But I am not quite there yet.
This and other forums have been very helpful to me as they made me realize that the battery and the motor are a very important part of it all. You might think this is obvious but I never realized in the beginning of my search there was so much choice and so much variation in quality.
My first choice is I think the Kalkhoff Tasman City, but I am also considering the Kalkhoff Agattu C8 and and maybe the Trek T500+ and the pro connect.
I haven't had a chance to test drive the Trek yet, but that will happen in the near future. The main reason off my doubts now is the higher price of the T500+, the PC and the Tasman and on the other hand the conveniently closed gear-case of the Tasman and the better looks of the PC and the T500+.
I live in the Netherlands and last 2/3 winters were really bad with lots of snow which made it very hard to even use my current Koga Miyata Lightrunner (it has very narrow wheels with practically no profile). This is why I think the Tasman is probably the best choice for me... uhhh that and the fact that I really hate cleaning my bike...
Also I need I bike which will let me sit more upright than my current one. I have problems with my shoulders and neck and this bothers me on my Koga.
If anyone has some input on why I should better take one or the other I would love to hear it! Sorry for my English, it's not my mother language so I probably made some mistakes here and there
