After owning one for a month, I just ordered another Gen 3 Stride.
Their sale is still on for anyone interested.
Using their coupon code on checkout, your cost will be $999 w/free shipping plus a complimentary accessory bundle. No sales tax either unless you're a Washington state resident, I guess.
I've been taking rides on the beach here - I think they are around 9 miles but will have to double check. I'm still not sure how to set the odometer - but just haven't really cared that much I'm having so much fun.
Hugh: you are going to LOVE your beach rides!
I'll probably just leave this second bike in it's box for now. Just wanted to get a second while the sale was on. Especially now that I'm sure that I like this particular model so much.

And here is a review from an independent party:
The only changes I made are a different seat, added a bar end mirror, and a speaker holder on the handlebar so I can play tunes while riding - which for me is very important!
