2.5 years ago I bought a Trek Verve +. $2,500.00 with a front rack added. It had the rear rack, street tires, lights, a Bosch drive unit in the crankset. That's a drive in the pedals. I already had mud tires with studs from commuting to work for years on a bike with the same wheel size. Only one battery and an extra would have been something like $750.00. I still haven't got a spare battery but it would be nice. The 2 amp charger takes a long time to work but you could go to a 4 amp charger and speed up the charge time to about half with no cost to battery life. A suggestion when you charge to 100% turn on the bike for about two minutes and let the light take the top edge off the charge. That will greatly increase the battery life. You could take a short excursion on the bike to get the same. Just don't leave it to the top charge level as it greatly shortens battery life. I try to always do this and I haven't felt a reduction in the charge lasting so it works. Let us know what you buy and how it works for you . I am thinking of getting a bike with dual motors and dual batteries. Be Well, RZ.
