Yes! I guess I'm spoiled with smooth roads year round. Bumpy roads would definitely warrant a good suspension.

It was a surprise to me too. I was an avid cyclist in my youth, have been away from it for a very long time. So this year in my early 50’s I decided to get an ebike. Things that don’t even look bad, cracks is asphalt that don’t warrant a second thought normally are bumpy on a bike. My first demo rides were on cheaper unsuspended bikes and they were cool, I loved pedal assist and knew right away I was getting one. Then I repeated the demo ride on front and full suspended bikes. Holy cow what a difference! The rear not so much but the front definitely. Smooth as glass over surfaces that were bumpy before. Not that I wouldn’t or couldn’t enjoy an unsuspended bike, just that I found the alternative much more comfortable. So now it’s a must have, for me. A big time bonus: after the purchase I discovered how much trail development has taken place in my city over the last 30 years, including single track dirt. What I had no interest in before buying the bike has become some of my favorite rides.

Only because they went with Brose instead of Bosch

Definitely for an EMTB.

Limited range, the bikes route a lot of juice to the subwoofer pipes.

Harley-Davidson's Most Affordable E-Bike Is The Loudest Bike I've Ever Ridden
The first joke you can expect to hear about Serial 1, Harley-Davidson’s e-bike spinoff, is how Harley managed to make them set off car alarms and wake up the neighbors. As it turns out, the $3,399 Mosh/Cty is the loudest bike I’ve ever ridden. That’s a good thing, though it has more to do with...

The hub noise is a funny thing there, as the motors used in Mosh and especially in Rush are the quietest in the market...Actual pretty thorough review
