I think I've narrowed my choice for my first EMTB down to the Lapierre Overvolt AM 627i, but the closest I can get to a test ride is on the Lapierre Overvolt AM 400i.
These bikes seem totally different so far as the components - different motor, suspension, battery, everything down to the tyres it comes with. Even the frame geometry looks slightly different because of the battery set up.
Despite myself I really like the look of the integrated battery and the Overvolt 627i seems to come with such great specs - I like what Ive read about fox suspension (it has the fox 36 float emtb performance forks, and fox float at the rear) and the steps e8000 motor sounds great, but I've been able to read up on all the components individually, found this bike that seems built straight out the top of my wishlist and then found it really tough to find any specific reviews for this model.
Anyone out there got one? Can i really get a feel for the am 627 by hiring an am 400?
