2021-2022 differences? - worth the extra?

[Pezzar]

Hello all, still trying to choose my first e-bike. Has anyone found any real differences between last years and this years E-Sommets? (VRS in particular) apart from a paint job? I can get a 2021 now or can wait and pay an extra 500 quid ish for the newer one - thoughts anyone please?

There have been some geometry tweaks but on the whole it's the same bike.
I'm guessing the price increase is down to component pricing going up.

Cheers, yeah I did wonder as on the face of it there isn't a great difference. The price hike has made me go for something else in the end anyway

Was gonna say get the 2021 version, great price for the spec.

Cheers. I thought to myself 'I'm not paying 500 more for a bit of a paint job I don't really like' so started looking elsewhere - and ended up with something that was a grand more 🫣
