Welcome, Dave.
I too am enrolled in the Empulse Great Wait.
And as valuable as opinions on this list will be for you, I also strongly recommend you find a dealer and go test ride some electric bikes.
I had my first ride a couple of weeks ago and, as a 40 year motorcyle rider, found it mind boggling. Like floating on a magic carpet.
So read here, but then involve all your senses. Enjoy!
