Hi all,
due to us moving to a new (but more distant from my office) home, I am on the need of increasing my commute speed. As a bike lover, the ebike is my only option.
The route will be 14km with a couple of challenging hills (2km at 8 - 10%). I am doing it now with a normal bike and even enjoying the way but I spend too much time in the process of cycling, shower, working, cycling, shower... home.
Here are my main options:
A.- Stomer ST1 X: 800W CYRO Drive hub engine, 618 Wh battery for a price equivalent to 5'500 USD

B.- Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra 1000: Mid-drive motor Bafang 1000W, 960 Wh (48V 20Ah) battery for a price of 4'600 USD (shipment and taxes included). I would take it with normal street wheels (27" x 3), not the fat wheels.

Living in Europe, Switzerland, I am very concern about the warranty.
Stromer is well established here in Europe and they offer 2 years warranty (10 years in the frame) and I could walk in a shop and purchase the bike right away.
Biktrix offers me 1 year warranty in my local shop (at least I would not have to ship the bike back to USA if something fails).
Looking at the specs, the Juggernaut is much better than the ST1 X but I never saw one in the flesh. I see plenty of Stromer bikes and they are pure quality, looking like a really expensive bike attached to an engine. Sturdy, good looking and made for speed. Not making any sound even in the cobbles or bumpy roads.
What about the Juggernaut Ultra? Has anyone seen both?
I prefer the Juggernaut but the things holding me back are: Warranty, waiting after ordering and overall build quality.
Thank you for your help. I am a bit lost here.
