Shimano steps e8000
A very quick question. Does the Shimano steps e8000 system have any resistance (other than weight) when pedalling at over 25km/h? I've done a bit of research and have found contradictory answers.

We’ve got two, on Scott Axis erides - lovely set up, and no resistance when you go over the assisted speed. I think people who say there is resistance are simply noticing the lack of assistance! 
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

We have one on our Hase Pino tandem and I've one on my ICE Sprint trike. No resistance from the motor over the cut-off speed (15.5 mph or thereabouts i.e. 25 kph). Plenty of resistance from the wind though.
