Just wanted to say I am now a proud owner of a new Trek xm 700. I will post updates, thoughts and views once I begin the commuting trek later this week. I will use the bike for commuting to and from work about 30 mile round trip, starting early in the morning (5 am). I have been using a road bike, but late day and hot afternoons seem to wipe me out on the uphill trek home.
Looked at lots of e-bikes, and this forum (thanks court) helped sift out the pros and cons of the various models and options. Really was settled on a hub motor for a long time, tried several models, but when I saw the new XM 700 it just seemed to check all the boxes. Anyway, look forward to being part of this community and hope to add something worthwhile to the group.
Cheers, Corey
