What I can say is they are a game changer, get into the way back places without sweating up, stay late and lights on for the quick trip out. It is a hub motor, but torque sensing , that means it’s not just off and on like many bikes. I have only put 250k on mine, but so far it has been "flawless".[ATTACH]

I should add it’s a “mid” priced unit (4K) with 1000 watt drive

I've also bought a foldable Rad-mini, fat-tire e-bike for my travel van excursions - but haven't yet used it.

Good choice. It was on our list but couldn’t get it in a small frame. The front suspension on the Allant is great for the trails we ride.
