Hi all, thanks for the add. Inwas wondering if i could get some help on my first bike. Here is what I've gotten narrowed down to....
1. Used 2017 trek powerfly fs 8 @2500.00
2. Used 2017 raleigh tokul ie @ 1750.00
3. New 2017 izip peak ds @ 2500.00
4. Used 2017 specialized turbo levo w/2018 upgrades @ 3000.00
I do alot of trails, medium trail hill climbing, mild downhill. Mostly singletrack. Thanks for all the help in advance.

I do not know them all. Generaly i think traction is important. I did a bit more than 3,000 kms on my Ebike and with 40 mm rims and + tires i feel very well equipped.

Well did you pull the trigger? I road the Tokul you speak of in S.F. streets and hills, only for a few miles and decided I needed full suspension and better brakes. I ended up with a 2018 Raleigh Kodiak which is the same thing as the Izip DS I discovered. I’m happy for the money I spent, $1800 “used” but with only one mile.
