Good for you... I also liked my GNG during the first two trips...
Two trips is nothing to evaluate longevity; so when you have at least 1000 miles of combined commutes with weekends going offroad towing stuff without having to repair a single thing then you might start to have a point... Good luck with the GNG. Just wait until it snaps, which it will, then you're SOL... seriously dude, try a Cyclone 3000W, replacement parts are available, it has a better crank, better Bottom Bracket, countersunk screws; it will blow the GNG away in overall quality, its smaller, lighter and more power with a lot less stuff hanging out to break or get corroded by salt.

Some people are asking some feedback on the new GNG 2500W kit. I just bought this kit and tested it for 2 trips.
Well, compared to the GNG chain reduction kit (installed on my "week bike") the quality is excellent. No chain slip, no wobbling effect of cranck, chain tension is perfect.
For instance the BB mounting and upper mounting are strong: no movement of motor when starting.
Moreover, the controller provides high RPM fitting the big reduction ratio => with pedal assist, top speed is about 50km/h.
The torque is enormous too, (For comparison, it's better than gear reducted hub motor as I can select the good bicycle bracket speed). I'm living near mountains and i can say that climbing ability is excellent. On flat road, when throttle is turned to the max, the bike tends to make rear wheel (sorry for my poor english level).
the belt is very wide (25mm), well tighten and seems to be very strong. But It needs to be confirmed with time.
I use a Lifepo4 battery 16s 10Ah+BMS 60A/150A, in a backpack, the range is good: it easily allows a trip of 25km with hills and with electrical assistance.
Now, about the aesthetic criteria, the orange and alu color are pretty well and gives very look to the bike.
at the end, GNG provides an excellent and affordable mid drive kit!
