    Switching to the Allant + 7S

    Get the Bontrager stem riser that @Dallant recommended earlier in the thread. Also, I noticed your grips are parallel if not tilted slightly downward. Rotate them up further (towards the sky), this should eliminate the wrist pain together with the adjustable stem riser you should get. You’re...

    How many gears do you really need & use?

    I use all 10 gears on my trek allant8s. On my two analog bikes both with 44-32-24 (30gears but 27 usable) 610% range, 11-36 cassette and I use all 27. I think how many gears people need very much depends on where they live and/or the geography they ride in. I live in Greece so I need a very...

    Chain lube?

    Squirt wax lube is the best imo. Lasts longer than dry oil based lubes, keeps drivetrain mostly clean and no degreaser needed when re-applying.

    Brand new Bafang BBSHD loses power

    No surprise because you get what you pay for. Bafang motors are notoriously unreliable and usually only last about 200 miles.

    HELP: Trek Allant 8S or Cannondale Tesoro Neo X 1

    Yes I have. I broke it twice the same way. My phone hasn’t flown out but twice I tried to pull it open to take my phone out and I used to much force and snapped the springs broken. I was able to source replacements both times for 30€.

    HELP: Trek Allant 8S or Cannondale Tesoro Neo X 1

    You would be better off with the trek 8s. It would be more reliable than the cannondale and imo it’s the better e-bike between the two. My allant8s has 2500 miles and has been reliable with no issues to report. My only complaint is that the stock Bontrager front headlight gets too hot when it...

    Warning about Eunorau

    Sounds like a bait and switch like you said. Have you contacted your bank? It’s possible to get your money back based on faulty/ wrong product.

    Using throttle to help the bike up stairs?

    I do exactly that when I bring my allant in the underground metro when the escalators aren’t working. Never had a problem and it works quite well since I can choose which level assist to use. Just keep in mind on shallower staircases and with a mid drive motor to avoid bashing your pedals into...

    Get a good helmet, and wear it.

    That is what the Belgians say. However they have the best and most cycling infrastructure I have ever used in any country, Netherlands included. Nearly all cycling lanes, roads are isolated from vehicle traffic. Their helmet use is at most maybe 5% of riders (e-bikes & analog). Personally, I...
