    I have the 4.0 EQ and love it. It’s no electric motorcycle, you do have to pedal, but if feels incredibly natural and it’s light enough to keep going when the battery dies and not feel like a wheelbarrow full of lead bricks. 9/10 with 1 point docked because the way the charge cord sticks into it is dumb and makes the $100+ power adaptor susceptible to damage.

        Yeah, I think the main difference with the 5 is the carbon fork and the bike can do some assist adjustments where it will increment the assist up or down based on how far you tell it you are going to make sure your battery takes you the whole way, or to keep your power/heart rate or something at a set value. I don’t need that stuff, but I did find my butt determined a suspension seat post was the single biggest improvement to the bike.

          I’ve thought about suspension seatposts before but they seemed kinda gimmicky. What do you have for yours and how long have you had it?
