Me too. I am thinking of going from my Rise to either the Shuttle Sl or the Fuel EXe or the (imaginary) new Levo SL If they increased the power.
I like the Fuel with the TQ except that it is slightly less power than the Shuttle SL with the Fazua.
That is what it looked like re: the specs. I just wanted a real world comparison. I agree with you about the EP8. Trek would only let the TQ tested out in the parking lot so not much of an experience--but it was totally quiet and smoother. I don't want full power but I just don't want less...
