This ebike has had so many reviews and so much written about it that I won't bore you with my iteration of it. I wouldn't be a good evaluator anyway, not being a bicyclist. I don't have any references to judge it by. I have never even seen a really good bike, like a Trek or Specialized, let alone rode one. This whole ebike thing was not my idea anyway. It was my wife's. Honestly, I wanted a Honda Trail 125 to scoot around on but after being on a waiting list for over a year I gave up. As it turned out, my wife's research into ebikes and insistence on getting a couple has been a great thing. I hadn't thought about where I was going to ride that Honda other that the city streets. I can ride this XP 3.0 almost everywhere, streets, sidewalks, MUP's, etc. And the fun factor has been thru the roof! For an old geezer enjoying retirement, these ebikes have been a God send and we could have done a lot worse on our first ebike purchases.
