It's a fantastic electric bike; strong assist all the way to 28mph (Class 3) and the battery seems to still be in great shape to me. I am able to generally do my 20 mile commute distance at medium assist level and only use about 40-50% of the battery capacity (which is basically identical to how it performed years ago).
It's otherwise great for commute purposes; it came with factory installed fenders, a rear rack, and head and tail lights (the headlight is good enough to ride at night without any other lights). I think it's also pretty fun to ride, with snappier handling than a lot of the newer fat electric cargo-focused bikes. The wheels are standard 27.5 rims running 2" tires, though the frame would support tires that were somewhat wider, if desired.
The odometer says it has about 3100 miles on it. It has performed flawlessly for me in heat, rain, and in freezing temperatures. The tires also seem to be pretty robust as I've not had a flat on it since I've owned it.
Not pictured, but I also have the owner's manual, keys for the battery (it can be removed or left on the bike to charge), and the charger.
