Thank you. I was unaware of the for sale by owner area. I will check it out and list it. Thank you, Dave

I purchased my Super Commuter S 8 in June of this year but need to sell it. I have lower back disk issues and have purchased a recumbent trike in order to keep riding. Are there any websites that are specifically for selling high end e bikes? Our any suggestions other than Craig's List? Your...

After all the great input from the members I have decided to pass on the Vado 6.0 and went ahead and ordered the Trek Super Commuter 8 today. I expect to have it next week and can't wait. Making a decision based on al the great information I received made that decision much easier. The...

Rich, You have nailed my concerns and I think with almost 100% certainty that Trek is the way to go. Dave

Great info from a knowledgeable source. Thank you.

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. Dave

Your wife sounds like a smart woman. There are a lot of great ebikes in all price ranges. Picking up a year old or carefully taken care of used bike can be a good thing, but make sure the battery is good. Good luck, Dave

Thank you John, You have just reinforced what others have told me about Trek and Bosch but I guess I needed to hear it again as I am Supposed to give the Specialized LBS my answer on Tuesday on the bike they have and what way I have decided to go. I test road the SC again today and the...

I have finally come down to making my buy decision between the Trek Super commuter 8 and the Specialized Vado 6.0. My hesitancy on the Vado is having read many of the issues on the discussion boards and don't want to have a bike which is constantly requiring me to fight for service from my LBS...

Hi Court, love your reviews. In your opinion if you could have the Trek Cross Rip Plus or the Giant Road E for your personal e road type bike which would you rather own and why? I am have a challenge deciding on which to buy as I am still not sure about the Yamaha motor although it is quieter...

Is there a significant difference in power with the Yamaha and Bosch motors to go from a bosch powered bike to a Yamaha powered bike?

I finally had the opportunity to ride the Trek Cross Rip and it was a smooth stable ride. The most noticeable thing to me was that the Bosch motor was quieter than the ones I had ridden a year and a half ago. I like the double click shifter and the more cushioned tires, although I think if that...

Thanks for your thoughts. If I go with the Trek I would remove the fenders and rack which helps lighten up a it. I would hopefully not use power all the time with either the Giant or Trek. Dave

Has anyone tested and compared the Giant Road E and the Trek Cross Rip Plus? I am considering an e road style bike and would welcome any observations on either bike, whether motor, ride or any aspect of either that might help in my final decision. I have not tested any as there are not many...
