Some good, some bad.
"This is an awesome bike; tons of power to make it up hills even with cargo, great top speed (60km/h under power on flat ground), and very comfortable to ride. Hydraulic disc brakes work very well, especially with such large wheels. The rear rack has lots of mouting points for tying down cargo, and the dual battery setup provides more range than I would ever use in a day. I never have to think about it or worry if I'll have the capacity to make it home. The second battery can also be switched off with a physical switch near the top corner while installed on the bike. This lets you keep it in reserve for when you actually want extra range. This is a pretty tall bike at 30" from ground to seat tube lock lever. I'm 5'11" and have the seat about 1' above the lowest position. I really like how adjustable the handle bars are, lots of options to make the ride comfortable; though I may replace the seat as it's a bit stiffer than I'd like. The display is nothing special. It does what it should, but doesn't have a ton of configurability. It will always default to trip distance when powered on, instead of remembering what data type you'd displayed last. There's no locking function; so anyone can walk up, turn it on, and run the motor. There is also no battery % option, charge bars only. So far the distance to go is always '0 km'. I presume I just haven't put enough distance on it for it to know the battery capacity/avg wh per km? Not really sure. I'm probably going to replace that with an eggrider tbh. The bad: Out of the box, the rear derailer and derailer guard were both VERY out of adjustment. I didn't check it before going on my first ride (it was not mentioned in the manual or setup instructions) and ended up breaking the chain in the first 17km. Luckily I had prepared and packed a chain breaker in my bag. Got it back together and home in just a few minutes of sitting on the side of the road. Both limit screws were too loose and the indexing was too tight, causing the chain to rub on the next largest cogwheel in most gears. The derailer guard was too low, rubbing on the upper edge of the derailer pivot, wearing it's paint off and leaving exposed metal, while preventing it from moving smoothly. For almost $3k, I would have expected that to be tuned better from the factory. . . After properly adjusting those, it rides much smoother, shifting properly with very little noise. It is a little tricky trying to shift without applying power, given the cadence based pedal assist. Definitely some learning to do there. I am a little disappointed in the rear light: it only functions as a tail light, not as a brake light. It also has its power cable poorly installed/protected. The outer sheath is stripped back, then the positive and negative wires enter the back of the light in two separate holes, instead of the whole cable entering and being stripped back inside like the headlight. Not great design there. Careful installing the front mud guard: I had initially installed it with the top mounting point behind the forks instead of between the light and forks. This makes the lower arms seem to short, rubbing the guard on the wheel. Installed correctly; it does fit, but with a pretty close tolerance. Perhaps those arms could be 1/4 inch longer."
