Well, I did look at the Trek Verve+. I recently tried level 3 to come home it cut 5 minutes off of my 50 minute commute time each way. I like the Trek Verve+ but was concerned about the 250W Bosch Motor. I was not sure, about it for the slight hill that I have to climb. I like the Yamaha Mid Drives on the Cross Core bike better. The Retroglide might be old, but it still provides a great value for my application. I want to try the Blix Aveny or Sol next to compare on my commute which is 11.6 miles each way. Ebikes are awesome.
