eBike technology explained

Hey everyone!

Just got back from an awesome trail ride on my full-suspension eMTB, tackling some pretty gnarly climbs that would've been impossible without the assist. It got me thinking about all the cool tech packed into these bikes. Specifically, I'm curious about the different motor technologies – what are the real-world pros and cons of mid-drive vs. hub motors for serious mountain biking, especially when it comes to torque sensing and power delivery on steep, technical ascents? I've heard mid-drives are better for balance and climbing, but I'd love to hear some deeper insights from those who've ridden both extensively on trails!
