New Gazelle Ultimate t10 Purchase thoughts

[Baldhills]

I am going to ride through the winter again this year. For those days when there is too much snow for the Ultimate, I will just snowshoe. Note the advantage of the step-through frame when bringing home the new snowshoes.
Does anyone know a repeatable way to get the rubber charge port cover closed. I would love to see Gazelle make the designer create a video of them opening and closing it 5 times in a row. I think I have closed it 3 times this year!

I’ve heard that a little bit of dielectric grease will help.
My bike is in shipping to my LBS presently. I will try the grease when it gets here.

Grease works great!

Or clean it with alcohol. It closes easily afterwards
