Nebula722 , The gearless motor on the comfort cruiser is not that good, they are heavy, controllers are more complicated & blow more often then geared motors & I bet that was your problem . I see you now have a magic pie which is gearless too & not all gearless are bad but the Dapu smaller geared motor is what saved Pedego's arse if you ask me, they use it on most models now, I have the city commuter & have 4100 miles on it , had things break like the gear shift selector, front brearing got noisy,kickstand but the bike is very good, fast & I use it often in Florida where i live. You got the wrong model, they went geared motor & it saved the company , I wouldnt have bought that comfort cruiser model, an early model when the company was still learning & new.
