Collected today from the bike shop and have only zipped about the back of my house for half an hour.
In a word.
“wow”.
I had no idea they had the kick that they do, even in emtb mode.
First impressions are very good.
a couple of things I need to get used to: the cut off of the motor at 16mph. It does feel like the brakes are applied slightly. Easy to hit that on a road/pavement but likely not that noticeable on a proper ride I imagine.
Also the weight will take time to get used to. Not for riding but just for manhandling the bike around the place. For example I regularly grab to bars and pull my bike onto its back wheel to navigate past my car on the driveway. Doing the same with this bike is obviously a lot trickier than a a 26” wheel hardtail ?.
But what a bike!!
