Chris @ Propel Electric Bikes
8 years agoGreat review Court! This bike is actually on sale now for $2999 while supplies last. The 2017 model with the 500Wh battery will be $3499. This bike is the sporty counterpart to their comfort offerings like the Arroyo. Due to some injuries I definitely lean towards more comfort bikes, but we still see some demand for these types of setups. Since you don’t need to be as worried about efficiency on an electric bike, I generally recommend suspension forks and seatposts like you.
I think more companies are coming around though. It’s really the product managers, most of them come from the sport/racing side of the industry and I don’t know if they all fully understand the customers for these bikes. I think we’re going to see more bikes with these creature comforts standard and I definitely think that’s a good thing.

8 years agoGreat feedback Chris! Appreciate your clarification around the 2017 with a 500 watt hour battery pack for more vs. the 2016. You’re full of insights and it’s neat to get the pricing angle from a shop… like if I was on a budget I think the lower watt hour option could be just fine. I remember thinking the range for the Bosch Powerpack 400 was really good and on an efficient ebike like this it would make for an excellent commuter. I love the rack and lights too :)
