Specialized Como 3 IGH vs Giant Dailytour E+2 LDS

[Baltiplus]

Hello,
My dealer offers me these two bikes and I don't see any particular difference, even less having tried them out (you can't form an opinion on a flat road and 500 meters) because I don't know much about them...
50Nm / Belt / Hub
The Giant is a bit cheaper (and has a sabot lock), a suspended saddle I think and the handlebars seem to be a more standard model but apart from that, I don't see how to choose one or the other. What do you think?
Thx.

You might want to Google each bike asking the question, what are the known problems and complaints. I do know people with Giant's have turned up here trying to find help for odd bugs and glitches. You can also pick a random part and see how easy it is to find in your area, that's another problem folks in the EU run into.

Hello,
I've read some reviews but it's hard to decide. By the way, I was able to ride both (1 kilometer, not at the same place). The Dailytour has a suspended gel saddle, making it easy to add accessories. But I was "tired" after the ride like..."Okay, I'm going faster (22-23 km/h), but it's not that easier than a traditional bicycle". The Como 3 was a little bit slower (more 20-21 km/h) and the motor (50Nm, as the Dailytour) seemed to help more. Is it possible ?

My concern is just longevity and durability. Whatever you choose, you won't be happy if you're back here in 6 months saying, "why doesn't my bike run".

Aren't these brands well-known and sure ?

With the mass produced sophisticated Ebikes I have found parts and repair are never that sure and you are in Belgium. Giant Ebikes have had problems with water ingress, although, that may have been improved. I do like their list and availability of parts though. If you go looking for Specialized parts you will find mostly, a lot of people's frustrations. Look up the problems and look up the parts. I'll post a pic of the Giant's page. I was actually impressed. If they are willing to stock every bit of wiring harness and every little gasket, for your particular model, then they are backing their product. It is all just something to consider.
