Thanks! I was going to ask about tire options. LeMond’s website says it comes with “700 x 38” tires but you can go up to “700 x 44.”...

Also, I should add: so far, I’ve really only mentioned the things about the Dutch I’m less than thrilled about or have concerns about. I haven’t yet mentioned all the other things I *do* like about it; there are many! She sure is pretty! And lightweight. And provides enough assist for the kind...

Picture attached. Best I was able to do right now: I carried it downstairs last night. (And one of the main things I like about it is that I can easily carry it up and down the stairs very easily/without it being a major upper-body workout. Even easier with one of these...

Interesting! Thanks. That’s very helpful. (Would’ve been nice if LeMond had also explained this to me with this level of detail…). Your description seems to be being borne out by my experience: after initially charging it, it showed 28 miles at 100% charge; after my first very brief ride a...

Thanks! Very helpful. I did actually also order the range extender for the Dutch; just wanted to make sure that I’ll be getting the range that I should be getting without the extender. Interestingly, I just took it out for a very short ride; when I got back, the app was now showing a slightly...

Wasn’t sure exactly where to post this since there isn’t a dedicated Lemond forum. Anyway, hoping for some input: I bought a Vintage Electric Cafe bike a few months ago and really enjoy it. I wanted to get a second e-bike both just ‘cause, but also because, due to some pre-arthritis in one hip...

I hear you: I’m “only” 51 years old and just beginning to give in to the reality of my impending decrepitude … 😂 In my case, liftin’ and totin’ heavy stuff still works just fine: but due to pre-osteoarthritis in my one hip and sciatica on the other side, I'm going to get a step-thru ebike as my...

Got it. I’d say that definitely sounds like a 2 person job to balance it while lifting: I wouldn’t want the risk of that much weight falling on me (or the risk of damage to the bike from the momentum of that much weight falling if it falls to the other side rather than on me). But: if you have...

I assume you’re talking about a floor jack for a car, like...

Thanks! Very helpful. With the battery removed, it would be exactly the same weight as my current ebike (a Vintage Electric Cafe) with its battery installed. So this is a very helpful frame of reference: there’s no way I’d regularly carry my VE Cafe up and down the stairs with the battery...

Thanks. Very helpful!

Does anyone know how much the Vado Step-Through IGH and Step-Through regular/non-IGH models each weigh and how much their respective removable batteries weigh? I was surprised to not be able to find these specs on the Specialized site or by Googling. (But perhaps I’m just bad at searching: I...

I mentioned earlier in this thread that if the bike’s manual and the battery’s/charger’s manual are inconsistent regarding charging procedure, I’d be inclined to follow the latter. I’m now doubting that, in that I’ve now come across a second instance (out of the two e-bikes I own!) where they’re...

I’m far from an electrician, but I’m willing to assume it matters, so one should do it in the manner specified in the manual for the battery and charger. There’s no harm in doing so; whereas there may be some harm in *not* doing so. In other words: I assume the instructions from the maker of the...

Apologies for the newbie question, but what exactly is a thru-axle and (more importantly), how do you know whether your front wheel has one? I know that my bike does because it’s in the product description, but that’s the only way I know. What I am wondering is whether my kids’ hand-me-down...

I have a handlebar mirror and recently also got a radar (Garmin Varia). If necessary, I’d use the mirror without the radar (as I did before getting the radar), but not vice versa. From my first rides with the Garmin yesterday and today, I am finding it to be extremely useful in combination...

I have been a photographer for many years, so I have an assortment of cameras for when I’d intend to do “serious” photography. On a bike ride where I intended to do serious photography, I’d take my Nikon Z7 because it’s the smallest of what I’d consider to be my “real” cameras (interchangeable...

Thanks. I should have been clearer in my original post: I did raise the handlebars just to see how it was done. When I saw the space that that left, I then returned the handlebars to their original position because I quickly concluded that it would be unsafe to use it that way. I also should...

Cool. Thanks, all! I’ll do some more research.

Thanks. Going back to my original question: assuming that I don’t want to switch the handlebars but just want to raise the existing handlebars, is a new stem result the only way to do it? Or are there rings/spacers/washers that could be used to raise it?
