Hello,
I am new to my 2019 LEAF and new to the forum. I love them both!
I love the e pedal but think it makes the overall ride more bumpy. I think it the torque in the wheels as you drive and/or ease up on the accelerator causes the weight of the vehicle to push towards the front and causes the car to hit the bumps harder. I compare it to biking. When I hold on to my handlebars tightly and harden my muscles, the bumps reverberate more through my body. If I loosen my arms and muscles, the vibrations are absorbed better.
The free flowing coasting feel of the regular pedal seems smoother.
I would love to hear from anyone with a more scientific description to prove or disprove my thoughts. Thanks.
