Pros:

• Lightweight electric bike with rear carry rack and full-length alloy fenders, making it easy to pedal unpowered or lift onto a car rack
• Aerodynamic drop-bar setup with three hand positions for a range of aggressive body positions
• Plenty of utility, including bottle cage bosses on the seat tube and sleek rear rack with pannier hangers and blockers
• Emphasis on safety with reflective Bontrager H1 tires, powerful SRAM Force CX 1 hydraulic disc brakes, and integrated LED lights with flashing mode and an aim adjustment for the headlight
• Intuitive and comfortable control pad placement and unique light switch integration
• Motor and battery weight positioned low and center on the frame, improving handling and stability when lifting
• Paint-matched, sleek rear rack with pannier slider blocks and a notch at the base for bungee cords or clips, designed to be easy to take off while leaving a spot to re-mount the rear light
• Simple, durable 1x11 speed drivetrain with alloy chainring guard to keep pants clean and snag-free and SRAM Force CX 1 derailleur featuring a clutch system to reduce chain slack and provide smoother shifting
• Bosch mid-drive motor with shift detection, allowing for smoother shifting under power and reducing pedal force to alleviate mashing when shifting
• Quick-release front wheel using a 12 mm thru-axle for strength and stiffness when steering and cornering at high speeds
• Flattened downtube to make the battery mount more secure and help it blend in visually, with black motor and battery casing matching the cabling and blending in well with the paint job
• Five frame sizes allowing for dialing in fit and improving comfort on longer rides
• Slightly fatter tires, carbon fiber fork, and "comfortable" Alpha 200 Gold Aluminum alloy frame designed to dampen vibration on any surface, improving comfort
• Relatively quiet fenders that do not rattle

Cons:

• Bosch Purion display is not removable and does not offer Micro-USB charging
• Some riders have reported that the Bosch Performance Speed motor only barely reaches its rated speed of 28 mph and requires more effort than some competing products.
