Relatively narrow range and quite draggy which is why they are almost exclusively fitted to ebikes.
The drag still matters because it reduces the battery range in comparison to the same ebike with a derailer.
I found using one an odd experience, but I suppose you might get used to it.
Altering the ratio on the twist grip was hard work, and the drag made it feel like riding the bike through treacle, even with the motor.

How many gears did your have I was looking at ebikes with only 5gears not enough around here I need 8.Relatively narrow range and quite draggy which is why they are almost exclusively fitted to ebikes.

Ok thanks baffling to the layman .Two problems with this statement.
The Enviolo hub is a constantly variable transmission, first widely seen in the little Daf Variomatic cars.
It doesn't have ratios in the way most other transmissions do.
More importantly, it's the range of the gears - not the number - which determines suitability for terrain.
Generally, the more gears a traditional hub has, the greater the range will be, but that's not always the case.
The range of the Enviolo hub is 380%, which is why they call it the Enviolo 380.
Better than earlier versions, but still not huge.
For example, a Rohloff hub is about 565%, which is equivalent to the widest traditional derailer gearing, a mountain triple - three rings on the front and about 10 on the back.
