The brakes are very good
Before buying, given my weight of 110kg, I felt that a bike like this should have disc brakes and was deterred from buying until realising that the hydraulic brakes fitted were far superior to what I'd been used to with cable brakes on my budget priced Schwinn mountain bike.
A couple of years ago, it was riding this old bike which made me realised something was wrong. Cycling about 4 miles uphill I'd needed to rest repeatedly and eventually realised that my health was failing. I was diagnosed with leukaemia a few days later.
Fortunately there are some excellent treatments nowadays and within a few weeks I was able to get back in the saddle, though recently a relapse means I have to change from the drug I'd been.
So the pedelec is for me, something of a distraction that will give the opportunity to get outdoors, away from inward thoughts. Something for my mental as well as physical well being.
Given the current circumstances, I won't be testing the bike to the limits of its range but no local hill, so far, has defeated it.
At 6ft 1in I chose the 55cm frame. It's big. I had to lower the saddle to be able to reach the ground comfortably and it won't go lower. So trying for size would be a good idea, if in doubt.
Looks like a great bike with good spec, the only thing I would like to see different would be disk brakes, is that an option?
