Really appreciate your videos Hombre. Nice to have someone local doing e-bike reviews (we’re in Crest). Can you tell me how the narrow appearing bars, riding position, and overall comfort compare to riding the F5. Still shopping bikes for my wife and I. Thanks!
I'm in Alpine, so hello fellow East County San Diegan! The bars are pretty narrow (I actually forgot to measure them), but there are at least 3-4" narrower than the F5 Trail. The Moonrider has much more relaxed, upright seating position and I would say it more comfortable for longer rides than the F5 Trail. The F5 seating position is closer to a mountain bike seating position. I think that if you want to ride mostly roads then the Moonrider is the better option, but if you want something that can go on trails, then the F5 is better. The Superhuman Bikes shop is on Moreno Blvd, off the 5 (near the Costco); I highly recommend demoing both bikes. They're pretty laid back and will let you ride the bikes around to test them out with no hassle. Thank you for the comment and say hi if you see me around!
When I tested it out the bike had a 10 speed Deore, you can see the derailleur at 1:13. It looks like Superhuman has changed components since this review, which is a bummer since the Deore is much better than Altus. Thanks for the heads up and a great catch too.

The Superhuman website specifies 10 speed Shimano AltusYou said Deore. Which is it? Other than that confusion,thanks for your fine review.
