    certainly don’t understand that marketing strategy! Terribly frustrating.

    Pays to be in the right place at the right time! I was in a bike shop looking at these bikes in Washington right before the rebate offer. Staff didn’t mention it. Guess it was a last minute promo.

    Yes there are Comos, 3&4. Vado 3 and some step thru. But not Vado 4. Low production perhaps? after many rides I agree.....a sweet bike either way.

    West coast mtns here on the north side of Vancouver but a river valley to the east where I would ride as well. Quite variable throughout the province.

    So you’d buy the 4 now for the wee extra battery? I live in mtn ctry so I would love to just settle for the 3 and its price pt......but.....

    yes indeed! Just spoke to a Giant retailer ( an hour away) and he said even warranty work would have to be done there. All swaps are extra cost inc. risers, stems and seats of course. Very little or no stock over all. Frustrating bike shopping right now! Thanks for your response. Now...

    Thx for your helpful comments. Rode the Amiti today and thinking of getting it. Hate the seat but I’m sure a replacement could be found elsewhere. Dealer (40 min away) said all service work incl warranty needed to be taken there or there would be a service charge for choosing a closer LBS. is...

    Really interested to know what swayed her to the Amiti. I keep waffling over these 2 and the Vado and a small local Canadian brand. thx!

    And forgot to throw the OHM Quest in the above mix.....although no step thru.

    What do you think of the Trek verve 3 or OHM cruise? Or is Liv better? I am befuddled by all the tech and specs and certainly not handy at fixes. I certainly would appreciate your help in sorting out my confusion. Remembering the Liv Amiti is a little weak on the wh? Liv Thrive I found to be...

    $6k! Mighty price to pay for a retired leisurely rider. And a fair weather one at that😄

    conditioning needs work and not riding as often as wanted......too many hills to get back home! poor west coast weather is a deterrent for sure. seems Vado 4.0 step through is sold out and no dates for incoming from warehouse and therefore no color choice😂 And we didn’t have the smoking deal...

    New Thread....don't know where to park my questions so I’m adding them here. Sorry for not following. Como vs Vado dilemma 3 or 4 for 50-60 k rides with hills and multi surface? Long ride up a steep hill to come home. Necessary to have more torque and Wh for this? Worth the $1000 diff? Like the...

    First 10,000 Kms on OHM's STEPS Ebike

    Thinking of buying a Cruise with the E6100 or Quest E7000. I Prefer the step through Cruise but I live in a hilly area and am concerned that the lesser NM may not be enough to get around for a 50 - 60 k ride and then home up a long steep road. Plan to ride mostly urban but include dirt/gravel...

    New Ebike (TREK Verve 3 vs Allant 7) & Racks

    Yes, Also feeling the pain of no available stock and rising prices and indecision! When riding the Vado vs the Como I feel the latter is more “sluggish”? I Like the upright position and the step thru very much. Haven't ridden the 5.0‘s though. Would love to hear more feedback from you on how you...

    New Ebike (TREK Verve 3 vs Allant 7) & Racks

    Thanks, I have done that already and had a couple of test rides. The difference in NM can be felt between the Cruise and the Quest on a hill for sure. Also Quest has the front shocks but no step through. Are shocks that necesary for mostly urban rides but some gravel and dirt trails? So trade...

    New Ebike (TREK Verve 3 vs Allant 7) & Racks

    Thanks Randall. Yes, I’ve been reading through many of the reviews and comments posted throughout. Interesting but adding more bikes to the mix adds more confusion! “Stick to the big three” is a common message. Dost certainly makes an awesome bike but that weight! Ohm makes the Cruise which is...
