    Any Trekkers using a spare battery to extend your range and hows it working?

    Hmm, if not broken too badly, that handle has a spring that helps the top come out when the battery is unlocked. If you can unlock it maybe a plastic tire lever or wooden popsicle stick can wedge it out without scratching. Best of luck!

    How many miles do you have on your ebike?

    BTW, my Allant+7 has been completely trouble-free thus far and hasn’t yet needed a new chain or anything else beyond a tire. The Trek is used mostly for exercise/fun on trails of many types. We now own 3 eTreks, including my wife's Allant+7 Lowstep (mines a high step) and my recently acquired...

    How many miles do you have on your ebike?

    2k in 16 months. I’m hoping to double that next year but we’ll see.😉

    a warm bed and shower stuff

    Saw a couple of similar but none with that kind of lift or snorkel. The AWD would just be for winter/rocky road/ muddy conditions. Love our truck but it’s a it more work to lift bikes into than I prefer, and Father Time is only going to continue to make things harder.🥵 Hey, I’d be very happy...

    a warm bed and shower stuff

    Having just gotten back from a long road trip, wifey is now very interested in one of the tall/long travel vans vs a “normal” van. We saw hundreds of them similar the Ford Transit, MB Sprint, etc. etc. We are mostly wanting a basic model with AWD, to do our own thing so we could set it up to...

    Your fav trails in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming?

    Yeah, no. It’s yet another GREAT reason to have a good set of FENDERS!😳 Ya don’t want to get that kind of s*it-faced!

    What is the difference between an allant 8 and 8s? I'm not able to find a comparison even on Trek's site?

    IMO, these were not small updates and no bug fixes at all because none were needed. Only small change was an option to activate light on/off function. Just calling bs so relax.

    What is the difference between an allant 8 and 8s? I'm not able to find a comparison even on Trek's site?

    Depends on way too many factors. That said, wifey and I just did the Mickelson trail out of Deadwood headed south this last week. It’s about 15 miles uphill. Not huge steepness but pretty consistent. Our Allant+7 did very well for us old farts. When we needed to, we used EMTB or Turbo and no...

    Again, bs. Not small to get +10 nm update, and EMTB-Lite (Touring+ or whatever), EMTB are major updates albeit for just the CX.

    Obsolescence is an immediate phenomenon, the next big thing is always lurking. Anything you buy has a shelf life and pluses and minuses. The new system is completely untested in the real world and who knows what availability will be? Or cost? As someone with a totally reliable Allant+7 just...

    Odd..Mike's Bikes had orders cancelled by Specialized ???

    I guess it depends on a few factors like “is there a decent Spesh dealership anywhere near me?“, “will they give a crap about me/my bike?”, “do they have the quality and number of personnel to take on all these new customers?”, yada, yada. I’m sure you wouldn’t be bitching about this if it was you.🙄

    What is the difference between an allant 8 and 8s? I'm not able to find a comparison even on Trek's site?

    Not sure they make an 8, the 8s with PL Speed motor is all I’m seeing. The Allant+7 has the CX motor vs the +7s which also has the Speed motor.

    Your fav trails in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming?

    Yeah, actually yesterday (our last day) we met up with a whole bunch of folks along the trail riding the Mickelson Trek event! We went north (vast majority of them were riding south) from the White Elephant Trailhead into Custer, SD and back. About a 20 mile ride. Kinda cold and windy but great...

    And just in case you might be wondering what wasn’t great about the Mick…but, fortunately, just now and then!😉

    In your world if a Ford dealership went out of business, the Ford owner would have no warranty or recourse FOR THE EXISTING OWNERS. Unforgivable. Specialized is crapping on these customers.

    Your fav trails in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming?

    Whoa…didn’t mean to say we did the whole trail! We didn’t! We did the Deadwood to Mystic (and a bit further) section and it was a very, very long uphill! That said, the return was a great ride back with a lot of coasting or very easy peddling. We now know why most folks ride the trail from south...

    Your fav trails in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming?

    It’s a much higher topper than normal. I think the rear window opening is 41” but don’t remember for sure. I do have to lean it a bit sometimes. Frankly, I’m thinking of a way to slide the platform out to make loading/unloading a bit easier.

    Your fav trails in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming?

    I bought a ramp but didn’t bring it on this trip. I can do it (lift the 50+ lb Allants) without it but I have a pair of ramps for the future and other uses. The set I bought from Amazon are tough enough to load a JD lawn tractor in my Silverado. Certainly not $60 anymore...

    Completely irrelevant. Customers are customers and commitments were made! Time to get off the marketing and just do your travel logs.

    Your fav trails in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming?

    Spent the day finding and riding the Mickelson Trail out of Deadwood, SD. Normally the 109 mile trail is ridden from the south and ends in Deadwood. We decided to do the opposite and paid for it with about 15 miles of uphill riding and then turned around for mostly downhill ride back. Beautiful...
