Great bike! Logged 1000 miles in the first 80 days since receiving my Core-5 via FedEx just 2 days after ordering it on 29 June 2022. 150 miles later the bike is riding like a champ with no issues whatsoever. Lastly, I replaced the calipers to a cable actuated hydraulic calipers paired with a 180mm tektro rotors. I don't think it's necessary but it's more of a personal preference. I also replaced the shifter with a Shimano Altus trigger shifter that I had laying around in my parts bin. I replaced the saddle with a Selle Respiro coupled with a Suntour NCX suspension seat post making the ride a lot more forgiving and comfortable. I did change a few components like the saddle, seat post, shifter, brake components and added a rear rack and panniers. Also, the headlight is bright and adequate to ride at night. Riding position is comfortable and the tires are smooth with low rolling resistance and grippy. It's quite fast, responsive and there's no need to use PAS level 4 & 5 for my commute. The motor, controller and battery setup is awesome. I've been using it to commute to work and it's such a delight riding this bike. I got the sweet deal on the Core 5 during your Black Friday Sale and I'm very pleased with the delivery time and quality of the bike.
