Picked up a barely used 2015 Felt SPORTe Step-Thru. This model has the Gen2 Bosch Performance mid-drive. https://electricbikereview.com/felt/sporte-step-thru/
The 400wh battery seems to be in very good condition. We will need to get some miles in and go thru a few charge cycles to fully gauge its condition. I picked this up for my wife so she could try to ride at my pace out on the bike trails when I am riding my collection of 80's road and touring non-powered bikes. I also have a vintage Panasonic ATB bike I converted with a Bafang BBS02. The Felt is obviously not nearly as powerful as the Bafang, but it is more refined with the torque sensing and other tech the Bafang lacks. It seems like this 2015 Felt is very competitive with all the newer e-bikes out there and still very relevant compared to the newer Bosch mid-drives.
