Last night around 7pm I got it built and set up around 4:30am this morning. I really like the torque sensor, center stand, brakes, and handling of this bike. Just a little pressure on the pedals and the motor kicks right in to get going from a stop.

Nice! Too many mirrors for me, but to each their own. How is Rad doing? If they come out of Chapter 11 smaller and stronger, perhaps you will be able to get parts in the future.
 
Looks like a very capable utility ride. Please let us know how it works for your purposes.

Curious about all those mirrors. Does each have a specific purpose?

I won't ride without a mirror. Even carry one on vacations where bike rentals might come into play. But one bar-end mirror low on the left suffices at home.

4:30 am? Did you have a deadline to ride somewhere?

Did the big tub on the back come with the bike? How is it fastened to the bike!

No, the 29 gal tote did not come with the bike. I got it at Walmart under $10 and drilled some holes to match the rear rack and screwed it down to the rack through some ABS sheets for reinforcement. Also used some zip ties for the corners up front. No deadline just enjoyed getting it done for today.

Well I had the mirrors on my Aipas M1 Pro I am giving to my son to blast around his acreage and he did not want mirrors, nor pedals, nor chain nor shifter lol throttle only for him and mounting some foot pegs to the bottom bracket instead of the pedals. I like the right side mirrors for when I turn left across an intersection. I ride city streets for grocery runs so I like to keep an eye on things. Looking forward to my first grocery run next week.

So did you add the taillights on the tote? And matching ones on the front rack.
