Love the mileage and updates, nice work!! As far as your concerns for longevity moving forward, Bosch is a longstanding German company and what I mean by that is they're going to support the Gen 2 product for a long time. Sure you might not have the same display available (Purion) but there are...

Try the stock Specialized Como bars from the older bikes, they're great. Otherwise FSA has a Metropolis bar that's got a good sweep.

Having worked with over 20 brands, they just don't sell as it's a very limited marketplace. The folks that "think" they want a fat tire bike don't want to spend over $2k so any manufacture that builds a product that's serviceable, won't bother understandably. It's a void for sure, but other than...

Hell no they don't, there's been more and more e-bikes out there which is great to see. Anytime someone rolls up on an e bike I hop on the wheel, best draft out there!!

Really? I was talking with our rep recently and the ETA's are way sooner than that. What color and frame size/style did you get? Gonna do RAGBRAI??

The 6a charger isn't available in the US

We sell both Cannondale and Gazelle and I've had hands on more than a few Verve's. There's 2 different Gazelle C380's, the $4999 is the new Smartsystem version with a larger battery and more powerful motor (even though they have the same name) than the Trek Verve 4+. Also worth noting the belt...

Never ridden an Ubco, at that point I'll just throw a leg over the KTM ;)

Yuba Spicy Curry Speed is another class 3 cargo bike, also there's some deals out there with R&M bikes, Multicharger and Load models specifically! I've seen and ridden the Globe, it's fine for the price point but in cargo land I think mid drive bikes are the way to go IMO!

I rock a set of studs for winter comutting, the Como would work great with some 45nrth or Schwalbe Ice Spiker's. Studded tires aren't cheap but they last a really long time in my experience. Yep, love the Tern, just wish it was a class 3. Excited to try the new gen 2 HSD S11 with the more...

C'mon man, you know who to ask for these questions ;) I rode a Tern GSD the last couple years, incredible bike and very small footprint from a storage point of view. Tows trailers just fine and the passenger capability is great for date night! Front loaders are the best as the weight is...

60% pedal assist and an average speed of 12mph is making that drive unit do some heavy lifting. What's your cadence? Also it's been in the high 40f temps in your neck of the woods, that's pretty cold. I imagine appropriate clothing too, which isn't aerodynamic at all, and at an upright riding...

Again, apples to oranges comparing two completely different pedal assist systems, conditions, etc. They're not inflated numbers, they're under "ideal conditions" which can mean testing the bike on a treadmill to see just how much range the system can provide.

Same. Range is quite the fickle one, IGH and belt drive definitely have a negative effect on range but offer quite a bit of convenience for users. Comparing two completely different e-bikes on range is a waste of time.

HSD and GSD pics, the HSD is a shortened version of the GSD. Single battery, less cargo capability, but smaller footprint overall.
