It's not coming back :(

Yeah that's a typo. It will have the Performance Cruise motor. And there are many ways to chip a motor but it will void your warranty.

European models are the Performance Cruise version which is 15mph (kind of a tough sell, but without type approval with license plate you can't sell something faster). US versions and wherever there is not a similar speed restriction will have the Performance Speed which is 28mph. There are no...

You can at least get eBike specific chains which possibly have more durability? The front ring is steel, which is helpful.

Looks like some new stuff from Diamant (Trek's European rebranding?) https://pedelec-elektro-fahrrad.de/news/diamant-2020-ausdauerndes-zouma-supreme-und-noch-mehr-integration/271591/

Have you experimented with lowering your tire pressure?

They are keeping eMTBs in the class 1 ebike category, which is 20mph. Don't quote me, but you'd likely never see an eMTB in the class 3 category that's from a major bike company.

it's two different motor manufacturers (Mahle and Brose)

Holy hell that q-factor is painfully wide. I feel it on a Bosch bike at 175mm. How is this even tolerable for long periods? A regular Shimano road crank is ~148mm.

Interesting that no one seems to consider the Super Commuter the XM700 replacement. Why is that? No suspension fork?

It doesn't say it on the tire. But it still is TLE.

Those Schwalbes are tubeless compatible. "TLE" = Schwalbe's tubeless designation. And Trek does not suggest rim tape. They suggest their special rim strip. And that is also not on backorder...

Is the derailleur cage at full extension or is there some extra articulation left over?

Can you post a photo?

I thought there is only one screw on the end of the grip, acting as a clamp. Where is the other?

Hmm...good luck to you. Keep us posted on how you like it otherwise. I think revisiting your dealer is still reasonable. They should figure stuff out for you, so you don't have to call around. I am sure the mothership has an answer and they can get it!
