Electra Moto 3i longer term review????

Ive ridden it a bit and after this amount of time I thought if there was something I would've improved the bike it would've been this.

!) A few more gears. I like the internal hub for its simplicity an style but it lacks a little on the hills.
2) Different Tires The 29x2.125 are nice but for me I missed the suspension on my Trek DS8.4 it just gave that little extra cushion.
3) Hydraulic Disk brakes. The mechanicals are nice but hydro is just so much better. Less effort and better feel.

Now 1 year later I'm looking for a replacement tire for my 2009 Electra Cruiser and what do I find on the website?

Electra Super Moto 8i



Its as if they read my mind.

1) 8 speed internal over the 3.
2) 27.5 x 2.8 Tires Slightly smaller but almost 3" wide tires to change the ride.
3) Tektro 2 Finger Hydro brakes



Damn them.
I saw that but had no idea it was a 27.5 + very nice ride.
