I love my CCS. A little over 2 years old, with 4000+ miles on it. But I'm not getting any younger. The arthritis in my knees makes it hard to get on and off. I've dreamed about getting a CCX since they came out out, but swinging that leg over the seat to get on and off is more difficult all the time. So I started looking around at step-through bikes. And in the end, the Scorpion won out.
Hard to beat the price. It's been lowered from $2199 to $1899 already, and with the $100 off for Mother's Day, it costs hundreds less than my CCS with the old 17.4 Ah battery.
19.2 Ah, 52 V battery -- that alone is hard to beat. Mag wheels - I've had a couple of broken spokes on the rear wheel and it's a pain. No more! Pedaling won't be the same, and I do like to pedal to get the exercise. I'm looking at it as being like -- what do they call it? -- pedal forward geometry? Apparently some people like it, and I think I'll adapt.
I'm not crazy about fat tires, but they look good on this bike. My wife's Pedego has Schwalbe Fat Franks and she likes them -- very comfortable ride. I expect I will like the tires on the Scorpion.
So, this will be different. A new chapter in my ebike journey.
Now, we wait.
Edit: I was mistaken about the 19.2 Ah battery. It's the 13 Ah. That's fine. Not as cool, but fine.
