The 2020 UK line up are the 3.0 a 4.0 with the main difference being a bigger battery for longer distance. There are a few older models around. I think the main reason for this is the UK classification and that it is classed as an e-cycle. Accordingly Specialized will not garner sales in any...

It has a light switch that can be attached to a horn but is not a UK requirement due to its cycle rating. Additionally there is no number plate and for the UK market a LCD light in the mudguard. The 5 was replaced in the 2020 line up with the 4.0. I’m not sure why!

I haven’t bought either yet so am going on advice. Hopefully someone will advise!

Thanks for the link that’s really useful!
