Bought this bike a year ago after researching many e-bikes. I've put over 1,000 miles on this bike and everything is running great. I travel 16 miles one way and use up 1/2 the battery while on level 4 assist - level 5 on very flat road with no headwind. There is one hill that is above a 20% grade which uses up the bulk of the battery especially if I have the assist above level 3. On very windy days (+25 mph) I keep the assist around level 3 so I can make it home without switching to full manual pedaling. The wheels are double walled which was a pleasant upgrade surprise. The gear shifting works but is rarely used as you will find that riding in the highest gear at speed assist 5 does absolutely nothing to speed you up and gets frustrating trying to pedal to keep the motor going. I am replacing the chainring with a 60T (larger size) in hopes this fixes this. I don't use the other lower gears since I never use this bike without some level of assist. The bike is very heavy and pushing those pedals manually feels like a slog. Do yourself a favor and buy tubes prefilled with slime because fixing a rear wheel flat on a ride is super frustrating with the motor, wiring connection, kickstand, guardrail, and small dropout that you'll have to deal with. I know this sounds like a lot of bellyaching but overall, I am really impressed with the quality parts and pre-assembly that went into this bike. I'm tuning up the bike and finding that all the components are still looking great even though I've ridden the bike a lot. I did need to replace the rear brake pads due to uneven wear, but that was me being lazy and not double checking the orientation until a year later. I follow the battery charging instructions to a 'T' and keep the battery off the bike and indoors when not on a ride. I've already recouped the cost of this bike compared to taking the bus or buying a vehicle. I hope all your rides are fun and safe!
