I know they aren't legal in the UK but getting up twisting muddy trails -- especially from a dead stop -- is the real utility of an ebike throttle. They save your knees. Some people use them to zip around without pedaling but I don't see the sense in that. Get an electric motorcycle if that's what you want to do. E-bike throttles are best at delivering a short burst of torque when you need to pull out of a rut and get across an intersection quickly or to avoid a car. This is especially true with heavier ebikes like cargo ebikes when they are loaded with groceries and kids.
