nuvinci, compared to rohloff which we’ve converted all the bikes to. Think the extra drag must have an impact on battery life too.
Also, it’s much easier to cruise above the assisted speed limit with the rohloff hub, which would also be battery friendly.
