I am in love with this bike!

I took my bike camping in Santa Fe, Ghost Ranch, Pagosa Springs, Vallecito, Durango and Flagstaff, progressively more challenging terrain, starting with paved bike paths, ending with downhill cross-country ski area and mountain bike runs. This bike is quick and nimble. I added Shimano PD-T421 Click'R SPD Pedals for more oomph. Everything else seems perfectly balanced, including the tires. I weigh 200, but rarely drop below 2/3 on the battery meter after two-three hours at 1, 2 or 3. I maxed suspension settings thinking it would be weak at this price. Opps, I needed to back off (a lot), nice flexibility. I expected to request a higher capacity battery but haven't seen the need. I will probably want an extra battery since I dry camp a lot. Amazingly, my Class 3 upgrade remains boxed, I haven't really needed it. I love the quiet powerful assist, smooth transmission, and capability to stop on a steep incline, then restart going uphill with low gear and high assist. No wasted mental BW to anticipating gearing. This bike has exceeded my expectations. I toss it in the back of my VW SUV, or on the special roof-top carrier and go! Everything stays clean, even without using the roof rack. (You might consider selling the new roof rack that (barely) accommodates this bike. It was hard to find).

Best Bike I've Ever Owned or Rode

Bought primarily for recreation, I initially feared that I wouldn't get enough exercise but that is not the case since I try to conserve the precious battery to last the whole ride. Consequently, I'm able to go longer and further than with my analog bikes. (This is my first e-bike and I live in a mountain town.) The Larger size fits my 6'4", 195 lb body well. The bike is surprisingly comfortable and smooth. Unboxing and putting it together was super easy. I'm highly satisfied with all components with 2 exceptions: 1.) 160mm brake rotors are just OK (even my comfort bike has 180mm). 2.) Battery capacity - I have too much range anxiety while riding but maybe I just need to adjust my expectations and plans while I just have the smaller 375 Wh battery. I plan to get the 500 Wh battery as soon as it becomes available again. I'm not used to such a heavy bike but I'm still adjusting to the trade-off (weight vs. power). I also just read that the Enviolo hub has a ~300 mile break-in period so that adds some drag now. I've had the bike for 2 weeks and went on 2 rides on nice days: 1.) 24 miles on gravel and single track, 1700' gain using 75% of the battery, using PAS 0 to 3. 2.) 41 miles on paved/gravel/dirt roads, 1885' gain using 100% of the battery, using PAS 0 to 4.

Great Bike, love the belt drive, and the mid engine, but it truly need more power. The range of the battery is woefully limited. I hope you're working on a way to fix this. Thanks
