My plan is either to do a custom Zinn Cycles eZinn built up like a gravel/adventure bike with a Bosch cargo line speed motor and dual batteries or I might just get the R+M SuperCharger 2 with Rohloff E-14 and belt and replace some parts to work better for me. I am unsure but I have a feeling my budget will handle the R+M a little better right now.

I own a Magnum Metro+ with over 2,500 miles on it. I really need something with more range so I'm eyeing a Wattswagon Ultimate Commuter Pro or a Riese and Muller Supercharger.

Love the looks of the R & M's, but thet'e pretty pricey for my blood. Do you have a local dealer? The one in socal stopped carrying them for some reason.

I have an Aventon Pace 500 and my wife has an Aventon Pace 350. Get about 30 miles between charges. I drove the new Aventon Level and love it. I would have gotten the "Level" instead but it was not out yet when I got mine.

I have a bulls cross mover speed bike. it has been a great bike and I put at least 120 miles a week on it usually more. been playing with the front chainring size as it has way too much top speed gearing. even at 34 I am only maybe 90 rpms cadence. I went from a 22t to 20 and even that I am still at 80 rpm at 30 s oI have a 18t to add. having the smaller chainring really makes climbing faster with less assist. when I am at 30 going downhill I am right at coasting speed.

The venerable Rad Mini, and my wife's newly Leeds converted 1995 schwinn cruiser 6. She kinda poo-poo'd my e-bike until she rode hers, she likes the way it gently pulls you up the hills, she calls that switch the "magic button".

I have a Canyon Grail-On gravel eBike. It's really fun but I have to be very careful on bike trails and overtaking serious road bikers...Most fun I've had in years...
