Sparky: Have you been happy upgrading to the class 3 motor (Allant)? Why did you want the class 3 motor: to keep up with other riders?
The Verve+3 is a class 1 and wondering if I would be happier with a class 3 (Giant Explore E+2) in the long run.
Latitude: Did you install the Redshift ShockStop System (stem and seatpost)? Have you been happy with the Redshift system? I probably would add the ShockStop Stem if I purchase the Verve+3 because there is no front shock on the Verve+3.
Thanks for the information. The gravel I'll ride on is mostly crushed so the Verve+3 should be able to handle that ok. I found the Verve very comfortable during my test ride. I haven't ridden the Giant Explore yet.
Interested to hear from owners of either e-bike. Opinions, recommendations, pros and cons. Any downside to having a class 3 e-bike? Will be doing 90% paved and 10% gravel riding. Thank you.
