I finally got time to assemble my Nero. This is a big machine. It is massive compared to my kids' e-bikes (pic below). It's only 20 pounds heavier than theirs but looks and handles larger in every way. It does ride well after you get used to the size and lack of nimbleness. I rode city streets up and down a 2 mile hill and it performed well. I also took it on a horse trail that was steep so I had to use full throttle just to get the bike moving. I need to get used to the weight and not stop on a steep incline as it get cumbersome to get back going. Slow is not good as on rougher terrain as the balance is tricky until the heavy Nero picks up some speed. I bought the premium Nero with the front rack and accessories. It has Tektro Aries mechanical brakes (I was hoping that they would upgrade it to the hydraulic brakes like on the current Nero) and an S-ride RD-M310 8 speed with rapid fire shifters. I installed the front light on the rack instead of on the fork. I think I will change the light to the fork that way the light beam turns with the wheel instead of inline with the rack. The light is fairly bright. I think it is more for dusk on city streets than full illumination. Nice, the rear light lights up when braking. The spoke reflectors are not intuitive as there does not seem to be a custom fit between spokes. I also have to figure out where to mount the rear reflector using the mounts given. There are no instructions for the reflector installation.
