Looking for suggestions on a 27.5 plus ebike

[WalkinTarget]

That is in fact the bike ! The vendor even offered me an upgrade to the FullNine 6.5 for the same price after knowing what I had gone through to get to this point. I didn't notice much difference from the 6.0 to the 6.5 other than the front shock, but I had by now fallen in love with that white/orange/black color scheme and the 6.5 is predominantly dark gray with black accents. Had it had some lime green tossed in, I would have taken that color combo instead.

Ravi, you read my mind !!! I'm here now looking for the owners manual/suspension setup guide, and you went and linked me up already. Many thanks yet again for your help.

My current bike lineup is quite sad, so a high end bike is something I am very unaccustomed to. My primary is a '96 Trek 850 rigid that is bone stock short of a Cloud 9 seat, and I bought a Genesis v2100 last year with the intention of converting it to an ebike if i didn't buy this bike. Luckily, I have a co-worker who used to work at an LBS (and built my Trek when i bought it new in '96 !!) and now JR, who is a wealth of info and good advice.

I saw that a dealer in Massachusetts might have one (Motorcycles 508), but I don't know what size.

As Tom Petty sang back in the early 80's 'The Waiting' is truly ... the hardest part. Still no acknowledgement on shipping from the etailer (it had to first be shipped from Ohio to Wisconsin, then assembled and tested, then packed back up for delivery to PA). I was hoping to see it by this Saturday. But in the meantime, I think I have added about $400 in accessories !! Everything from wider 2.6 Nobby Nics (not needed until next year, but I like to research and buy something better suited to my needs) to a rear rack and panniers as well as a fender kit. Ohh, and most imortantly, a quality lock !! A big chunk of the upgrade will be a Bikespeed-RS unit to unlock the motors high end. I don't need to go faster all the time, but I'm trying to get around the Yamaha motor's early cutoff at 20mph, where it just stops assisting you. Luckily, as we get into the heat of summer, I can use an Ogio hydration pack that I have left over from my ATV days. That will also address the lack of water bottle bosses on the Haibike frame (and free up another $25 that I don't have to spend on a handlebar mounted unit).
