Any thoughts/ advice on 2021/22 Kona 130 full-suspension e-mtb?

I am going to look at a 2021/22 Kona 130 full suspension emtb a little later, and I wanted to find out if anyone has any experience with this bike. I know the brand is going, well, tits up shortly, but that doesn't mean Kona didn't make good bikes. Anyone riding this one, have ridden before or know anything about this model?

Thanks in advance.

Don't buy an e-bike from the brand that went belly up. Who will service it or handle warranty claims? How about spare parts?

Even before I went for the test ride, I read up on the specs. Only 70nm of torque won't cut it for me. I can also get a newer, nicer bike for the same or less, and your point is a very good one.
