I have this off-road ebike back in Australia and it's just so awesome as I can also use it on-road (which has a requirement of having 250W). I had it for almost 3 years and couldn't find any better product so far.

On one section of my ride to work that passes a beautiful lake a pair of Swans have very recently produced six signets which is a lovely sight on my journey
I had a mooch around on the S/downs today and for the first time bumped in to a fellow forum member on his Cx drive FS Haibike we rode and chatted for about a mile before going different ways, Peter from Hove can't remember his user name 
.
One thing I noticed was the CX drive is a lot louder then the BBS01.

Yep I use the Trek both on and off-road a lot. 80mm front forks are fine for stuff not involving big drops. Same battery as yours with 500W CST motor/30A controller. Far more miles on-road as it isn't driven to where it's ridden off-road, but the rear hub setup copes very well, climbing is never a problem and the throttle steps in on challenging up-hill ruts. Especially where pedals would hit the sides of the ruts before a full rotation could be achieved. Taking steep uphills like that would be impossible on a European crank drive for example and you'd be forced to dismount so it's been very versatile in ways I never thought of before using it. Centre-mount battery is rock solid and 2.1 MTB tyres adequate for most conditions. For jumping about the place I'd want a full-sus though !
The Agattu gets taken off-road too but only on reasonably good trails like the ones below. It's capable enough and derestricted but rarely if ever gets used much above 15mph on a trail. I find the geometry, bigger wheels and 1.75 touring tyres usually on it limit the bike's stability on too much on rougher/softer/muddier ground. Like shady forest paths with deep slippery mud and wet leaves everywhere. Probably a nastier fall from a low-sider too, so tend to be more cautious where it's taken ! But fine for the occasional foray off the beaten track.
Why do you think falling off your low-sider would be worse than an MTB frame? I thought you might have a chance to get tours legs to one side quicker? Still, I do find that falls on a 20" folder ARE painful as the front wheel flicks over in an instant! I try to keep that bike away from curbs and leaves!
