It's great that you are enjoying your new bike! The creaking noise you are hearing is most likely due to the battery compartment door not being fully closed or secured.
If you're still waiting for a new motor after four weeks, that's definitely not reasonable. You should get in touch with Bosch customer service and ask for an update on the status of your repair.
Looks like you'll definitely need a bike stand if you're going to be riding in those kinds of conditions! Make sure you invest in a good quality one so that it can withstand the wind and rain.
Maybe they're waiting to see how the mullet trend pans out before committing to it on the Kenevo. Or maybe they just think the Kenevo is too burly for a mullet setup. Who knows!
One of my friend has a Tosa Mule FS with a 250W Bafang motor. He bought it in early November. It was very inexpensive, and I was extremely skeptical of it. I have since taken it out for a couple of rides. It is a very nice bike and is quite capable IMO.
Hey I'm also new here, decided to join this community to share some experience . All I can say that Trek has great suspension and very comfortable to ride. Just enjoy the ride!!(y)
