EP8 vs 6100 for an eBullitt - what's the consensus here?

I just bought mine last month.

I read all the stuff about different riding style and it made sense, although I can believe they would over-state it for marketing purposes. And I spoke to the dealer and he said that, unless you rode both one after the other, you wouldn't really notice the difference. I went for the 6100, but mainly because of what was in stock in the colour and gearing I wanted, and it was a bit cheaper.

He's got two customers in Newcastle, one with each type, who both work in the bike industry. He's going to do a comparison video with them.

I'm loving it so far!

It's got three levels. I mainly use it in low (Eco) mode, or with assistance off. For a short hill like a railway bridge it's great to be able to put it up to medium or high and hardly drop any speed!

On the flat, if I'm pedalling hard, I'm around 25 kmh: the motor gets me up to that speed but then stops assisting so the type makes no difference. If my speed drops, the assistance kicks in again but only until I'm back up to speed. Great fun to push it through corners and tilt it over.

I guess the EP8 might make more difference if I didn't want to pedal hard or was in a hillier area and needed the motor to do more work.
