I ordered a ‘special order’ Escape with clutch almost 2 months ago.

  In the meantime, they have decieded to make a regular production ‘R’ and now they have released it.  I will likely get it in a month (in the States, shipping is slow).  Can’t wait!

Cool, please get some videos once you've got it - I'm curious to see how it rides! (though there's no way I could afford one any time soon ...)

I most certainly will be doing some videos.  

   I’ll try it out on the super tight/slow ‘trails’ I like along with some more open ones, even a bit of road.  Range will be interesting too.

 Any news?

  Last I heard, Savannah Oct 24th.     Slower than I hoped...but it will get here.  I ride all year long, so not as critical as someone that cannot.

I extracted the info from my GPS on the first ride.
  total distance, 15 miles
average speed: 5.5 MPH
moving time: 2 hours 42 minutes
4,035 feet elevation gain and loss

Much of it was very slow, tight trails, but also gravel road connections. the end was a quite steep road hill
  I started with 100%, ended with claimed 15% (I rather think that really meant not much further).

EM says 10 cycles for full range and the cold could loose easily 20%.  also no regeneration for this ride.
  I maybe could have gotten 3 hours if I did some more trail riding, add in more for warmer weather and regen- looks pretty decent.

 

I have not taken it off for the second.  (Hope to get up tomorrow too)
