1. Try CUBE e-models , will be interesting to watch u test riding
2. Having time off here in Mexico so thought I would investigate Ebikes and my goodness, not one is a true touring bike. They say they are but none have front rack mounts nor bottle cages nor dual stands nor drop bars (for many more hand positions) and no figure eight handlebars, nor solar panels built in for recharging, nor proper wheels with decent tyres. What a sad state the Ebike market is in for tourers. I guess we will just have to keep peddling into our mid sixties without assistance. Maybe in a few years there will be something serious and economical on the market but for now I find the whole thing a big joke. Oh yes, the biggest joke is the EU who restrict power as does California so that is also pathetic.
3. Have the sduros arrived to us yet? I drove one, cross if i'm right. Didn't expect bosch like accuracy and smoothness of the yamaha system. I believe yamaha actually offers 10 nm more torque than bosch. I only weigth ~65 kilos~ so the bike felt like it was going to take off :D bosch powered xduros also cost at least 1000€ more.
4. I know a lot of the batteries cost around 300, pounds , but seem to only have a 12 mth , guarantee , my worry is how long do thay last on most E bikes , thanks . 
5. The SRAM Dual Drive gear system is excellent. I used it for many years on a bicycle which was eventually destroyed in a crash. I actually extracted it from the remains and still have it so I can put it into another bicycle some day.
   
   You get a very wide range of gears with the SRAM DD. That three speed hub is far wider than most front dérailleur systems.
   
   You can change those hub gears while stationery. It is so useful. If you are in a high gear at the traffic lights you can just change down to the bottom in the hub gears.
   
   That internal three speed hub they use used to be made by Sachs and it is one of the most reliable hub gears ever made. It will go on for thousands upon thousands of miles.
   
   You will see that SRAM DD in many European bicycles, it is a great system!
6. Finally, fenders! For practicality, keeping rain off your back is pretty darn important. And it's nice to arrive to work w/o squishy wet shoes. I love the MTB look with knobbies, and I'm wondering if fenders can be added yet still have a tough enduro look. To be picky,  that bike would look better in all black with those black fenders. And I say that even though most of what I see daily are black bikes. Helluva commute to work bike there ---the gear setup is really something. 
7. Another amazing Bosch system, they never stop amazing me with the technology they put into there drive systems. Love the colors they chose for the bike grey black and green.
8. This is yet again another overpriced gimmick. Anyone who is serious about touring would never want a bike like this. I swear they make this crap for stupid people who have too much money. This could never be used on a real bike tour. Too many unnecessary breakable parts, and what do you do when the battery dies 100 miles from an outlet?... peddal that thing up a hill with all your equipment on it? Yeah... right...
9. Man thats a lot of gears for a treking e-bike more expensive to build & complicated engineering more things to go wrong on the road why ?  
   I ride over 4k miles a year have been doing so for 5 years & only use 2 gears rarely shift gears. MTB bikes, regular road bikes need many gears i get that but most e-bikes  well no, $ best spent elsewhere .. Great video, keep them coming !
10. You are kicking the keys :O
11. Why do you say it has 27 gears? It doesn't. It has 9 gears! You have to keep the chain straight between the rear cassette and the front chain rings or the chain will come off. Saying it has 27 gears is very unprofessional, a bike has only has the amount of gears on the rear cassette.
