I prefer folding baskets!
Agreed! I have Novara* "folding basket" panniers on my (non-electric) Novara Fusion and I love them! Don't know if you can get anything like that from REI anymore though.
*Novara is what REI used to brand their CoOp bikes.

Yes, same experience. Taking into account Enviolo shifting is also slow (you have to rotate the shifter, which is not fast at all, comparing to i.e. pressing the shifter in the derailleur setup. Overall, Enviolo hub became quite a noticeable point of annoyance (i.e. I also hate you can't really shift all way down during stop - when bike is not moving, Enviolo only provides very limited range for shifting). Going to upgrade my bike with Kindernay VII soon and hope to get rig of major hub relates issues.
Update: Enviolo shifting has morphed with use. Less tightness to the shifter, easier to get into lowest (fastest) gear ratio. I think I read somewhere in this thread about someone else having a similar experience with some riding time under their belt, and it appears mine is going the same way (i.e., easier to shift, easier to get to “flat” position on Enviolo shifter graphic).Just picked up a mid step 380+ yesterday and wow! This thing is so cool! Awesome ride, hard to imagine how it could be better. Put 40miles on it today and just giggled the whole time. I have seen the same tight shifting under load as other posters, but quickly found that it disappears when you just ease up pressure on the cranks slightly to reduce motor load.
This is what you make when you’ve been building bikes for 100 years. Fantastic bike.
Given how the Enviolo works, I am not at all surprised that it is difficult to move when under load. This is the same behavior as in dog clutch non-synchro racing transmissions, and motorcycle transmissions. I really don't have a problem with it.Update: Enviolo shifting has morphed with use.

Thanks for the tip on these pedals. I just installed them on my 380+ and they are WAAAY better than the stock pedals. Larger, more solid feel … great for biking with sandals which is 90% of my riding. I ended up getting the green/red/gray camo version which look great on the bike!Also, I found these Look City whatever pedals to be waaaay better than the Gazelle pedals that cone with it, large bikes have the same size pedals as smalls? Seriously? Size 13 fit well, better support and great traction as vibram makes shoe soles. Gazelle pedals are fine but these are like being kn a solid platform vs diving board to me.
Same here, wife and I are both waiting also.Very nice!!! Anxiously awaiting delivery as I type lol….
I have the same pedals and they are fantastic. They have the lights on the pedal too.Thanks for the tip on these pedals.

No lights on mine … but I got the cool “camo” version.I have the same pedals and they are fantastic. They have the lights on the pedal too.
I agree. I have the Large C380+ arriving this week at my LBS.bought the hi step. love it. had two weeks 150 miles. I got 75 miles per charge. but pedaled alot. I also have a BMW 1200GSA shaft drive. thats why i wanted the gates belt drive. Put a Kinect seat post on. expensive, but worth double the price. Love this bike.

Can you post a picture of your Nyon display so I can see how you did it?View attachment 98680
Me and my C380+
My shifter shifts all the way flat today. Thats the hardest gear to use. It also shifts all the way up to super high as well.
I settled for the simpler solution of not mounting them on the centreline. Nyon staggered to the left, headlight to the right.Can you post a picture of your Nyon display so I can see how you did it?
I will be doing the same with my bike. I want to keep the headlight in the same location too like you have. Looks like the headlight bracket will need to be trimmed down a little to allow the Nyon bracket to fit around it.
II think that's a great bike--so many proper decisions on the components outfitted to that bike. But, doesn't that bottle location defeat the whole purpose of a mid-step frame? Probably not an issue for you being so tall, but it may be for someone who needs the lower top tube.

Very nice!
Do you have a pic?Very nice!
I ended up going with a Lupine light kit mount for the Bosch Nyon.
There is much more light, and high low/beam in low light.
