    Derestrict your Bosch/Trek e-bike?

    I do not do any updates, there is no reason. My shop installed the dongle and do all of my service which has included new chains, cassettes, front chainring, new wheels, brake pads and rotors. No motor problems, although the battery life is slightly less than when new. I carry two extras with me...

    TREK TELLS DEALERS TO REMOVE ALL SUPER COMMUTER BIKES FROM FLOOR!!!

    Usually the first leg of the ride will be about 30-35 miles which I just make on the first battery, I change it and make it home on #2 or switch out to #3 if needed.

    TREK TELLS DEALERS TO REMOVE ALL SUPER COMMUTER BIKES FROM FLOOR!!!

    I ride fast, sometimes 30mph plus, the front chainring is equivalent to a 55 tooth on a conventional bike which gives me a bigger gear and with the 46 in the rear I can still get up the 16% short climb I do a few times a week.

    TREK TELLS DEALERS TO REMOVE ALL SUPER COMMUTER BIKES FROM FLOOR!!!

    I have used 3 chains, changed my front chainring to a 22 and replaced the rear cassette with an 11 x 46. I burn through front brake pads in about 4000 miles and always change the rear at the same time. I am sorry you are having so much trouble, my motor is not silent but it always runs strong...
