It wasn't until I read all of this, that I realized how much the throttle option means to me for the purchase. My only reason for even looking at ebikes is my daily commute to work, and point blank, there are days I'm tired and don't want to pedal. Throttle of at least 18-20mph is a requirement for my pick.
Keeping everything else people have said in mind, I'd love to get a HF1000 (With upgrades there's front fork suspension, hydraulic breaks, torque sensor, huge battery (21ah), the ability to go road legal at 20mph or jack that up to 30). I still don't love the idea of waiting 2 months to get the bike though, and even then, as stated, I'd like to see reviews of how it's worked for people.
With this mindset, I looked back at the other bikes that had interested me. RadRover is slowly moving down the list. I could get a bigger battery that would increase amp hours, but that's an additional $500-600 cost, and it lacks nice hydraulic breaks.
This brings me back to the M2S All Terrain R750 and Teo S Limited, giving the suspension, 17ah battery, hydraulic brakes, street legal 20 and off road modes. Like the HF, these two give me almost all the options I want, except that none of these offer a torque sensor. Are there options, such as the rear dropout torque sensor offered by Juiced Bikes available that work with something like a Rad Rover, R750, or Teo? Am I locked out of being able to use a torque sensor getting one of these? Are there any similar bikes (even expanding the budget to around $3k) that offer these options, but are available now instead of having to wait another 1-3 months? I would also look at mid-drive or BBSHD options, but most I had seen are Class 1 and don't offer throttle.
