I have demo ridden an Orox a couple of times now and its become my favourite bike! I use hybrid bikes around town and enjoy both MTB and EMTB riding, and i love how familiar the riding position is to an MTB. I was very sceptical when i first saw it but after a couple of rides i have really come to appreciate its capability. It has loads of power and the fat tires give an amazing amount of traction. The lack of suspension slightly limits what it can do but the bike's length and tire volume really smooth out the ride. I thought it would be horrendously slow on the road but its actually really easy to pedal even with the motor off as long as you don't go too low on the tire pressures. Given the minimal price difference to a GSD I'd get the Orox of you like to venture off paved roads, as it has the same carrying abilities but it lets you adventure into to hills. An EMTB with a trailer could also work, but somehow this bike puts more of a smile on your face when riding it!
