I love my Rise and not even thinking about replacement it but if I were to buy one today I'd probably get the Trek Fuel EXe 9.7

Are there any clear leaders in the motor/battery technology yet or are they relatively the same at this point?

Interwebs say bosch gen 4
I have shimano ep8 with no complaint yet but dont pull up ep8 in FB, lol.
The players that have been doing it like bosch shimano brose Yamaha seem to got the bugs under control. Id personally give the newbies a couple years before i tried.

Choose a bike brand that provides good warranty service. We've only had a few issues with the Brose motors on Specialized's bikes, and all were taken care of quickly.

^^ That's awesome! I like that you can't tell, visually, that it's an emtb.

Did you encounter any trail limitations? Last time there E-bikes were prohibited on non-motorized trails, including trails open to bicycles.

I didn't encounter any limitations. And the only other riders (2) that I came across were also on emtbs. They were local to the area.

You're right on about the regs.

I'm glad you didn't pit a stick shift against an automatic. I still roll my own gears on my daily driver.

Hey! If you ride a med or XL and are a serious ebike buyer, send me a DM. We have some ebikes we need to move to make room for the new stuff on the horizon.
