I will do another post after I have more time riding. Winter/spring season but here is what I know so far. Have ridden 25 mile 3 different rides flat hills and both in one ride. Bike has performed very well. Would definitely recommend this e bike to anyone just starting out with E bikes or anyone who has one already. It is great for commuter bike and good with hills. Did not fail to complete the hill test for me and there is another commercial review not done by the maker that gives this bike great review. It has strong torque and takes off really quick so be warned if not used to this selecting assist 2 is fine but 3 or 4 to start off with will result in very strong take off and quick start. I normally so far use power assist 2 then go up as needed. The gears shift easily and Shimano is always nice to see bike equipped with that. The motor is also quality well known motor and again has sufficient power for a every day commuter bike. Don't be fooled by the limited 20mph. For get around quickly and still handle hills easily I think this bike if great. 500 - 900 Watt rear motor does the job nicely. I have ridden 750 wastt bike with max speed 28 but it bogged down on the same hills this bike handles well. Some will do better than others. Depending on what you really are looking for. Some I think is trade off for speed vs torque. Anyway I recommend this bike. GEN3 is American company which is what I wanted also. Too many foreign bikes taken over the market and not all high quality and poor support. GEN3 has been awesome with support and you can talk to the persons who work for the company. Based in Washington State. Chat and phone. I called and chat both and their support was really great. Very helpful and they have many videos they can link you to and if you still want more help they will stay on phone and walk you through steps for things like adjusting brakes set up display battery etc. etc. Support for me is very important. If you sell a e bike then why not stand behind what you make. These guys do and because in America getting parts or support is easy and quick. They have other bikes available but I bought this one. The Stride to go to work and stores and restaurants and visit friends. Just remember the bike is an investment like any other if you can find company to insure it do it and use high quality locks and use your head when it comes to where to lock your bike up. I keep it in full view of me . I also use Disc Brake locks along with Kryptonite NY Lock and Chain . Lets face it anything worth stealing thieves will try to do it. So keep your bikes locked and safe as possible. Keep it in view of yourself and others etc. Hope this helps. Here another review from; Electric Bike Report. it on You tube. Link here they actually test it out run it up some hills in San Francisco and give it great review. I am 5ft. 11in and the bike fits me just fine. Peace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6zalE2jE9A

I've already put 40mi on this thing and I absolutely love it! Ebikes are a real game changer. I've been commuting not just to work on the Stride Step-Through, but also to my social functions. Now if only there was better infrastructure in my area of the world...

I am loving my new bike, as a total tech member it was delivered and put together by BB and I have been riding it ever since, it’s smooth and easy to handle and can go a long way on a charge
