"Very comfortable to ride", doesn't exactly sound like a review dripping with vitriol and hate to me. However it sounds like they have same range anxiety some people have for EVs and the reviewer was willing to sacrifice comfort for 'peace of mind', whatever that means. Not everyone will feel the same way. If you have a large cargo e-bike on a grocery run comfort might be your top priority rather than if you can pedal home at 4mph with no charge.

And initial prototypes and inventions are rarely prefect are they? I feel some of the reviewers complaints here will get improved over time with better firmware and better batteries will improve range. Remember Mavic's electronic shifting from the 1990s?
