    Trek Checkpoint Plus Range?

    It was a four corner circuit of just over eight miles each lap, so sometimes a block headwind, then side wind and tail wind. I may go over to the Trek dealer and see what the owner has to say. (Not a Trek owned store). They do make a spare battery for it that's 160 wh but it's probably 700...

    Trek Checkpoint Plus Range?

    This could very well be a "how long is a piece of string?" question. And if it is, I understand. I have an Allant 8s that I use for errands and the occasional zone 2 ride in-between my hard, non electric road/gravel bike rides. I'm considering a Trek Checkpoint Plus SL5 e-gravel bike but...

    Ode to the Trek Allant+ 8s

    I bought an Allant+ 8s Stagger for 2499.00 and feel it's a great value. As with anything, buying in when something is brand new always comes at a cost.

    Trek Allant + 8s Speedo Correction

    My speedo display is 1.9 mph pessimistic. Can the dealer correct it with software?

    Some thoughts on using an ebike for Z2 training

    It works. I have an Allant+ 8S that I use for around town errands and Z2 training days, especially after hard ride days. I also live where there's a hill whatever direction I go. I only use enough power to keep me in Z2 but do bump it up on the climbs. I opted for the Allant vs a an e road...

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    I'm one of the orginal authors of that training program, I first taught it in Dayton, Ohio. That's a good video, the training lasts 4 days, our school is 5 days. I still attend/teach at our school even though I'm retired. Truth be told, I stand around a lot. As to the TV show Pacific Blue, I...

    Trek Allant+ 8S Rear Derailleur Hanger

    Beside the Trek dealer, does anyone know where to locate a Trek Allant+ 8S rear derailleur hanger? Not the result of a crash, I want to have a spare given that it's not a UDH.

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    My career was at the Dayton, Ohio Police Department and I was fortunate enough to be one of the founders of this organization: https://ipmba.org/ Yes, there are many skills used in police cycling that make transportation/recreational cycling a lot easier. If you go into the "history" (I think)...

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    I went to the Trek site and downloaded the pdf for the display I have. It looks like the only display screen is the one that comes up. Not mentioned, but I'm guessing the left/right & select buttons are only active if you have a phone/app connected. I use the bike for transportation so...

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    My intention is to NOT ride without lights, I just want to know if they can be turned off. I use my headlight/flasher for my regular drop bar road bikes as well as a Garmin Varia taillight/radar, both are moved to the Allant when riding it. As far as riding without lights, I can't count the...
