New ultra low-step e-bike from Tern that will cater to newer riders / shorter riders. Thoughts?

Coming in 2023, I'm considering it as a 2nd bike to be used by my wife, my guests and perhaps for myself as well since I'm in my 60s and dealing with arthritis and back, leg and knee injuries.

Visited the Tern Booth at Philly Bike Expo 2022 this weekend and got a first look at the new NBD S5i (Blue) and S8i (Red). First impressions: Very low step and very easy to mount. High quality parts and sturdy. The Andros Stem is very adjustable. Being able to fold down to get in an automobile or store upright are both very useful.

Bump! Did you get an NBD? My local dealer said it's his fastest selling bike period, he was moving about one per day because it is such a comfortable and accessible bike for so many people. They would come and look at a more traditionally shaped Gazelle, then try riding the NBD and return with a clear preference. I tried it myself and was impressed how comfortable it was for me at 6'1", with plenty more seatpost for an even taller person. I think it's a sneaky great bike, perfect for people who are a little unsteady or who just want something that doesn't feel big and bulky.
