I have the Shimano:
Gear 1 ~ 1.5x
Gear 5 ~ 3.5x
Pedal cadence is a bit high for me tying to maintain anything over 23mph. Short bursts I can keep 26mph, but most comfortable in the 20mph range. I rarely have to drop down to Gear 1, usually from a stop even on a steep incline I find Gear 2 fine...

Thank you!

TL;DR:
I'm planning to start commuting by e-bike soon.
Waiting a few months for delivery of my Priority Current. (Online order)
Already considering another e-bike for my wife. (LBS)
Thanks for filling this forum with a wealth of information to empower my independent research!
Getting ready to...
Thanks for sharing your experiences @Achterbahn! I was leaning towards the Current before your experiences and now I have pre purchased for June delivery. Going to be a long 2 months but can't wait.
