    Second-hand ebike business option.

    They just work with local shops or a mobile repair company most likely.

    Accell group goes bust; Raleigh, Haibike, Lapierre and others future in doubt.

    PON and Giant in terms of revenue, 3rd through 8th are all pretty close though so it's kinda a tie, 1st and 2nd are way ahead.

    Free e bike a very refined bike.

    Take it to a co-op if you have one in the area, I'm sure they can find a front wheel for it and it should provide someone transport who doesn't already have access to it.

    Thorn Season

    We're getting tons of goat heads here in Oregon on our rental bikes. Thicker more flat resilient tires combined with Tannus to the rescue!

    Trek is only a "big dog" here in the US, they get crushed in the rest of the world, where people actually ride bikes consistently.

    KONA has a new Ebike & it looks cool

    Who cares about a launch photo having some AI touchup? Glad to see Kona adding new models now that they're back with the founders!

    A re-volting experience!

    Ignoring the mysogonistic comments, why on earth would you assume a retail business would take your dead ebike battery? Did you call ahead of time or just read it on the internet then assume it applies to every location? The dump or landfill usually has a hazmat drop off day, out here in Oregon...

    Gazelle Ultimate T10

    Love the mileage and updates, nice work!! As far as your concerns for longevity moving forward, Bosch is a longstanding German company and what I mean by that is they're going to support the Gen 2 product for a long time. Sure you might not have the same display available (Purion) but there are...

    Recommend me handlebars with back sweep

    Try the stock Specialized Como bars from the older bikes, they're great. Otherwise FSA has a Metropolis bar that's got a good sweep.

    Why no Specialized e-assisted fat bikes?

    Having worked with over 20 brands, they just don't sell as it's a very limited marketplace. The folks that "think" they want a fat tire bike don't want to spend over $2k so any manufacture that builds a product that's serviceable, won't bother understandably. It's a void for sure, but other than...

    New , Gazelle Eclipse , Class 3 , Bosch Smart System

    Hell no they don't, there's been more and more e-bikes out there which is great to see. Anytime someone rolls up on an e bike I hop on the wheel, best draft out there!!

    New , Gazelle Eclipse , Class 3 , Bosch Smart System

    Trek Verve+ 3 or 4s vs Cannondale Neo vs Gazelle Ultimate 380

    The 6a charger isn't available in the US

    Trek Verve+ 3 or 4s vs Cannondale Neo vs Gazelle Ultimate 380

    We sell both Cannondale and Gazelle and I've had hands on more than a few Verve's. There's 2 different Gazelle C380's, the $4999 is the new Smartsystem version with a larger battery and more powerful motor (even though they have the same name) than the Trek Verve 4+. Also worth noting the belt...

    New year, new cargo ebike

    Never ridden an Ubco, at that point I'll just throw a leg over the KTM ;)
