All excellent advice above and I spent months testing several bikes and even more time reading information on this forum it is beyond helpful and provides insight. Bottom line everybody’s needs and criteria are different so ride as many as possible and find the correct fit for you. It was...

I completely agree many times I am blown off the road or trail by the future Tour de France wannabes. Absolutely in my opinion the distinction should be between pedal assist only and the throttle bikes. I would never attempt to do it with my bike because it is not necessary but I have read many...

I am in my mid-50s and the exact same height and weight. I can ride year-round in the Pacific Northwest just as long it is not pouring down rain! E bike laws vary from state to state but I am thankful I got the class one because I am finding more and more areas are not allowing class III and the...

I have had my Verve for about two months and ride mainly flat paved trails. Usually ride on eco-or no assist at all but have no problem maintaining 18 to 20 mph steadily but the boost does kick off at 20. I use it for recreation only so for my personal use don’t need it to go any faster and...

The dealer I bought mine from a few months ago stated it was their top E bike seller and I am beyond happy with mine

About two months ago I got a great season ending deal on a Trek Verve + and love it. Got it for 2K. I wanted the support of a LBS and I test rode several bikes. I almost bought a bike online for $500 less but it was 20 pounds more and the components on the Trek are much higher end and while I...

The beautiful outdoors is waiting you will make the right choice and it will be a fantastic experience!

Definitely take your time and do your research and test ride as many as possible it is a big investment. Find a bike that caters to your specific needs because reading any of these forums can influence you to lean a certain direction based on someone else’s enthusiasm or preferences. I found...

I have a new Trek Verve + it is my first E bike and I was skeptical but love it. Even though it has the smaller Bosch active line motor, I am amazed at the amount of boost it gives me when needed. It is incredibly smooth and quiet and I have ridden more than 60 miles on a single charge in PAS 1...

Trek has been very amazing and responsive with their support. I was looking at a bikes for months and was almost ready to pull the trigger on a $1500 bike from a huge mainly online distribution network. For only a few hundred dollars more I got a Trek Verve + E Bike. It is over 20 pounds...

Great points and my patience and taking my time paid off and getting the right bike to suit my needs. The first a bike I ever test road put a huge smile on my face because of the torque and the assist and it even had a throttle and I nearly bought it on the spot. That bike was 67 pounds. I...

I took an extensive test ride I took an extensive test ride and really liked the auto mode, but upon returning to the shop I was talking to their head bike mechanic and he highly recommended even if you use the auto mode to continually shift gears he said he has seen far too many people come...

When the battery is fully charged and I start out in Eco, the first level of assist it says I can go 60 miles. That is actually conservative because I went almost 70 miles on a full charge but mostly flat terrain on the trail in our valley, using only PAS 1 and at times no assist at all...

My wife and I recently got his and hers Trek Verve plus. Dealer had a couple of 2019 models left over that we got for 2K each. We absolutely love them and were pleasantly surprised at the ability to climb fairly steep hills with the Bosch active line motor. I rarely need more boost than Eco...

Congratulations!! Sounds like you got a few perks which is always nice . Just like anything in life no bike is perfect but I think you will get many many years of reliable enjoyment. Sure you could have paid a few hundred dollars less for a DIY bike online, but I firmly believe over many...

Whidbey Island would be amazing riding and next spring or summer I want to hop on the ferry in Anacortes and ride through the San Juan Islands. Hopefully you will get a chance to at least test the Verve I think you will be very impressed and surprised at the amount of boost for a smaller motor...

My wife and I had been researching E bikes for a few months and did several test rides and found a great deal on his and her Trek Verve +. Still breaking them in but what a blast and a complete new chapter with many adventures ahead. We are in our 50s and did some mountain biking 25 years ago...

Don’t get me wrong the throttle is fun but I have a motorcycle and that takes care of that desire ! Here is my Verve

I do not know all of the particulars of a hub mounted motor but just looking at other forums there were a lot of frustrations in repairing a flat. Some tried to use a patch kit to get it home but ultimately if you have to replace the tire it is definitely a more difficult process to remove the...

Hello Richard, My best friend and former business associate lives in Fort Collins and it is absolutely beautiful there and I would love to ride my E bike in the future in that area . My wife and I are in our 50s and we looked at E bikes for at least three months . We live about 30 miles...
