I bet I sure would be! But, very sadly, class 3 are not legal is this country…absolutely ridiculous! I have thought about purchasing a class 3 ebike in Bellingham, Washington, but import fees, etc., let alone possible warranty issues, may pose too much a barrier. Would be really good to hear...

Hello, Sorry for my delay in replying. Thanks to all those who posted suggestions, I have been in touch with another Trek bike shop who thought that my experience was very unusual, to say the least. That shop suggested possible errors in the prior shop’s assembly and configuration of the Bosch...

Hi, Curious if anyone has purchased an ebike (class 3 = 28mph max speed) in the US and brought that bike across the border into Canada. Were import and tax fees applied? I know BC is the only Canadian province that has no provincial sales tax on ebikes. I am considering buying a 28 mph max ebike...

I forgot to add that I weigh about 225 pounds so that likely has some impact. Look forward to thoughts and suggestions!Thanks!

Hi, Returned my Allant 7 yesterday. I tried riding on various terrain for about 9 km (about 5 and 1/2 miles), shifting gears, but found climbing mild to moderate hills very challenging. I had to use Turbo mode and gear 1 or 2, with strong pedal effort to manage the hills, rarely going faster...

Thanks! I bought the Quik Rack single. Used to carry my Trek Allant 7 for approx. 75 minute drive from bike shop to home. Mostly highway driving. I used part of a pool noodle (too cheap to buy that cushion from 1UP) and it worked perfectly. I moved that small support rod to a lower position so...

Good you caught that. I am very sceptical about what I have experienced from a Trek Corporate store. First, the manager says the brakes were leaking and he gave me an upgrade with Shimano brakes (specs clearly show Shimano brakes), he tells me it was a lengthy complex job to complete that...

Thank you. I will be contacting Trek Corporate in Wisconsin. I have had positive talks with them before. If I confirm that the Burnaby, BC Trek corporate store has been dishonest in any way, they will face significant consequences. I have absolutely zero tolerance for any underhanded behaviour...

Hi, Just picked up my new Allant 7 from a Trek Corporate store this afternoon. However, upon arriving, the manager tells me that the brakes were leaking and, as a result, they de died to upgrade the brakes at no additional charge, to a Shimano brake. Seemed sketchy to me. Cannot recall if...

Thanks! But I did notice a small strap you also used across the fender thru the rack ‘pin’ or small rod that presses against the wheel. BTY, great looking bike and vehicle!

Hi, That looks very nice and quite a great deal. I notice your Ike has a rear fender. My million dollar question: it looks like you use a strap over the fender. Does that protect from any fender damage? Thanks!!

Thank you in beautiful Red Deer! Worked a year there as the School District’s Chief Psychologist before heading to beautiful BC! Great trails in Red Deer too! Thanks for your feedback. I, too, opted for the Quik Single due to the factors you cited. My only concern is being able to make the...

Hi, Curious about opinions regarding whether the Quik R Mach 2 is that much better than the original Quik Rack single bike rack. I am aware the engineer who designed the original Quick rack decided to open his own business and made improvements. I saw that Mach 2 rack earlier on a pick up truck...

Very true re the Velcro strap for the Quik Rack model. A 1UP staff member told me earlier today that as long as the wheel spools are above the 3 or 9 o’clock position (above the wheel axle), there should be no problem. I will experiment with a regular bike with fenders to test that.

Thanks for your vote of confidence! I likely would try your test using a really cheap bike!

Hi, A number of folks here on the ebike forums have clearly indicated the 1UP will work with bikes with fenders. 1UP has said the same. Adjustments to the support tire brackets are possible (to have the support piece/rod sit just below the fender)as well as the use of pipe insulation, etc., to...

Thanks! I doubt that Velcro strap will be effective. But, what a tremendous bike rack! I just hope I can secure my Trek Allant 7 without any fender damage! Thanks again,

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. Curious about what you mean when you say ‘black tabs snapping into the round cut outs‘. I have a Quik Rack single that has red and blue levers. Red used to raise the support brackets. Blue used to move the trays into and from their folded position. Sure would have...

Actually, I picked up my 1UP across the US border and brought it back to Canada without paying a cent for taxes or duty (American made). I guess I just happened to be very lucky to get a pleasant border agent who, when I told him I had a $350.00 bike rack, wished me a nice day! I had expected to...

Thank you.
