    Over 50's 2017 XDuro Trekking 4.0 Chronicles

    I don't have a ton of climbing. Most of the ride each way is pretty flat, but there are a number of short climbs that add up to about 800-850 ft of elevation gain. When I hit some of those, my battery usage goes from 1 or 2 bars to 100% when I move into tour or sport. There's also two trail...

    Over 50's 2017 XDuro Trekking 4.0 Chronicles

    With the mornings starting to get warmer, I am seeing a bit better mileage now. This week was the first time leaving around 5:50 and not having my hands be really cold, even with full finger gloves. I got ~47 miles on a charge on the last battery. I use two batteries so I can get a full run...

    I forgot to mention that I also changed the pedals. The stock ones were a little too small for me. I also started riding with the front suspension disabled, but have turned it back on and still have no problem being able to do the 40 mile commute on one battery charge.

    I just got my 2017 Xduro Trekking 4.0 a couple weeks ago at clearance pricing and am still making some changes and adjustments. Overall, I really like it. My perspective is a bit different as I am 6'6" and got the 64cm bike. I have added a Suntour SP12-NCX suspension seatpost, but haven't...
