Definitely not a bad choice but I'd suggest you also look at Turbo Vado/Turbo Como...should be just as easy to find locally. Compare and see which one is best for you.

I’m curious- does anyone know if the Verve 3 is class 1 or class 3? No reviews of it yet and can’t tell from the Trek site. My LBS sells both...I didn’t really consider the Trek due to the killer deal that Specialized was offering last month on the Vado and Como 4.0’s.

Probably best to think about where you are likely to ride. Where I live there are very few, if any, regulated areas.

Also....is the Verve+ 3 a Class 1? I'd recommend a Class 3 like the Specialized. If Class doesn't matter to you, or if you prefer a Class 1, the Verve does look nice.

Take a look at the Specialized Turbo Como as well.

I second (or third!) the suggestion of the Pedego. It seems to meet your criteria well. I will also agree with @Martinet above that Pedego is a bit expensive given its componentry and non-integrated battery. What you are getting for the price, instead, is a strong, dedicated and very helpful...

My Adventure is quite old (maybe 10 years) but I really like it. Not sure if the geometry is the same as yours but it is more upright and less forward than the Vado. The Como sits more like the Adventure. If you don’t need (or want) class 3, then the Como or Vado 2.0 is worth looking at, and is...

The nearest Aventon dealer to me was 2 states away....the Specialized is 3 miles from my house. :)

Heard from my LBS this AM- bike was ordered from Specialized on Monday AM and 'hopefully' will arrive to them by Friday and they will 'hopefully' have time to prep it for Saturday pick up. That is a lot of 'hoping' so I won't count on it but there is at least a possibility that I will have it...

My current bike is also a Cannondale Adventure 1. I looked at a lot of eBikes (mostly online, at least at first) and then concluded that while there were some impressive internet bikes at great prices (Aventon Level, Rad City, etc.) that I really wanted/needed local support. In addition to the...

I like the logic and approach that you used. I looked hard at bikes like Aventon but dealers that support eBikes are very hard to find near me unless they sell them---which mostly left me with Specialized, Trek, Giant and Pedego. I had set a budget similar to yours ($2000) but ended up 'upping...

I’d strongly consider RAD at your budget and if I lived in Seattle. Great bikes for the $$

It’s also in a @Court ’s review, as I recall

I think the biggest difference is that the Giant is a class 1 bike whereas the others are class 3.

Order a Turbo Vado today before the rebate ends. It is a screaming deal for a bike of this quality build, LBS support and components. I had researched bikes to death and when I found out about this (effective) 30% discount, I jumped in. I also liked the Allant but the price difference was huge.

Ordered: Turbo Vado 4.0, High Step, Dove Gray/Black/Liquid Silver Looking forward to delivery!

I don't expect that I'd need any more than that, if that.

Thank you Chris.....I may reach out to you. I will have my bike (and key card) in a week or so. My concern is how to get the 4960 to fit on the Vado 4.0 frame. I don't have a lot of confidence in my mechanical ability to custom fit it. Will see if my LBS can install for me. If not, maybe I make...

I am COMPLETELY un-handy and really don't want anything that requires me to do anything to customize the bike to accommodate the lock. Surely that has to be something out there that works off the shelf?
