I have a 2015 E3 Metro with over 1500 miles already. I commute 36 miles per day and use it for errands as well. This is my first e bike and I have not found any other e bike that has the tube battery, integral front and rear racks and it a normal bike size. Many of the other cargo bikes are meant to carry very large loads and the bikes are long and not really like riding a regular commuting bicycle, The Metro is great fun to ride just as you would a non e-bike. It shifts great, it is easy to pedal even without the PAS or POD modes on flat terrain. I have had very INTERMITTENT battery charging issues and this is the first year that the battery is 48 volts. Other than that change the bike is the same as the 2013 and 2014 models. My dealer has been fantastic about the battery issues and at this point since he is unable to figure out ( neither can Currie) why there are intermittent issues, I am getting a totally new 2015 bike. Maybe my first one is just a lemon as the dealer has sold many 2012-2014 models and no one has had problems. Regardless, I highly reccommend the Metro. If anyone else has had 2015 battery charging issues I would be interested in what the root cause is. Thx and good luck making your choice of purchase.
