Your ebike reviews here reminds us that, bike commuters today, are serious about their mode of transportation, and they’re love for ‘the great outdoors.’ I still remember when the Honda Prelude came out with 4 wheel steering. And now, we see Tesla’s throughout California! It’s similar bikes. I think Trek, Specialized and Giant, ‘The big 3,’ have much competition in the ebike market. And we’re glad because it minimizes they’re monopoly of the industry and forces them, along with Cannondale, to deliver a better product that consumers can afford. This particular report proves that. And we love it! Thank you so much Ed.

I’ve just clocked my first 5,000 kms on my Charger 3 and the only maintenance has been an oil change in the E14 hub.
On derailleur based bike it would have been 2-3 chains, and likely a cassette and jockey wheels. The low maintenance with a belt drive is a real treat after 50+ years of wear and tear.
