    Hitch or trunk rack, and weight limits

    86, I'm confused. You said it is rock solid and holds the bike very securely, but then you said you had a big problem?

    Hitch or trunk rack, and weight limits

    And if I might ask, does anyone have any opinion to offer on the 1Up Quick versus the Saris Freedom? The Saris Freedom is cheaper, and is also carried by REI, which means if I have any problems I can return it (which is very helpful). The Saris says that it can carry 35 lbs of bike per slot...

    Hitch or trunk rack, and weight limits

    The Kuat NV 2 is 50lbs, so with just one ST1, the total weight would be over the 100lb limit. You are carrying TWO bikes, so either your mini has more hitch weight capacity, or I don't know... PowerMe or others who own the 1Up Quick - do you think it can handle an ST1? The weight limit of this...

    Hitch or trunk rack, and weight limits

    I found this, which is only 21 lbs, but not sure if it could handle the weight of an ST1 (without batter, approximately 57lbs). It says 35lbs per bike, so not sure if that is total weight for the rack, or per slot. Seems a shame to spend so much money for a hitch and then a rack, and not even be...

    Hitch or trunk rack, and weight limits

    Thanks Grench. I found this from my Acura owner's manual: Total Trailer Weight: The maximum allowable weight of the trailer and everything in or on it must not exceed 1,000 lbs (450 kg). Tongue Load: The weight that the tongue of a fully-loaded trailer puts on the hitch should be...

    Hitch or trunk rack, and weight limits

    Hi Everyone, Well I tried the method of putting the ebike into the trunk, and while it worked for one trip, it definitely isn't practical... having said that, I'm in the market for a hitch. Here is my dilemma: Trunk-mount racks are much cheaper; however, a 55lb bike seems like an awful lot to...

    Where should I buy a Body Float?

    Currently, the shop is out of stock on the Body Floats, so I need to purchase someplace else. Can anyone give me a suggestion on a good place to buy them from?

    Hi Irene, If you purchase from a local shop, they you can have the bike assembled there (which is what most people do); however, if you purchase from a shop that is not local and they ship the bike to you, there are a couple very basic assembly duties - attacking pedals, handlebar and front...

    Hi Irene, I was purchasing an ST1 Platinum, but they were on back-order. The shop was gracious enough to offer me a loaner, and I tried the eflow. The eflow is nice, but it is not fast enough for me. I am going to either go through with the purchase of an ST1 Platinum, or OHM XU700. Leaning...

    ST1 versus OHM XU700 or XS750

    The ST2 costs over $6K, while the OHM XU700 costs $4200. I am asking for comparison to ST1.

    OHM XU700LS versus XS750

    Ravi, is the XU700 more comfortable or something? Does the XU have any advantages over the XS? It seems the XS has a lot of advantages over the XU. thanks! By the way, when you say "nominal torque", do you mean that the added torque is not very noticeable/helpful?

    ST1 versus OHM XU700 or XS750

    Hi everyone, I am considering the OHM versus Stromer. I would like to hear your feedback/opinions in comparing these. The OHM seems to be lighter, better acceleration, and even more battery; yet, the Stromer is of course, considered better looking by most. Also, the Stromer seems to be selling...

    OHM XU700LS versus XS750

    Can you all give me your take on the differences? I want to hear overall differences, but specifically am wondering about the XS, which seems to have a lot more power, battery and other features, yet the XU is geared towards commuting. I want to ride a bike both for fun and commuting, but...

    Can't get up to 23mph - bummed out

    And by the way, I did my third ride, and plan to do a report with some nice pics, but just wanted to say that Hurley, you were right. I moved the seat up, and it gave me better leg strokes. It takes away from the looks tho! (unfortunately)

    Can't get up to 23mph - bummed out

    This is just me, but I welcome ALL opinions. In my humble opinion, I think that people fall into the political correctness trap too much, and always say something "nice", when largely it's meaningless and worthless. I was once told that the best friend you could ever have is someone who will...

    Can't get up to 23mph - bummed out

    I disagree JR. I'd rather people be honest and express themselves, versus being PC anyday. I don't mind if someone says they think something is ugly. That's their opinion and I want people's honest opinions versus PC bullshit anyday!! So when Adrian commented on the eflow, I had no problem with...
