I saw your message regarding the Thudbuster. I tried that, it was just a bit too bouncy and I took court's advice in this sites review of the XM 700+ and got the BodyFloat, and I am very satisfied on the Raleigh I have. Downside it is $249 for aluminum as pictured, and even more,for carbon or...

So there are a thousand ways to look at cost, and therefore any way you compare is highly debatable such as my choices below to only compare at full assistance levels. I currently ride a 2015 Raleigh Detour iE and have on order a Trek XM 700+ (notified last week it is due in the second week of...

The Thudbuster seems to be mentioned in many of the bike reviews here and the BodyFloat is recommended in the Trek XM 700+ review. I thought the Thud Buster long travel version was my ticket. However in the long-travel version I tried you seem to have to alter your pedal technique a little to...

@Jack Tyler. Thank you for responding. Boiling it all down: Yes, I often require closer to 24 miles range which at 28 mph the Trek is disappointingly not likely to give me (and the closest Stromer dealer is NE Atlanta). So, here's the big question: will the Trek give give me 25-30 miles range...

I thought being 6'1" and her being 5'3" would do the trick. Nope, she rides mine anyway. We shopped for her a step through version of the Raleigh Detour iE, no purchase just yet.

On a steep learning curve as a new ebiker - appreciate your grace and patience as I have peppered this board with posts. Or if you can refer me to primer to make sense out of all the electrical stuff. THANKS! The Trek-only dealer I work with about 100 miles from me called for the rest of my...

How many miles/km have you rolled up on your ebike? Along the way, what have you had to buy? Tires? Cassetes? Chains? You name it?

We're arguably failing to advise within the price point of, "around $1,500." At the current state-of-technology, it is hard to imagine any bike at $1,500 I would want even at first-purchase; so ROI would really have to go up at that price point for me to have interest. Having said that, I'm...

I decided not to go today. I'm going to go on my regular Trek first, see what the vibe is, then decide. I bought my Raleigh ebike because of a neck fusion and I need to go easy, but I really like eriding and I ordered a Pedelic Trek yesterday that is due in between August and October.

Regen breaking is a technology in waiting with current 10% efficiency. But if u can do it without additional complexity and cost. Be sure to include shift sensor and break activated power cut off.

Bought a Raleigh Detour last week and went to the bike shop today and they had zero answers for transport beyond using traditional bike solutions while being mindful of the additional weight. Can someone please advise? Much thanks.

After spending a lot of time trying to call around to find a Class 3 Trek XM 700+ in stock which apparently is impossible, I decided to order one. Am advised that their July run is sold out in advance, they would strongly maybe get me one by August but for sure by October. The dealer is a...

So after buying an ebike last week (Raleigh) I reached out to the members' coordinator of a very large bike community here with organized rides most days of the month. To say I got a terse e-mail response would be an understatement. Are owner's of traditional bikes and more specifically the...

I'm the OP, great responses for a total newbie, thank you. I was able to get a new but close-out 2015 Raleigh Detour iE today for $1,699, so I thought that would be a good starter, I'll ride for a few months and then see if I want to step up to a Class 3. My last bike was a Trek 721 touring...

Buying my first bike, and in the reviews some bikes have sensors that reduce power during a gear change to reduce shock and stress to the driveline. Others do not. How important is this? And where in the review specifications can I see if a given model has this feature? What is it called...
