The greatest complaint I've seen in the ebike space is repairs and maintenance. Specifically, many of these new bikes use nonstandard components requiring specialized tools and trained techs. It's not a bike you can bring to your average bike shop to get serviced. This article failed to mention anything about this important consideration apart from a bit about the drivetrain.

A class 3 e-bike that weighs ~35-40lbs and looks a lot like a bike is really amazing to see. The steep price tag (~$3800) is not something I would purchase on a whim, but would consider given a few years time to save and ponder

I’d like to see this trend continue, but I do disagree with the gravel bike. It seems like gravel bikes are the crossovers of the bike world.

Pricey, but damn, looks promising.

nowhere near the most expensive ebike I've seen but it's $2800 more than I'd be willing to spend.

Pretty skeptical of that range claim on a 750w motor with 11ah battery even with regenerative braking.
