Love the Vala
My first Ebike. Really smooth, great motor, feels like down hill both ways. This is a fun wagon and makes me smile every time I ride it. The app is great and provides good stats and even a way to lock the motor against theft. Tires are grippy. Seat dropper handy- never had one before. Bosch motor is super powerful and I plow through sand and up rock gardens like I'm 20 yrs old. The only thing I don't like is the shifter because it's hard to find with my thumb on the small chain ring. I've had one that was push thumb and pull index finger that was more intuitive. I'm getting used to it.
