    2021 Roam E+ GTS

    I have the explorer with the Life motor. you really don't need anything more for pavement or rail trail type terrain. i am currently averaging 19mph with 34 mph top end. It is not like comparing a 6cyl Mustang to a GT. i would suggest you ride both then make up your mind.

    Help choosing step-through -- Moustache Lundi 7.1 or Specialized Turbo Como 3.0?

    IMHO I think you need to consider support and maintenance. IF you are only going to be riding near your LBS that you bought the Mustache from then its not a big deal. But if you go a wandering the odds of finding a Mustache bike shop my be fairly difficult vs a Specialized dealer. Also...
