Thanks to all for some areas to check. I’m going to make a list of all the ideas and see if I can narrow it down a bit more. I’ll post my results and maybe it will sound familiar to someone and help me pinpoint the problem. I’m no expert when it comes to bike repairs so it could very well be...

I recently received my new Rover. I’ve put about 50 miles on it so far and overall I’m very satisfied. One minor problem.....There Is a high pitched squeal/squeak coming from the front wheel. It’s not the brakes. I’ve eliminated them as the source. The sound is mainly evident when I’m pedaling...

I bought a medium for my wife. She’s 5’9”. It’s perfect for her. I’m 6’ and it’s a nice size for me as well. At 5’4” I’d make sure you tried out both sizes before buying. Seems to me that the Small would be a better fit. Enjoy!

Hey Curious, im wondering how this bike does on hills. I’m a bigger guy...6’ and about 230#. I don’t want to find out that I’ve bought a bike that I need to walk up the hill nearby that I’ll be needing to go up regularly. How were your experiences on steeper hills? Thanks!

Thanks very much for the links. I like what I see with the Evelo. Do they ever go on sale?

I’m looking for a belt drive Ebike. im not finding many options. Specifically I’m looking for a cruiser type bike with a throttle. I can go with a step through or not. I’m familiar with the Giant LaFree E+1. Are there other options out there?

Any recommendations? Has anyone used the ones that are on the Giant website? Thanks very much

Great replies. Thanks to everyone. I live in the Phoenix area and have no plans to leave the battery in my garage which routinely gets over 120-130 degrees in the summer. I keep the batteries for my leaf blower and hedge trimmer inside until I use them. That said, I really never planned on...

I finally pulled the trigger and bought an Ebike. I bought a Giant LaFree+1. I picked it up yesterday and after getting everything finalized, and as we were loading it into my car, the guy tells me to never leave the battery charging overnight because it could catch on fire. With everything I’ve...

I was fortunate. They only had one bike left and it was a medium....perfect size. Thanks!

Well, I saw the Lafree+1 this morning and took a nice ride on it. Pretty impressive. This bike has just about everything that I think is important. I like the belt vs. chain especially. I put a deposit on it pending taking my wife to make sure it’s a good fit for her. The LBS was great! I knew...

Just checked it out. Nearest dealer with one in stock is 311 miles away. Sucks.

I guess that’s another reason to check out other Giant dealers. The owner was pretty clear that he doesn’t like to stock Ebikes because he has difficulty selling them. He had one Ebike in stock. He did offer to order one....of course...but never offered to do it unless I was going to buy it. I’m...

Thanks very much TB. I’m actually going to head off to a local Giant dealer this morning. Their bikes are a bit more expensive than the ones I’m considering but I would feel much better developing a relationship with a LBS so maybe the added cost will be worth it just for that peace of mind...
