I’d recommend checking out Trek. When I first started considering e-bikes about a year ago, I reflexively dismissed Trek as too “generic”/boring; because they’ve been such a household name for so long, I just assumed their e-bikes would “decent at most things but not excellent at anything.” I...

Very helpful, thanks! One follow-up question: From your description, it sounds more like a “cruising” situation at moderate speeds with occasional/frequent slowdowns, depending on what portion of the trail you’re on. Does that sound accurate? Asking because it influences which bike I bring...

Hi all, In planning for an upcoming trip to Chicago, I came across info about the Lakefront Trail: https://www.bobbysbikehike.com/blog/chicago-lakefront-bike-trail-and-bike-rental-guide/ Although I’ve been to Chicago many (many) times and am quite familiar with the city in general, I’ve never...

Hi all, New owner of a Trek+ 4s low step here! If I understand things correctly, I have three official options if I want to increase the range for long rides: 1. The Range Boost battery; 2. The TQ HOR Range Extender; 3. A spare Powertube 500. Is that correct? If so, then I’d love to hear...

I just bought a Verve+ 4S. I wasn’t really planning to invest in another bike right now, just to test ride; but I lucked into a very steep discount and the 4S ticked a lot of boxes for me, especially after a test ride today (I was looking for many of the same factors as the OP). Will report back...

Hoagie: As a relatively new member, I too have found that there are a few very aggressive and unhelpful members who instantly jumped down my throat. They are few in number, but it can be very off-putting. On balance, I’ve found that the number of people who are helpful here outweighs the...

Following: I’m having the exact same issue with the exact same symptoms (different bike, though). I agree that since squeezing the brake lever stops the sound from happening (both on the OP’s bike and mine), the sound is related to the brakes. But what’s the solution?

And (no offense): punctuation would also help folks understand your posts better.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. The ST5 is on my “one day…” shortlist. Has anyone seen a link to a webpage with more words and details rather than just a flashing Instagram page? (Not criticizing the OP; social media just annoys me when used as the primary channel for companies to...

Thanks. Yeah, this is the way I’m leaning (no pun intended!). I think I’ll try very small incremental changes to try to get to a happy medium. I’ll first try lowering the handlebars just a little bit below the current height (but still well above the original height) by removing 1-2 spacer...

Interesting, thanks. When the handlebars were raised, I also replaced the stem with a Cane Creek suspension stem that was around the same length as the original stem (80mm, I believe). So, I could try swapping it out for a longer version of the Cane Creek since they come in various lengths...

Thanks. I will definitely keep this advice in mind. But again, so far, my experience has been the opposite: raising the handlebars even by a relatively small amount has noticeably decreased the particular back pain I was experiencing on this bike. In my case, I have chronic sciatic pain on my...

Thanks! I’ll try adjusting the seat angle and will also take another look at the angle of the break levels.

I may consider that at some point, but at least so far, the raised handlebars are accomplishing what I wanted to achieve in terms of significantly reducing lower back pain and discomfort. I’m not yet prepared to give that up. So, I’m looking for a way to keep those benefits while adjusting other...

Thanks for your responses thus far. Any thoughts on what I should try adjusting to compensate?

Hi all, I recently had the handlebars raised on my bike in order to have a somewhat more upright riding position (the bike is a Vintage Electric Cafe, if that matters). That’s working great in and of itself; but I noticed on my first ride with the new handlebar height that my position on the...

Here’s the manual for the PulsarOne: https://wilier.com/sites/default/files/pulsarone_eng.pdf I’ve also attached a screenshot of the page from the manual regarding firmware compatibility. Hope this helps!

Sorry to hear that! I just got a PulsarOne as well and it paired instantly with my LeMond Dutch on the first try and has worked flawlessly. My only complaint is that there is a noticeable lag - maybe 1-2 seconds - between changing the assist level on the PulsarOne and when the new assist level...

Because as you’ll see if you look at his post closely, his question is about a completely different bike: “I have also bought 10inch ape hanger bars. Now to install them on my new revi cheetah plus.”
