It is even true in the country so remote to you as Poland is. Seems to be a general Giant policy. When I had the display installed on my Trance, I paid nothing for the service itself because I had bought the bike from that LBS. I even got a regular customer rebate!MayL what you heard is typical for Giant/Liv. I was told there would be an added charge to have my bike serviced if I did not buy it at that particular shop (unlike a dealer vehicle purchase). I made many calls last week regarding this. Cannot say about the other brands.
It's not just the larger battery. Aside from generally upgraded components, the 1.2 motor in the 4 will deliver more power and torque that you'll appreciate in mountain country.
test rode both Vado and Como again today. Like both.
West coast mtns here on the north side of Vancouver but a river valley to the east where I would ride as well. Quite variable throughout the province.
Wikipedia offers this tid bit re British Columbia topography, "The province is dominated by mountain ranges, among them the Canadian Rockies but dominantly the Coast Mountains, Cassiar Mountains, and the Columbia Mountains."
Yeah....inventory is stupid low right now. I don't understand why they did the big rebate thing in March/April that decimated their inventory when they weren't going to replenish for many months. Seems odd. Seems like they gave up $1000 in profit on countless units for no reason. Granted they didn't know the full impact of COVID (and what it would do to increase bike sales in general) but even that notwithstanding, I can't figure out the timing and magnitude of the rebate if new bikes weren't going to be out for nearly a year (other than the SL which is a very different bike/different market.test rode both Vado and Como again today.

1 Vado 4 step thru left at LBS and none till 2021 ......with a much higher price pt due to...everything!
Yes. Check out Tims torque curves that he posted a few days ago. Still think a Como 3 is a sweet ride though.
Are their any Como's let anywhere? While I prefer the Vado, I would have done the Como if there were no more Vado's to be had....I'd take that over any other comparable option from another mfg.test rode both Vado and Como again today. Like both.

There are actually 2 vados sitting at my lbs. Didn't ride one, but they are looking dusty and lonesome. They don't fit the local market of Amish and Mennonite farmers very well.
Given how hard these seem to come by, maybe we should buy them for resale!
Maybe red and blue, not sure. 1 Como in blue for sure, but might have a deposit on it.Given how hard these seem to come by, maybe we should buy them for resale!
Do they have Como's too or just Vado's?
What color Vado's?

I'm guessing Crimson since the Amish aren't known for favoring speedGiven how hard these seem to come by, maybe we should buy them for resale!

See, Crimson (ignore my psost time stamps
)
I passed a horsedrawn buggy uphill on my test drive. That horse wasn't trying for speed.
Yes. Clearly no one wants to buy Crimson if they have some left! And- wait- what color did he say they DID NOT have...likely because they were the first to sell out. Hmm...let me think...which one could it be...See, Crimson (ignore my psost time stamps
but, but - It's been established by 'notable aurhorities' that Crimson is THE fastest color, and it's 'well known' that Amish don't like speedy things, therefore and henceforth colors other than Crimson are sold out because they are slower.
