Help with ebike choice

[Dallant]

Maybe I messed up the thread? But if you are asking me about the battery - I can only guess,maybe 100 charges to full? Although I’m trying to avoid that because I gather charging to 80% can extend battery life-

I was asking indianajo.

How many full charges on your battery?

Full 100 % charges, about 15. Three years, once a month warm weather.
85-95% charges, 200. Twice a week 30 weeks warm weather, a few more early spring & late fall. None in winter. So far no problems.

I figure by the time I reach the Bosch Powertube’s 500 full charge warranty, I’ll have at least one other battery or one other ebike.

Dallant, thanks for the advise and comments on the Allant+7. Can you tell me if there is a problem with getting a greasy pant leg because the bike does not have a real chain guard!
Thanks to everyone else for their comments.
We live in Victoria BC and the Trek dealer and the Cube dealer are both in the same store. So I may get a Cube Kathamandu for me and a Trek Allant+7 for my wife.
So far the store still has not received stock in both of these bikes so we have to wait to try out the Cube.
Thanks again

I must have the real chain guard because I’ve never gotten grease on my pant leg. I keep the chain pretty clean and use dry lube. Best of luck!
