Thanks guys. The other two Schwinn ebikes seem pretty expensive for what appears to be lower level Shimano components. I'd hate to have a 1500 dollar ebike that was really a 300 dollar bike with a 1200 dollar electric system, but I'd be pretty happy with an 800 dollar bike with a 1200 electric system if you get my drift. Bikes get some major upgrades going from the 300 to 800 price point.

I have an upgraded Scott Sub 20 that I think is a great bike.... maybe I should just retrofit it. In the end if I want a "pure" bike it might be the time to get a second bike that is more dedicated to riding than commuting.
