I'm sure they are going with a 750 watt motor on the next iteration of this model. Almost all the competition has that size motor. But for 899, that is a pretty good deal. If anyone wants to dip their toes into the ebike scene, I recommend the Jetson bolt pro. It's 300 at Costco and it's not junk. Also it is highly customizable with non oem parts.

I plan on making a more in-depth video in the next month or so about some of my modifications and how the bike's been holding up! I attached the premium headlight by modifying the stock (small) headlight mount and screwing it onto the bottom of the basket. I bent the part of the mount that screws into the light so it's wider, and then used a dremel on the light itself to make the mounting point a little bit narrower so it would fit in the bracket. It's a little rough but the end result looks great :)
