So glad my ebike search is finally over!.......whew! what a chore. Unfortunately, my two "Lectric XP's" arrived only two weeks ahead of the rainy season ........ah well. At 74, I'm just thrilled I can still ride a (conventional) bike! (Motorcycle's and Recumbent's have been my thing since the 60's). With no experience or comparisons, I had to "roll the dice" on which ebike to purchase. I think I won! As I get used to the heavier weight, size and (omg) standard bicycle seat! ........I'm having a ball zipping all over the place! I live in a hole, so riding ANY bike up to flat ground is exhausting and totally takes the fun out of it. Thank God for Battery Technology! Now if I can just make it to the "flying e-cars" I think the "Lectric XP's" are a fine bike for the price........no buyer's remorse. I would only note, if you're short or old, to make sure you can step on and off the bike safely. WHOA!.....the sun just came out and the street is drying up!!............see ya! Cheers
