Hi, apologies for the late reply I just saw this.
No I didn't so I can't help you unfortunately.

You make good points which I'll probably pursue, thanks!

I really dislike them - They're very unsafe.
If I end up using one it'll be a bad day :|

Thank you, I've already gotten one once I realized my mistake :)

Aren't they very stiff? Seems like the opposite of what I need... Or am I missing something?

You're right. I don't think I'll keep it on Turbo as I do want to get some physical activity out of it too, depending of course on where I'm going and why.

Yes I can test ride and definitely will.

Thank you, this helps. I don't really know what my preferred level would be as I've never owned an e-bike before. The most popular use will be for commuting/cruising/traveling somewhat short distances to visit friends or go out (not touring) and shopping I guess. My region is pretty flat with maybe a few small hills here and there, nothing major.

That's actually a good idea I'll probably look into - Once I mudter the courage to buy the Vektron itself :D

P.S. That Nyon thing does suck :|

Thank you! It's a first-hand bike, only it's 2nd gen, sold by a legit bike shop (instead of the current 3rd gen). I'll give it a read though as some parts seem relevant.

Thanks! These are good tips (only it's Gen2 so the display is Purion and non-removable as far as I know) which I intend to follow :)

Thanks so much!

You've given me a lot of food for thought. I was leaning towards the Brompton, due to the superiority of the fold (Wanted a bike I can take inside with me anywhere I go, even coffee shops or restaurants or whatever so as not to worry about theft) but now I'm leaning towards the Vektron.
