Yes it is a better spec bike , the Vulcan was also a very good entry level bike too but I wanted something with a Bosch crank motor and 29" wheels. I looked at the Trek Powerfly 4 which was very nice but was £600 dearer and the Voodoo nearly had the same specs, the Trek had a 500wh battery and the Voodoo has a 400wh. Both have the Bosch performance CX motor. The Voodoo was £2000 with my discount £1800 so I'm well pleased..
Not ridden it yet but the first dry day I'm out on it.
