The belt drive/vario is a revelation, 1000s of miles with no drivetrain maintenance, no rusty chain, for a functional ebike you can’t beat it. Nexus is a bag of shit and if you get the city you get a weaker motor as well. Met a very “large” woman who had bought an e cargo from elsewhere with belt and vario, 15000km of schleppin her kids to school and doing her Asda big shop, no drive train maintenance. Add up the cost of chain/cassette and the cost difference is palatable.
