Torn between two bikes

I think you made an excellent choice. You're in for a whole lot of fun this spring.

Hello everyone! Picked up my new steed last night! What a DREAM! I will eventually need to upgrade the saddle as this one isn't too comfortable for my bum for an extended period of time, but man, what a difference. I'm so happy I listened to all of your suggestions and snagged this, totally different, bike!

It was only 12F outside with wind gusts of 60MPH but that didn't stop me from taken her on a quick maiden stroll. One of the biggest things I wanted an electric assist bike was to be able to bike out of my driveway and up my extremely hilly and steep incline of a road. It was an absolute dream bombing out of my driveway yesterday! Once we get a small patch of nice weather and less snow I'll take her for a good ride and give a solid update and review on it. The motor is an absolute dream compared to the Transx, and I'm not sure if it was the crazy wind but I could barely hear the motor working.

Again, thanks everyone for all your guidance, suggestions and advice! She's a real beaut!

Good for you and congrats on your new purchase! You are a real trooper facing the cold chill and wind on your first test ride. It is an awesome bike and after you get it dialed in and accessorized, you will have a sweet ride. Be careful with high speeds. I got carried away on my first few rides, however, once you learn how to handle the beast, you will tame it and take full control. Enjoy and ride safe!

Congrats on the new bike! Looking fabulous!
You are tougher than many cyclists, getting out there in chilly weather. I’m outside St Paul and waiting for our ginormous amount of snow to be reduced (but cross country skiing is fantastic this year).
On every bike I’ve had I always switch out the seat to a woman’s seat. It helps.
And I added a shock seat post for those bumps. I have Body Float but many brands out there.
Ebikes so rock! Especially on hills. Sometimes I now seek them out just to enjoy flying up them on turbo mode.
Many happy rides!

I prefer a torque sensor to cadence sensor. Try avoiding the second one. Trek bikes, bikes with Bosch systems and others don't use cadence sensors.
