That is excellent. Anything under 50 lbs usually pushes one into the 4k price range. That rule has still not changed as far as I can tell. We don't need to consider Super Commuter if the XM700+ is available for under 4k.

I bought my xm700+ just over a year ago in the 55cm size. It is far lighter than my prior bike or my wife’s Pedego. Almost 4000 trouble free miles on it now... will go over the 4K mark in a couple of weeks. I absolutely love the thing. I got it brand new for three thousand dollars at one of those Trek demo days at one of our local trek dealers. They were offering 3200, I countered with 3000 and that was it.
Only issues have not been the bike’s fault... separated tire and a couple of broken spokes. Oh yeah, and that business with the contacts getting dirty in the controller and it wouldn’t power up... I guess that one WAS the bike’s fault, after all!
Highly recommended. The only other ones out there that intrigue me are the R&M Nevo and this new Trek police bike. As a retired cop and an ever more enthusiastic fan of the gravel trail through the woods stuff, that bike looks terrific. I particularly like the way they partially buried the battery in the downtube as with the Super Commuter. If anything happened to my bike, that one is for sure the way I’d go next time. In the meantime I’m getting ready to finally put a 42 tooth cog on the xm700 for some of these Adirondack hills I find myself halfway up periodically. The police bike already comes with that wider gearing!
