I wholeheartedly agree I should have followed the Brooks Rule. I was just saying that in my ignorance for the first 2 weeks I shredded The Brooks Rule into little pieces and -- so far -- my saddle is holding up OK.

I'm having the same experience with the large ThudBuster and the Brooks aged saddle. I love the combo. Because I did not RTFM, in my ignorance I broke Brooks Rule by soaking the brand new saddle inside and out with Lexol "new style" Neatsfoot Oil. It darkened the saddle to medium brown...

FWIW, pre-aged, well oiled Brooks and full range Thudbuster make for a very comfy ride on my 2015 Pedego Interceptor III.

I am ordering the 2" hitch single. A brilliant, simple design. Retiring my original 100% serviceable heavy steel Sport Rack 1-or-2-bike carrier (essentially same as those used in front of commercial buses).

My pre-buying research and subsequent riding experience with my 2015 Pedego Interceptor III in steep Santa Fe NM is the same as yours with the Pedego City Commuter. Enjoy!

What is that cable entering what appears to be the gas tank?

Santa Fe's steep grades around my home pose no problem to my 2015 Pedeco Interceptor III's 500W geared rear hub motor with (edited) 48V10W battery. You can pay $350 for an optional 48V15W battery. If you take longer rides on hills, it might be worth it. I'm 86, weigh 165 and my bike weighs in...

Well said. We agree. I apologize to the forum for any over the top remarks.

I'm done. Continue providing your "wisdom" to those who are persuaded. If I need one, I'll be comfortable spending $3K for another Pedego. I guess I am stupid at age 86, after a lifetime owning quality, pricey toys.

The UHaul recall is for "trailer hitches" that tow trailers.

Again, to me a list of issues with any electro-mechanical product and brand is no surprise. My wonderful $55,000 BMW 335i convertible had every fuel injector replaced under warranty at 5,000 miles. So what? If you think a Pedego is especially susceptible to flaws, that's OK, don't buy one...

FWIW, my Interceptor III is great on the numerous hills in and around my home in Santa Fe NM. IMO, YMMV, I believe Power me's list of Pedego "issues" would be similar for any similarly priced brand. Some items are truly trivial. To each his/her own, I guess.

"The pedego bikes IMO were not designed for heavy people." Perhaps. I bought several recumbent high racers and near-custom "team' hybrids @ $3500-$5000 and every one of their warranties specified no rider over 225 pounds. However, Pedego claims the Interceptor was designed to be a police bike...

I guess I don't dislike the wide handlebars enough to go to the trouble of changing them. ;=))

"The Pedegos are nice bikes but far from solid. I rode these bikes several times and felt like I could pull the handlebars off. The frame flexed when I got up on the pedals. Understand I am 300 lbs." I am 165 pounds and 5'9" and the bike is rock solid. " ...every day I read about problems with...

The handlebars are the only shortcoming of my 2015 Interceptor III. It's a very comfortable, powerful, fun bike, although a bit large. Unfortunately I was not given a choice of handlebars when I ordered mine online and changing them out is a piece of work. I have no nearby e-bike dealer.

That's a ridiculous statement. Risk of a lawsuit especially in this instance is a FACT. Anyone can find a lawyer to sue anyone over anything, anytime. In this case the manufacturer is really exposed. As a newspaper reporter I covered hundreds of trials . Lawyers can and do twist and stretch...

If a rider is seriously injured or killed due to that failure, Thudbuster is looking at a multi-million dollar lawsuit.

Re: your Dad. After serious running, biking and swimming for 40 years, at age 70 I got a trainer to show me the right way to do weight machines. I've been doing 15 machines 3 times a week ever since. Keeps me limber, balanced on my feet and reasonably strong. FWIW, I followed all the strict...
