Summary: It’s heavy but it rides amazingly, plenty of power and with the added rack and fenders you get loads of utility as well. A great choice for experienced riders such as those of us also riding motorbikes and needing something a bit more substantial to feel comfortable. Great range from a very good battery and the torque sensor works surprisingly well with the rear hub motor - no excess strain on the drivetrain and chain. Do put slime or similar into your tyres immediately to prevent punctures - they are very hard to fix once you’ve got a flat. The Ranger could benefit from some security features but these can also be added afterwards. There are sensible accessories available that enhance the bike substantially. I have attached the accessory mirrors, rear rack and fenders as well as an Urban Iki child seat (fits just about!) and panniers.
I bought the bike in April 2023, delivery was very but the packaging uses a lot of plastic and styrofoam, this could be solved with cardboard and be easier to recycle. Braking power is average at best with wooden feel in the levers of the hydraulic disc brakes but it'll stop you. I am using the bike for leisure, shopping, school runs, 38 mile round trip commutes and it does all of this absolutely wonderfully. 800 miles done and only maintenance so far is lubing the chain and adding slime to the tyres. Comfy seat, big tyres and full suspension make for a very plush ride, can only recommend.
