This will be my 3rd Ebike
Previous were all giant talons, chain driven and maintence was time consuming
Looking at the belt driven option as a maintenance free-less option than the chain
Bike is used 99.3% as a commuter to and from work all year round in the PNW
25km round trip a day, 30mins each way

On my commute I have several hills to climb, 8% grade for about 1km is the longest, while the others. Are nothing to complain about

Soltera owners, my question is how is the bike on steepish hill climbs? Slow? Kill battery? Walk? Wish you had a different bike?

Thoughts?

Purchasing a FWR LR,
Any suggestions on seat covers?
The $3,000 upgrade to the sport is been toyed with but only really for the faux leather seats, so ideas-suggestions for seat covers so appreciated.
