    How wrong am I?

    Once I perfect my Time Machine, first thing I’ll do... well, maybe second. Check that, third. Nope, fourth. Fourth for sure!

    How wrong am I?

    Just shopping for a bike during lockdown is going to be a challenge. Verve+ 3s don’t seem to be out in the world. Many LBSs are flat out closed. Some are open to do repairs / maintenance only. The ones that have hours require appointments, physical distancing, and antiseptic wipedowns before...

    How wrong am I?

    You are clearly a terrible person, Alaskan ;). You're 100% right in that I don't know what future-me will think of the decision I make. That's why I'm here. And then you go upsetting me to the next model up? Sheesh! My money is not safe around you. It does look like there are some nice upgrades...

    I don't foresee a need for speed in the kind of riding I anticipate, so Class 3 isn't tugging that hard on me. I like the Abus key-to-like system for battery and locks.

    Is there any reason to worry that there are/will be places/paths where Class 1 is allowed but Class 3 is forbidden?

    How wrong am I?

    I'm jumping back onto a bike after too many years away and love the idea of an ebike. I've been binging reviews left, right, and center because I'm so out of the loop in terms of knowledge. I'm finding myself attracted to the Trek Verve+ 3. I hope to do some commuting, bike path riding...

    2020 Trek Verve +3 BRAND NEW on USA Website

    Are Verve+ 3s making it out into the world these days? I’d love to hear what owners think, pro and con. Does anyone know how the COVID shut down is affecting Trek’s manufacturing?
