After looking at many options and reading reviews I decided to go with a class 1 in REI’s Co-op brand. It’s on the lighter end for e-bikes and will work well for how I plan to use it. I also factored that many areas and trails are starting to exclude class 2 and 3. They had a model year close out 40% off and I like the components, especially the Bosch drive system not to mention REI support pretty much anywhere. I rode it yesterday and the pedal assist is going to be just fine
Looks like a good deal. Will be interesting to see how it does on a long climb and what the battery life is.
Do you know what the warranty is?
You can return it for any reason within a year. Members get two years free adjustments and non-members one. They state that defects it can be returned at any time, which I'm sure has some limitations. One of the reasons I went with REI brand though
