The Priority Current (review here) is close to what I want:
The only other ones that seems to tick the same boxes are Gazelle Ultimate C380+ HMB, which uses a Bosch motor, and the Serial 1 Rush-Speed which uses a Brose TF MAG motor and manages to cost even more.
It would be to replace this bike:
Things I Like about my current bike:
Things I don't like:
Here is the question, can this (or the serial 1) be readily modified to use a throttle?
I use this e-bile for daily commuting. Very simply, I have found that even with pedal assist on high wind days, the throttle helps.
Plan B is to take a steel bike that started as a single speed (in order to get rid of the spring assist idler for taking care of the chain slack) and try my first big welding project in cutting the frame for a belt and installing a BaFang Ultra. Of course, when I am done, I am still at the "science fair" project bike look.
- Belt drive
- mid motor
- hydraulic disc brakes
- reasonably clean looking
- Comes in a variety of sizes (Important to short riders)

Things I Like about my current bike:
- NuNinci drive (I added it, not stock)
- 26" wheels ( I added them, not stock)
- TSDZ2 Motor ( I added it, not stock)
- throttle ( I added it, not stock, I had to replace the controller in the TSDZ2 in order to make it work)
- hydraulic brakes
- Gearing changes have allowed for 20-23mph
Things I don't like:
- at 20-25 mph in no wind conditions, it is still slow
- it looks more like a project than I would like
- Chain drive, I have had a belt drive bike and I was sold on it
- I just don't really like it
