Trek Powerfly or Commuter Components?
Hello Guys,
I am new to electric bikes (and bikes in general) and I want to buy either the 2020 Trek Powerfly 5 or the 2019 Trek Super Commuter + 7. I like the fact that the Powerfly has front suspension, but based on first look, it appeared to have weaker quality components. SRAM instead of Shimano. I would greatly appreciate if you could help me inform which of the components offer the better quality.
