This is great bike for a new female or smaller male rider, very light yet the frame appears to be strong and well made with quality welding evident. The lower cross bar is just the ticket for smaller riders and isn't so low that most people would instantly identify it as a girls bike.
The standard Schwalbe Marathon Mondial, 42-622 are a great street tire but are severely lacking for all but the smoothest dirt trails. The Bosch motor is powerful and the 400 watt hour battery adequate for a decent ride.
I paid $1700 for a brand new one off of craigslist and it seems to be a bargain for a Bosch mid drive, probably the lightest one you can find. The boss sure loves it and we have great fun tooling around the beach on "Suck it you British Overlords" day.
With the addition of Bontrager XR3 29 x 2.20 tires (tyres?) it totally transforms the bike from a cool street bike to a light mountain bike!
