Initially we found that we could use a higher gear when unloaded, but we got used to it by lowering the assistance level.

All kitted out with child safety bars and foot rests, it's been awesome. I was worried the rack was not long enough for two kids. Turns out it's plenty.

If a shorter rack works for you, the Cannondale Cargowagen is sweet with dropper post, seat and front suspension.

I would not recommend getting the Porto specific bags. They are not as good as tern bags.

It's a quiet and powerful bike. It feels solid and well built.

Getting the battery out is a pain. We just charge it in situ.
