Anybody have any thoughts on a 2019 Moterra 1 ?

My local bike store has a 2019 Moterra on sale at %20 off. So about $5000 plus tax.

Is this a good deal?

My other choice I'm thinking right now is either a Trek Rail 7, or a Specialized Turbo Levo Comp.

I'd say no, and I havent even looked at the bike.
i'm struggling to commit to a 2021 bike. what if next year they all have e-specific parts, seats, revised geometry, bigger batteries, better motors, 8 speed groupsets, drop-able forks for climbing and the old (2021) bikes will be worthless??
the 2019 bike would have to be 50% off to consider for me

Looks like you are in the US of A so I'd say ok deal but not earth shattering. I'm in Australia and they retail for around 12k here. I have a Moterra 2 and I find it really good for what I want, spec is good, brakes great. Weren't they released late 2019 as a 2020 model? I got mine in February this year and it was the first one in the country. You could wait for a 2021 but then 2022 models will for sure be better again so I would just buy one asap and have fun - now!
