    Juiced Bikes 40 mph!!

    IMHO: these are the ebikes that will get us banned from bike trails. Bike trails, bike paths, and bike lanes should be 20 mph max and no hand or foot throttles; pedal - assist only.

    Where Is The Perfect 2019 Commuter E Bike?

    Reminds me of the old three speeds. If that is the bike you want, I am sure they will ship one to you. Maybe you can get one from Canada.

    Where Is The Perfect 2019 Commuter E Bike?

    Short Answer; the market is saturated with bikes that look the similar and fill the same role as this one. It does not really bring anything new to the table.

    I bet they would.

    Quick E+ US vs CDN 28MPH/20MPH?

    The dealers can program a top speed assist limit on display bikes for customers to try out so it would not be much of a change to increase assist at higher speeds.

    How much of your overall exercise is by riding an ebike? What other exercise do you alternate?

    I run occasionally. Most of my exercise is commuting; about 29 miles RT a day. Saves me about $50-$60 a month.

    Actually, ebikes will get you much LESS exercise

    I agree. When I first read the post, I thought, "There's a 20% discount!" I would use it for all it's worth. Might even get it delivered.

    Actually, ebikes will get you much LESS exercise

    One possibility: you could order the Giant online and then they would send it to that dealer and then the dealer would have to prep it for you. Maybe Giant would send it to the local Pedego shop. Just a thought.

    Actually, ebikes will get you much LESS exercise

    Correct, ebiking requires less physical exertion than regular biking. The human works less, burns less calories, does not require the same oxygen exchange than a rider on a regular bike. That's why I bought an ebike. A 30 mile round trip for my commute would not be practical for me on a...

    Introduction

    Hello and Welcome ' I bought the MIK deck. You might be able to order one from the Giant US site. The stock rack is so much nicer with the deck than without.

    Pannier problem

    Hello and Welcome I like your setup. I changed out my grips as well. I use Timbuk2 panniers with the MIK top deck. The deck was probably not necessary for the panniers, but it does help with the grocery run using an old milk crate.

    Quick-E+

    Yes you do get assist. I have some fairly step grades on my commute. I ride a Quick E + and I usually run in eco and eco + on the way home for my workout.

    Increase the Speed - Giant Quick E questions

    That would do it! Prepare to be amazed. I payed very close attention to how I was riding on the flats this morning. In Eco + mode and in the third to highest gear. I was able to sustain 17 - 18 MPH no problem. I am very happy your problem had a very simple solution. =D

    New trek police bike

    I seriously considered the XM700 but according to Trek's sizing chart the large would not even come close to fitting me at 6'5" and they do not offer an XL. It was hard for me to change brands. I was very loyal to Trek, but 2G's difference, well,... I guess my loyalty has a price.

    I got my Quick E +

    Check to see if any wires got knocked off of the sensors. Or if any of the magnetic pieces got knocked off or moved on the spokes. If nothing changes I would take it back to the LBS you got it from and have them take a look. 28 MPH takes considerable effort for me even in the sport modes, but...
