My Level.2 has the battery in the down tube but has water bottle cage bosses bosses there, so that’s not the reason it’s absent.
I also feel like the assistance in PAS1 was a bit much and I told them so. They said they would pass it onto the engineering team, but it has apparently been ignored.
These bikes have a good mix of quality, value and efficiency. I’m finding their range estimates are accurate for taking it easy on PAS1, which is refreshing.
Congrats to your girl!
