    Bike Rack for 2 E-Bikes

    Some decent racks out there... Thule Easy Fold 9032. Love it, as well. EZ to use!

    Newbie Question on Car Transport - How? Dedicated E-Bike Car Racks?

    Europe has different requirements for racks - they must have electric connections to satisfy their safety laws. The U.S. version of the rack does not require this, so they're not available here as I understand it.

    Newbie Question on Car Transport - How? Dedicated E-Bike Car Racks?

    I have the Thule Easy Fold 9032 and absolutely love it. I carry two e-bikes (Optibike and Easy Motion) weighing over 100 lbs. combined. The clamps are fully adjustable (and removable), they're lockable w/key, and I've found them to be extremely sturdy and secure without damaging our bikes.. I...

    Hey Group, I got my new Pioneer Allroad today.

    Jack, I don't have inside knowledge of why it takes them so long to deliver. That is a question for them. I was made aware of the lead time when I ordered. Mine arrived a few weeks later than they thought it would be. I've run a business myself for near 25 years and "stuff" happens to delay...

    Upgrade my Pioneer Allroad for harder trail use, or sell for Haibike?

    @Allroad Commuter Great area for riding - still looking very parched though! I know you could use some rain down there. I lived in Marin for a number of years back in the '80's and would hike the fire trails a lot. Miles and miles of them - perfect for our Allroads if I had one then. We have a...

    Upgrade my Pioneer Allroad for harder trail use, or sell for Haibike?

    @Allroad Commuter Nice video and upgrades. I installed a suspension seatpost on my Allroad as well (the Suntour) and really like the ride now. It takes the bite out of trail riding and really saves my back! I needed to use an adaptor, but it works perfect...

    Suntour NCX

    It took only 10 days to get mine from bike-discount in Germany (I'm in the Seattle area). I also ordered an adapter along with it so it would fit the post on my Optibike Pioneer Allroad. It fits like a champ, and now I just have to get the hex mounts torked to spec's to try it out. The...

    Mountain bike questions

    You might also look at the Optibike Pioneer Allroad. They had a special @ $2,500 when I ordered mine It's Mid-drive motor does hills and trails around Seattle fabulously, probably will work down in the Bay area for you just as well. There are recent upgrades than what are currently shown on...

    Ordering a Pioneer Allroad

    I just received mine and it's been all I was hoping for. Read the "Wait Time" thread to learn more of my experience. I haven't added anything to the bike yet, but have a suspension seat post on order. I'll probably get fenders (it rains here), and a rack and panniers for it as well. In the...

    Hey @Bike_On, thanks! Forks are SR Suntour XCR... I think @grench may have had them up-grade to a Fox fork on his new Allroad Pioneer though.

    Suntour Seat Post

    I just ordered one of these for the bike (actually, for me). Also ordered a shim converter so it will fit (size 27.2 to 30.4) I think my extruded discs are going to like it! http://www.srsuntour-cycling.com Really enjoying this bike!

    Wait Time...

    Thanks all. I found a couple hours to ride, and get to know my new toy a little better yesterday afternoon. I rode 22 miles R/T - mostly on the flats. I used assist level 1, and then 2 on the way back and still had 3 bars left on the battery gauge. It was awesome. Gonna' hit the hills next time...

    Wait Time...

    It took four months (ordered May 2nd), but Fed-Ex delivered my bike to my doorstep yesterday. Jim Turner was great, and he took the time to call me and help answer my questions about some of the changes they've made to the bike since I ordered it. There are some up-grades to the brake discs...

    I guess I should have qualified my answer a bit. I am riding some, but on my Specialized Rockhopper that I bought exactly 30 years ago this month. My wife and I each got one right after we were married and our two kids each took them off to college. Our son won't give his up, but our daughter...
