EasyMotion Xenion Cross vs. Felt SPORTe

[Cbehba]

Looking for an ebike to commute around town and to/from school/work. Commute is about 10 miles each way.

These are pretty similar bikes and I was wondering if anyone's had experience with both? If so, which would you prefer over the other?

I would say Xenion Cross. You get 5 year warranty on the bike (except the battery) and it has a front suspension. It's almost a hybrid bike.
At our shop, we have put Big Ben tires, racks and fenders on all the Xenion Cross bikes. Now, it's a great commuter bike.

I see. Would you say that they feel pretty similar when riding?
I can't test ride the Xenion because no stores have it here, but they all have the SPORTe.

One store has this deal right now. $2,799 for the SPORTe 2015 model.

Think it's a good deal? Or will prices probably drop down to that level again?
