Rides well but faulty
Rating:
The Good
Rides really comfortably and better than the reduced travel would indicate. Lots of fun
The Bad
Very limited battery range, esp if you do a lot of climbing. Motor died after 470km, rear wheel imploded after 200km
Overall Review:

Overall this rides and descends really well, looks awesome, and is generally specced OK. But the mileage is very poor despite all manner of tweaking, and while I do a lot of climbing (after all, e MTBS are all about enabling multiple downhill runs are they not?), I am reduced to doing everything in ECO mode to get in a ride of 2.5 hours with 1200m climbing. In saying this, the motor also completely died after 477km, so maybe that was what led to reduced range - I'll see once the replacement motor arrives.

Plus, the rear wheel's spokes all became loose during one ride, requiring a rebuild. My mechanic has the same bike and had the same problem, so it seem like a batch of those wheels were poorly made. If the battery range can be sorted out I'd give it top marks.
