I got the v2 last year and i love it.
Customer support is great too. Mine was randomly shutting off, and they had me take a couple pictures of the wires to ensure no damage, then just shipped me a new controller at no charge.
Have you noticed if it uses a lot of proprietary stuff? I’d heard that criticism of this brand before.

Doesn’t say if this version supports fenders. I almost bought an earlier version, but could only put racing blade fenders on…so I skipped it. IMO a bike unable to support fenders significantly reduces its usefulness.
It comes with fenders, but they look pretty standard so you could probably put just about any that fit.

At just under 40 lbs this seems like it would be viable to just ride if the battery died. My regular commuter/touring bike weighs almost that much with bags/accessories, not even counting water.

Fat tires aren’t really necessary for anything but snow and sand and their motors aren’t any better than any other equivalent motor.
In fact, all other things being equal, fat tires are a little slower because they have more rotational mass. ~2" tires can handle most terrain with less weight, so they’re more efficient overall (but, if you are riding in sand then fat tires are absolutely the way to go).

That’s true, but skinnier tires would also let you get more range out of an equivalent battery on top of better acceleration.
It’s all a trade-off though, fat tires offer better vibration dampening/pseudo-suspension, and they are unmatched riding on sand.

Yeah but that would also hold true for a skinnier wheel (part of why cargo bikes don’t use superfat tires),
