I am trying to decide between these two bikes for my daily commute of 12ish KM each way. Iceland is quite hilly with lots of wind, which is why I really want the power assist. The Groove is much cheaper, but I like the look and handlebar setup, and disc brakes of the Neo Cross much more, as well as the motor being in the back instead of the front on the Groove. From what I can tell from online reviews, the Neo Cross has a top assist of 1:3 whereas the Groove only 1:2, is this correct?
Anyone had a chance to ride both and have a preference based on feel?
I owned a Kalkhoff Pro Connect a few years ago and liked it a lot, but had to sell it before I moved back to Iceland. So there is some brand familiarity even though the groove is a step down in the product line.
