    Newbie to EBikes - Bought a Giant Quick-E + 2018 from Canada

    I used to do run a lot of races. I loved trail running especially. Started having problems with my feet and hips so I switched to cycling. Stress relief and fresh air are my motivators.

    Newbie to EBikes - Bought a Giant Quick-E + 2018 from Canada

    Congrats on your purchase. I just purchased my first ebike after much research. My miles have fallen off in recent years. I hope to reverse that trend and get back to commuting again.

    For those who still have both?

    I’m getting ready to purchase my first ebike and I look at my Surlys sitting there in the shed and wonder if I’ll ride them again. I’ve considered converting them but I’m not sure I’m qualified for such a task and troubleshooting it if there is a problem. I like the look of a integrated ebike...

    Is the trek xm7000 worth the 1200 premium over the verve+

    I’m asking the same question. Is the super commuter worth ($1,500) over the Verve? Seems like a lot of money for a small gain.

    11-42 on a Trek XM700+

    I was thinking the same about the Trek Verve. Change the cassette to 11-42. I don’t care much about the high speeds but having climbing gears is nice. The Verve isn’t high torque but with the right gears it could be.

    Theft prevention with Purion

    What insurance did he have if you don't mind me asking? Has me scared spending thousands on an ebike! Thanks

    Handlebars Purion

    I’m about ready to purchase an ebike that comes equipped with Bosch Purion Performance computer. I’d like to possibly change the handlebar to a Jones H bar that I have sitting around. They are both 31.8 stems. Is this something I can do myself or are there special tools needed for the Purion...

    5000 miles, xm700+

    What kind of mileage are you getting from a charge and what modes are you using the most? I’m about to purchase my first ebike.

    Quick-E+

    Good information on this thread. I’m seriously considering a Quick E to help with the hills around here. I really like the looks of the 2019 model. The lbs has last years model marked down a few hundred dollars but I’m not crazy about the double crankset and it’s not quite my size. It’s almost...

    Choosing first ebike

    I've been considering an ebike for a couple of years. I've test rode a few just around the block. I used to commute 15 hilly miles each way to work but it was tiring after a couple of days and it took too darn long. I only average about 10-12 mph on my current bike. I also love to just get...

    First 280 miles with my new Trek Verve+: LOVE IT!!!

    Good read. I’m seriously considering the Verve for my hilly commute. My commute is 15-17 miles one way or 32 miles round trip. Also like to just cruise around the neighborhood. I’m pretty slow on my steel road bike. I only average 10-12 mph. I’m hoping an ebike will help with the wind and hills...

    New E-Bike for aussie to commute to work around 60km round trip

    I’ve been saying for years that cars should sense the speed limit and that’s as fast as you can go. This would be relatively easy to do as you said. I guess when self driving cars come along the speed limit will be obeyed.
