Very well thought-out bike made from quality components that come together very well to make a bike that is a pleasure to ride. At this price point it's lighter than other bikes, has a longer range, is made from better quality parts and is better looking!
It has both pedal-assist and throttle (no pedalling required!) modes. The battery locks in place or pulls out quite easily (have to remove the saddle first). The wired-in lights are a nice finishing touch.
It's a bike that's fun to ride, very well balanced, and just happens to be an electric one - unlike the clunky things that most electric bikes are.
I paid the bit extra to get the Schalwbe tyres because they're reputed to have excellent puncture resistance.
