This E-bike is certified to UL 2849 standards. This is a 2024 500.3 Pace that features the newest Torque Sensor Drive which is smoother than the 500.2 Drive. The 500.3 has turn signals where the 500.2 does not. I assembled the E-bike and but 11 miles on it to test it. Garaged ever since. Comes with several $100 worth of racks and custom seat and suspension seat post. Torque Sendor Drive and turn signals are the two upgrades from the 500.2 and the 500.3 is the current Pace model. Step- through is preferred by many of the professional road-testers compared to getting on to a step-over model.
