This is what i've done on my ebike and I've missed nothing from 12 speed and it does seem to last a lot longer (while being cheaper too!).
Win win

@Bro-LanDog: I can't lift my dirt bike or truck and yet both are perfect for the forest.

What does that really mean?
It means you may need to run a shorter dropper than a bike with a shorter seat tube. Rephrased, the seat on these doesn't go as low as bikes with shorter top tubes. The large is 455mm and typically you'd see 420-435mm for a similary sized bike.
If you're all torso like I am, it means the OEM dropper is too long and you'll need to immediately replace it with a shorter one (or one with less stack) or shim it shorter.

I propose changing 'Gritt' to 'Abrasion' - does that work better?

If you can't lift 50lbs, especially into older age, you should seriously consider doing some weight training. The benefits of extra muscle on healthy aging can't really be overstated.

I typically ride my ebike at resorts where you can down-shuttle on a chairlift. I take the gravel climbing road up with turbo mode and then at the top you just hop on the lift. Its great since there's never a line to go down.
