if your worried about downshifting, just shift it into a lower gear for a hill. or just pin the throttle and its solved


the downshift delay is usually too long and causes a bogging issue

better yet GET A BIKE!

no thanks.. i'd rather not get run over by surjiit singh in his gravel truck that hasn't touched his brake slack adjusters in months.
