    for whatever reason

    I have one and the whatever reason is that the engine is always connected to the wheels, even when not running, which creates friction and makes it almost impossible to move even on the slightest upwards slope.

      that’s one very severe reason, but there’s also stuff like being heavy or having huge fat tyres that add a shitload of friction.
      I just want to highlight that you should make sure the bike works fine with things turned off and the battery inserted, so you don’t have to worry about being completely stranded if you run out of juice.
