Sorry to hear that. Was it a LaFree+1 or +2?
My second ebike purchase was a Class 3 Specialized Vado. Couldn't be happier with the two bikes, one for the gravel roads, one for the paved.

Bummer!
Never fear, you'll find something that suits you.
Actually, at present, I'm surprised by the fact that e-bikes go on sale. The norm now days seems to be a mark up in price due to the short supply,

True, Stefan - even this one on sale was $200 more than the FABulous deal I got on my first one last year.

Carefull there, @Stefan Mikes. You could ruin your reputation by recommending a Como over a Vado. Next thing you'll be recommending a SL...A Specialized Como, @PatriciaK?

I dunno Stefan, the bike I´m on now cost less than half what I paid for the first one, & itś a much better all around bike.

It reminds me of the time I put a Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 lens into my cart on Amazon...it was Cyber Monday and it was listed for $200. It is a $2400 lens. Then I saw another lens also listed at the same price. I got greedy and tried putting more into my cart. Long story short I never got anything due to my messing around.

I found Como to be an excellent bike for its purpose (especially in the Euro edition). I might go for the SL if I'm losing my body weight and improving physically at the rate it's happening right now Mind you, I was able to take my Vado in my hands, carry down the staircase, carry it over my backyard and get it the whole way down to the cellar/garage without wheels touching the ground because I didn't want to get it soiled after the wash and lubing today...

The West Pomeranian dust was really annoying 
Worse news is the Warsaw repair shop forgot to notify me the Trance wheels had been ready. Another day lost and Bikeman.pl are losing their reputation. It was enough the soul of the shop Perry left for his desired vacaton...

I'm actually not feeling too bad about it any more, and still thinking about the Flow. My East coast needs are very different from my West coast needs - much flatter terrain, shorter rides because it's a city, etc., and we are there less than half the year, so the bike wouldn't be ridden as much...
Having said that, I can see myself "thinking" myself right out of this one, too. Delivery is not till the end of October, which would only give me a few weeks of riding before heading west again...
