I'm a fan of pairing a torque sensor with a hub motor. It sort of enables the world's best-shifting derailleur gears because there is no stress on them, up or down.

IMO when mentioning an e-bike is suitable for errands or commuting, you need to adress the question of fenders and cargo. Even if you live in a desert, you might want to keep crap from being flung up from the road onto your non-sport-specific clothing.

I recall from my days in college at Davis the large number of fellow students with a damp stripe down their back from the dew in the morning or damp roads after rain. Davis being one of the few cities in the US that was really set up for bicycles as primary transportation for residents. In fact, it was likely the only one.

Indeed, they do. Looks like the reviewer just failed to install them, or got an advance model that omitted them.

They seem to be optional extras for the most part. You have to order them to get them, but they were included in many Black Friday packages this year.
