OP here. I know this is going to sound crazy, but I'm debating between the BH Nitro City Pro and the Stromer ST2.
$1800 for the Evo, $3500 for the Stromer. Both are a great deal compared to typical pricing. It seems like I could go for the Stromer and if I don't like it, maybe still come out...
I rode the Yamaha Cross Connect today. It just didn't quite do it for me. The power dropout as I got to 20mph just doesn't seem like what I'm looking for on my commute. Definitely needs to be a 28mph/Class 3.
Also - I'm going to test ride some mid-drives and see how they compare to my prior hub experience. I know there are volumes written on this, but hard to really tell without feeling it.
I had a Juiced CCS that was stolen. I loved the bike - when it worked correctly. But I had a frequent (though intermittent) problem with it throwing an error that I hadn't come to resolution on and the motor would stop working. There's nothing that puts a bigger drag on a day than losing power...

I'd like to keep my skin on my face and keep my jaw from breaking if I fall at 30+ mph.
Well, the CCS no longer being restocked settled the question with which Juiced model. Now it's a question of whether to jump ship to another brand or hope the CCX issues have all been resolved. I just want a trouble free, fast commute.
Long story, but my CCS 52V version (that they offered for a short period) was stolen from my garage.
I was having Error 8 issues with it before it was stolen, so if there's any silver lining to it being stolen, the thief now has to figure that annoying issue himself ;)
My debate now is whether...
I searched the forum and couldn't find anyone with this kind of problem, specifically not the Error 8.
I got my bike late last summer as a commuter. It's about 12 miles to work, we have a bike room at work, so it's perfect.
After a week or so of riding, I got an Error 8 and a loud noise from...
