Thanks for the update!
I did not order mine as early you, but it did say April 2026. My old bike is still running good, so I can wait.
I have the red Zeb model ordered.
Was there last May for a few days, and Mount Tzouhalem, and the Jordie Lunn bike park were super fun.
Heading back this may for some Cumberland riding! I have not ridden there yet.
It does seem like most companies are ditching Shimano.
Its to bad I own one and my 2 year warranty is almost up.
Got one motor replaced at 2400 km. We will see what happens.
A little birdy told me that all the eeebs will be Bosch now.
Live to Play Sports is the Bosch distributer. Makes sense.
I actually like that wheel set.
Find out witch bearings your bike uses, and then check out this site.
I bought some of these a while back, and I'm super happy with them.

I got that plug as a warranty upgrade on my Range. I have two other friends on the new Range, and their bikes came without it, and they do not seem to concerned.

A buddy of mine had his Shimano motor replaced for just the price of labor, long after the warranty was up. Took a while because it was in the middle of covid times, but Shimano took care of him. :)
