And no I'm not in love with it - I have not ridden it yet. And I'm actually horrible at making decisions.

I'd say wait for the Black Friday. Then have a look at Specialized, too. Even if it sounds silly to buy an e-bike in the cold season, trust me, buying one in the Spring is a pure madness!

Your decision-making would get a lot easier if you tested the bikes first — especially under the conditions you'll be riding. Bikes are a good bit more than their specs.

I stand corrected - the Trek has the Performance Line Smart System (75 torque) - all other specs do seem the same. I'm thinking that might be more helpful for hills, etc. but not sure how much of a difference I would notice between those two things?

It depends on the total weight, the terrain, your road speed, and fitness. Both are full power e-bikes. 50% more torque is a lot, but will you use it?
