I can't speak to the Trek bike but I have a Cannondale (Tesoro Neo X 3) and absolutely love it. Did you get to test ride the Cannondale yet?
I haven't had a single regret about the Tesoro and enjoy it immensely. It has the Performance Line Sport motor and a smaller battery (500w) than the...
I have a different Cannondale but did the upgrade from Purion to Kiox - I posted about it in this thread.
It was 100% worth it to me and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Having the current time, current riding mode, light status, and battery percentage always visible at the top of the screen is...
This Purion came on my Cannondale Tesoro ebike, which I purchased new at a local bike shop in July 2022. It was on my bike for about 550 miles (until late September 2022) when I upgraded to the Kiox computer.
I had no problems with the Purion whatsoever, I upgraded because I wanted to see...
To close the loop on this, I finally got the Kiox installed. I was delaying because I was having too much fun riding and didn't want to have my bike out of commission!
The Kiox retrofit kit from REI was $260. My LBS charged me $30 to switch it out from the Purion. They said they did NOT have to...
I completely misunderstood your post. My Kiox arrived after I made that post above and I now see very clearly what you mean. Good luck finding a solution!
I'm about to get a Kiox (it arrives today!) and was looking around for accessories for it and came across this stem mount on ebay:
Avoids the bars altogether. I'm not affiliated with this seller and haven't purchased this myself but if it helps, it's here.
I think you're both right about them not counting on dropping the motor, @BlackHand and @fooferdoggie. Well, the Kiox will arrive next Wednesday and I'll call my LBS after that to schedule it and will make it clear to them that the motor needs to be dropped. Hopefully they'll give me a better...
I ordered the Kiox retrofit kit from REI and it should arrive next week. My LBS said they'll charge $20 to install it which sounds absurdly low. I'd been assuming it would require dropping out the motor from everything I'd seen online about the process, but maybe it doesn't – I can afford $20...
I recently got a Cannondale Tesoro Neo X 3 and absolutely love it but the Purion display doesn't offer as much as I'd like. I'm thinking of upgrading to the Kiox display. I'm going to ask my LBS where I bought my bike how much they'll charge to do it (I know the upgrade kit itself will be around...
Thanks for the info! I'm going to take a closer look at that bag for my bike. The rack on my bike is made by RackTime and they have their own quick attach system. I think I need to make some decisions about which quick connect system I'll go with...
Nice bike! What's the bag on your rack and how do you like it? I have a basket for my rear rack but am thinking of getting a bag for farmer's market/shopping runs.
Hello everyone! I'm very new (2 weeks) to the e-bike world and love it so far! Coming from a non-electric Electra Townie cruiser, my new Cannondale Tesoro X Remixte is a total blast (I wrote a first impressions review in the Cannondale sub-forum). I wasn't entirely planning on buying one but my...
This EBR review was super helpful for me!
This was somewhat of an impulse purchase – my boyfriend recently bought an e-bike and keeping up with him was challenging on my non-electric 2018 Electra Townie cruiser bike. I originally thought of just buying Electra’s latest e-bike version of the...
Sciggy wasn't bashing the manufacturer at all, in my opinion. I agree that this forum wasn't the best *first* place to seek out help but Sciggy's response indicates that this was posted in tandem with reaching out to Cannondale/bike dealer.
Sciggy, I'm glad you're getting help for this and...
