Coast Guard Beach, North Truro, MA. 70 deg and not a cloud in the sky today.!

Same here. After almost a year of owning my e-bike, my brain is still confused since I've been riding motorcycles for more than 60 years.

I took a 20 mile round trip over the rolling hills of PA for breakfast at Spanky’s Restaurant in Newfoundland, PA this morning.

I just added an expensive Kody Technologies tail light to my already expensive QuikrStuff bike rack. 🤑 VERY sturdy and well integrated with the rack. It looks like it came with it IMO. It doesn't interfere with attaching the add-on ramp, folds nicely with the rack on the Jeep and for storage.

I feel the Super Moto's (NON X) are the best tires for a commuter e-bike. Fantastic on pavement, good on loose gravel, sand and grass - everything I run into and over on my rides.

I’m on my third set of tires in 10 months for my Allant+ 8S. The original stock tires, while very smooth on the road were a nightmare on anything slightly slippery (grass, gravel, etc). At about 700 miles, I replaced them with Super Moto X’s. While infinitely better on the slippery stuff, they...

I have had the same exact vibration feeling as the OP on my Allant+ 8S since new. At 900 miles (10 months old) it has gotten slowly worse. Not more vibration but it happens much more often now (about 50% of the time riding). I mentioned it to my dealer when the bike was only a couple of weeks...

Today. The new Norah Jones album is fantastic.

69 y/o here. I've had a Trek Allant+ 8S for eight months/725 miles and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. Mine is a standard but they also offer a Stagger, not quite a step though but lower standover height. Your requirement of 50 miles per trip is going to require a big battery, which is where a lot of the...

My 1996 Gary Fisher Aquila came with gumwall tires. Not really new at all.

How do you like the Tannus Armor? Is there any noticeable difference in the ride?

Too cold and rainy to ride this week, so it's more upgrades. 🤓 The stock Bontrager E6 Hard-Case Lite tires are great on dry pavement and treacherous on anything else. After weeks of research and reading reviews, I opted to change them out for Schwalbe Super Moto X's. I'm hoping they are almost...

For me it was the increased weight capacity and the completely no tools installation/easier adjustability of the Quikrstuff. I have family with the 1up and it is also a good product. The Quickrstuff is just a bit better IMO.

With the weight of your e-bike, you really should be looking at the the 1 up Extreme Duty or the Quikrstuff Mach2 IMO. In that case, the Quikrstuff is actually cheaper. Apples to Apples. I have been nothing but 100% satisfied with my Quikrstuff rack. Definitely worth the wait!

I know it doesn't help you but the Apple ecosystem works wonderfully with the Cobi.bike app and my Trek Allant+ 8S. Data goes right into the Apple Fitness and Health apps. Cobi.bike also talks to my Apple watch for heart rate info.
