I have a G16 and just bought the G1 ebike. Nicolai bikes look pretty average compared to the Pole but I like them better and their customer service is much better (Not that that would be hard compared to Pole).That's on the cards for longer time. Have a privateer 161 to get me through summer.
My brother replaced his Stamina with an anodized G1. Keen to check it out when it turns up.
I'm not sure if I mentioned it elsewhere but I ordered my Pole last October 19. Received it in January. Didn't ride it until February (Bushfires/ Floods).
Sent it back to Pole after 311km when it split in half riding up a road climb!
Received my refund in October 20 after emailing the FCA because Pole wouldn't return emails for 6 months.

It's a shame because the bike was a work of art but even if they fixed the under engineered frame I still wouldn't take one due to the way I was treated. Made me feel like I was doing something wrong even though they knew fully well there was a problem with their frames.
