Mahle X20 System experience?

[nsfbr]

Hi - I just joined the forum, about to pull the trigger on my first e-assist road bike. It's the usual story, I'm a roadie who just crested 60 and don't have enough time to maintain enough fitness to do the rides I want to do without a bit of help, etc. I bought my wife a Topstone NEO 2 last year, with the X35 and it is nice enough (although quite a heavy bike) for her, but I am looking for something on par with my bikes.

I've been reading a bunch on the new Mahle X20 system, which is supposedly exactly what I want - zero drag, bottom bracket torque and cadence sensor to control motor (and I think? an inclination meter as well, but not 100% sure), and very tailorable assist profile.

Anyway, the reason for the post is, first, as stated - I'm looking for any feedback / first hand knowledge of this system. And second, in the very unlikely case anyone has any thoughts on the bike I am likely to plunk down some case on Scott Addict RC eRIDE 10 I would love to get your insights and opinions. My current main ride is also a Scott, a 2017 Solace 10 with 11 Spd Di2. Great bike, and I'll continue to ride it, which is in part why I'm strongly thinking about the eRIDE Addict, which has geometry that is essentially the same.

Thanks for reading.

The X20 is fairly new, so not many users to date.
I have an X35 and wish it had the torque sensing option.

Orbea - the brand of ebike I ride, just upgraded all their Gain models to X20.
Good luck.

I was told if you pedal reverse the torque will disengage

Why not start with a conversion of your current road bike? You already and the fit right, add a 350w-500w mid drive system should put you where you want without breaking the bank even if you hire someone to do it for you. You didn't say where you are located so I have no recommendation for you as to where to look for help doing a conversion.

Hi I have a scott ebike with x35 and just bought a scott ebike 10 with x20 . Just been out once on x20 bike and did 50 miles. I can confirm bikes weigh much the same but the big difference is there is the zero drag and I cycled about 70%with battery off and under and over the 15.5 mph cut off. I usually do 50 miles on x35 on 25% battery on level 1 and obviously a lot over the 15.5mph and used 40% battery same distance on x20 but with 70% with no battery although it did show a limit of 85 mile radius left. But they apparently learn how you cycle/ use battery so will see how it goes. Level 1 was also v powerful so will need to dumb it down which you can now do. First impressions is I like it...but time will tell.
