A2B and IGO are two different animals, silent hub motor versus noisy geared drive.
If you can live wth constant noise of gears??
I rode bike like this and found it annoying listening to this, on bike path noise other than chain=electric something.
I doubt LiPolymer chemistry will deliver 1000 cycles, very theorethical, usually 600-700 cycles but definitely less than 1000 and GOD forbid electronics absolutely cut off battery before it goes below LVC.
yES , i AGREE IT IS not LIKE LiFePo chemistry and I cannot even think when charger fail and allow for overcharging. They use RC pOLYMER CELLS BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAP.
