I have one after much research, and i shout its merits from the rooftops.
24 gears - hello - that says it all if you think on the fundamentals of the physics involved here.
Its a 22kg alloy mtb w/ quality disks, gears & shocks, beautiful frame, NO OVERHEATING MOTOR (the housing is the frame, fab heatsink),
You may scoff, but for many unfit newebies, an ebike buy is a bit scary. With this, you ~never ever HAVE to pedal if you dont want to (no BO at work).
it also means you can load the bike with bulky slung bags of groceries etc., to the point where you cant pedal if you want to, and get home just fine. I never need the car. Its a bike you can use as a ute. I have carried a double bed frame and ends 2km (I love council cleanup seagulling on it)

lets just say, there are power options, best not discussed here
They seem honorable folk, not ebay smart arses who avoid you after the sale.
I say seem, as i opted to just sort things myself, so only a few dealings, all good.
many here have dazzled me with science and in same breath talk about way inferior bike costing $3500. Gimmie a break. This thing humps with elegance for $1500 last i heard.
personally i like the 3 speed options on the display. I use it like a semi auto gearbox. set it to sufficient, and have squirt in reserve at the touch of a button w/o a gear change.
possible downsides:
forget a kit, buy complete bike. the housing means a custom frame, tho in every respect, a quality standard MTB
I am hazy about cadence & still on it - the right gear ratio so i can effectively help when it struggles. In lo lo lo, you cant pedal fast enough for effect.
but yes, it seems the gearing can be right for pedaling OR motor, but not both. Still working on that.
NB
I have 3 mid drive ebikes, a new petrol MTB bike never used, and about 15 bikes, so clearly i am quite mad and should be ignored.
