One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is that high inertia feels like riding on a flat while low inertia feels like climbing.Inertia plays a role, but there are two other huge factors...
One is that the system is moving a lot faster. So, the samples are happening faster and the feedback loop and ability to respond is different.
But the bigger factor is the braking force. At low speed, the braking force is 2x to 3x greater. So, slight variations in input power would feel very different against the higher resistance.
Combine the two, and you have a totally different feel.
