Anyone who owns a bicycle can use the Asus Oxiis E250G1 Intelligent Bike Booster to transform it into an e-bike in just a few simple steps. Equipped with a cadence sensor, it is designed to respond just as quickly as a conventional e-bike, and can be charged via a USB-C charger.
Not an expert either, but I’m assuming the friction between this thing and the tire, is less than between the tire and road. The roughness of the contact may also play a role? It’s surely wear faster, but probably not twice as fast.
In any case, for people not using their bike because it’s not electrified, this may be the only reason the treads get any wear at all, which in my book is better.
