I get the part about the internal shorting of an individual cell.

OK, if that's true, then let's consider a battery that is fully charged - to say 48v, 100%.
Now you ride it and get it down to 50 % remaining. The voltage is something less than 48 volts. With me so far ?
So new explain why, even at 50 % indicated battery capacty - or 25% for that matter - the bike is really no slower than it was at 100%
if the current draw from the battery does not change with regard to voltage, then you have either violated ohm's law or the laws of physics.
explain !
