Bought one of these, first day it went on sale, 26" grey. Arrived last Thursday via Fedex (June 29th). Put it together without instructions in about 15-20 minutes.
I'm very surprised at how good it is. I'm 5'10" and 220lbs. Fits me just fine. I live on a good hill, steep enough that I have to gear way down on a regular bike, and still very winded at the top. With throttle only, it will almost maintain speed all the way up the hill (not very long, just 150 yards or so). On any pedal assist (there's only 3 levels), it's easy to maintain a constant speed up the hill. On flat ground it's hard to keep a decent/slow pace, even on the lowest assist it wants to go too fast, wish it had 5-6 levels.
I took it up & down the hill about 8-9 times and only took one bar off the battery indicator (there are 4). I had other things to do so told one of the neighbor kids to run it until just the last bar is lit. She rode it for probably an hour around the neighborhood (not just up & down our hill) and had to put it in her garage when the rain started. I asked her to just finish in the next day or two and bring it back to me to charge.
Power is good, comfort is good (for a small seat). Front fork seems a bit sticky, not smooth. Brakes are super squeaky and kinda soft. Tweaking the cable length I can now get decent braking but still noisy. Will have to work on those more. Never had disc brakes before so it will be different. It is not much heavier than a similar sized aluminum frame bike, the 10 lbs or so extra is all battery. Take that battery off and you'd swear it's a normal bike. Nothing like the purpose-built tanks you see a lot of, especially the fat tire ones.
This will be for my wife who is quite a bit lighter than I, so expect that she will be delighted when she gets back in town. We rented a couple bikes just like these a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, hence this purchase. She's a bit shorter too, but I've confirmed that the seat will go down far enough so it's comparable to her existing bike. We'll take some of the farkles off her old bike (fat seat, lock, computer) and sell or give it to one of the of neighbor kids growing too fast.
I will want something with more power, but she'll be happy with this one. I can rebuild this battery pack when it wears out, or build an extension and 2nd pack if we want really long rides. I paid my own $$$ for this bike, it's not a paid review or in return for a good rating, from anyone.
Hope I touched on all the main points. Bottom line, pleasantly surprised so far (assuming I can get the brake squeaks worked out).
A lot of states have adopted the 3 classification system of ebikes, but not all.
