So far I am impressed with the bike and the ride. I've got 150 miles in a week of commuting to work. The bosch system is nice and the sensors seem to mimic riding better than the other mid drives I rode. Less after pedal stroke acceleration, etc. I don't notice the noise after the first few...

Just wanted to say I am now a proud owner of a new Trek xm 700. I will post updates, thoughts and views once I begin the commuting trek later this week. I will use the bike for commuting to and from work about 30 mile round trip, starting early in the morning (5 am). I have been using a road...

Interesting, I hadn't thought of an overload situation, but again I have not done a lot of hard hill climbs on e-bikes so not sure what to expect. I didn't feel like I needed a downshift, but like I said I don't have a lot of experience with Ebike climbs, mostly long gradual grades. On that...

I went back for another test ride during the day to evaluate my first experience. I once again thought the bike was well put together and the step system smooth and easy to manipulate with the controls. Lots of good information on the lcd display that was easily found without much instruction...

Thanks for your riding updates. I too ride the W&OD in from Vienna to Arlington, with some city streets thrown in, and have been considering the same bike (Turbo X). I go back and forth about the Rear vs Mid drive, and as much as I want to love mid drive, the Specialized just seems well...

I have been in the market for an e-bike and thought I was settling on a hub drive. Tonight I just happened to be waiting to meet up with a friend and there was a bike shop on the corner. Decided to go in and look around while I waited. I wasn't interested in anything, but happened to see a...

Greg, I think the one thing you'll find is there is no "best " bike. They all have their strengths, but the shop will make the most of your experience. As I go down the same path as you, I always try to remember how I felt the guys in the shop treated me, and how good they were with their time...

I want to thank you all for taking the time to respond to my question. I now understand that I need to stop typing and just get a bike and move on, batteries are just one aspect. I really like the charger technology, so I've learned something new right away. I look forward to sharing anything...

First I want to thank everyone who contributes to this forum. Your experience and candid conversations are a big help to anyone (like me) starting this e-bike journey. I am looking to move my current commute of 28 miles (RT) from my normal road/MTB to an e-bike. As I go through the testing...
