Spend the $900 and get the e+1, regardless of hub it'll still be under warranty and a much better spec'd bike.Newbie here, post kind of related to the freehub issue....looking to purchase first e bike and looking for a bit of advise. I'm looking at the trance e 3 pro XL. I'd say im an intermediate rider and ride blue trails. Is this ok for my level or is the e1 better for me? I have the option of the trance 3 with a new steel freehub installed for 5.4k from a local Giant shop (they are replacing them on new L and XL bikes, although I don't know if they would have if I didn't know about it from this forum) or one without the new freebub for 4.5k from torpedo 7. The question is do I pay the extra $900 for piece of mind and support the local shop or just get it as cheap as possible and go thought the hassle of the freehub issue if it occurs. Guess Im also asking how common is the issue
