Smartmotion Catalyst or FLX Roadster?

[bike_nut]

I am in Australia and looking for a bike with minimum 500w nominal output. Im tossing up between the FLX roadster or Smartmotion Catalyst, both I can get for about $3500 each

Problem is I cant test ride the Roadster so I am leaning toward the Catalyst.

If anyone can help me decide which bike to get I would be most appreciative. Or if you have any other suggestions for bikes that would also be great.

Im mainly interested in urban commute but if the bike could handle the odd trail that would be a bonus!

Thanks so much.

I test rode the old hub motor Cayalyst and was impressed. The new one with the mid-drive looks like it could be even better.

Is there a mid-drive catalyst?

I believe the Pacer and Catalyst are being switched over to mid-drives.
