Exceeding expectations. This sub $2,500 Brose powered mid drive hard tail mountain bike is phenomenal. On my 2nd ride I took a hillside twisty I like to ride on my motorcycle (sports bikes, I'm a typical canyon rider). I got a serious workout, but I FLEW up the hill > 12 mph average, and on the downhill, I was taking corners I'd be dragging a knee on at nearly the same speeds (ish, there were some cars on my way that held me back) and it felt easier to hold my line under heavy front braking than my motorcycle. At the end I still had > 30% battery left. WoW. I can't wait to see what it can do with street tires/slicks, I might be able to keep up with the sport bikes in the tighter twisties :)

I got the color-changing green-to-purple paint and it's so nice I've just left the bike parked near the center of my house so I can admire it when I walk past. This is my 2nd eBike (Ride1up Roadster V2 was my first). Stupid happy with this so far.

Oh, there's a bridge in the background, I swear :)
