    I got my Quick E +

    That's too bad. I wonder if Giant knows about their attitude. I don't think they would appreciate a sales loss like that. My fender; With some readjustment and a hair dryer It straightened out fine. =D

    AirZounds and CO2

    I have an AirZounds and I like it a lot. Just a little tap and I can get the attention of most texters who should be driving. I even got a little payback on a pickup truck with a trailer when he laid on his horn while passing me. He kept looking in the rear view mirror thinking a car was...

    New trek police bike

    I really hope they see the writing on the wall. Trek really needs to offer a 28 MPH Commuter oriented bike for about 3 K. I have been a Trek fan for decades, but I could not justify a two K loyalty premium when there are so many options out there for less.

    Hi from Central Ohio

    Hello and Welcome Fellow Buckeye I have to get up to Orbit Bikes someday. I have heard good things. The owner testified before the state house trying to get Ebikes legalized in Ohio on bike trails and taking off the motorcycle classification. Maybe the bill will pass this fall =D Would love...

    Quick-E+

    I love that 2019 model. It has some very nice refinements over the 2018 model. On the flats I shift up till I am comfortable with my cadence then I go up with the assist. I am hoping this saves on battery, but I have no stats. Enjoy that bike =D Would love to see some pics.

    Tell Us About Your Commute.

    I biked 4 days this week. 118 miles total. Next week I am going for all 5 days. The commute on roads is getting easier. I think drivers are getting used to seeing me in the morning. I have really been working on eye contact with drivers at intersections. I have been trying to give a wave...

    Quick-E+

    Anyone know if the rims on a 2018 Quick E + are tubeless ready? I did not see anything on the Giant spec sheet.

    Who Knew? Switching tires adds 10% range on batteries!

    I have been following this thread closely. I am about to pull the trigger on two Marathon Almotion HS 453s. I wanted to ask, "Would this be a good set up for commuting? I put 120 miles in this week. =D

    Panniers

    I ended up buying these Timbuk2 tandem panniers. They work very nice; good, simple, utilitarian design. Haven't had the chance to test them out in severe weather yet, but those days are not far away.

    The Great Miami River, outside Hamilton OH. I see blue herons, magpies, cardinals, hawks, and occasionally a kingfisher and an egret.

    I got my Quick E +

    Well today I logged 500 miles on my Ebike today. I enjoy the bike now as much as the day I got it. I have added a few pieces such as a new set of handle bars, pedals a MIK compatible flat deck, installed a horn and extra front light and an extra blinky tail light. I also started using some...

    Interesting article from a dino mtn.bike site as to why e-mtb's shouldn't be allowed on trails

    Yes limits to assist would have to be set. speed limits may also be needed,... and, of course, enforced. I read a review of an ebike with a hand throttle that has a top speed of 40 MPH. These hot rod ebikes are going to ruin it for all of us.

    Interesting article from a dino mtn.bike site as to why e-mtb's shouldn't be allowed on trails

    Posters have made a lot of great points. As far as the discussion about the ADA goes I have seen at every Nat'l Park that I have been to provide access to some parts of the park for individuals with disabilities. IMHO there will have to be a stronger definition of what an ebike is. I would...

    Check out these 2019 Giant Ebikes

    I like the Daily Tour models. Auto shifting would take some getting use to, but I imagine it's pretty nice after a while. I like the small Giant logo on the side also.
