Hello, I'm assuming you purchased your bike on line ? My opinion. Your situation appears very serious. ( Safety wise ) I would take your bike to a Local Bike Shop, or at least call one to see if they will provide service. For your safety I would see a pro... Assuming your bike was purchased...

Hello, Have you met with a 'certified' bike fitter at a knowledgable bike shop you trust. Someone you're comfortable with their advice ? You said you didn't want to depend on the motor all the time, 'push the pedals' At 110 lbs fully clothed' it sounds like you'll need a bike with some serious...

Hello, I think what you did, apologizing was very honorable. The 'right' thing to do for all of use in the cycling community. My view. More of us concerned cyclists should do whatever tiny bit of good will we can...There's tons of hate. There are car /pickup truck drivers that 'hate' us...

Congratulations !!! This so very cool. I'd love to see more pictures of your tandem. The Bosch Drive system is the best in my view. I'm on my third Trek/ Bosch Drive (Traditional bike) 12,000 miles no problems. Tandems are in a league by themselves, power, stress, wear and tear as I'm sure you...

Hi HarryS, Absolutely incredible work ! I can tell by your attention to detail you're a true craftsman. You referenced 'beaters' :) Those are the finest looking 'beaters' ( not ) I've ever seen.

Hi Dave, Very interesting enjoyable post. One again you've proven what I never suspected when I started this tread, there's a huge amount of cycling diversity in 'our EBR world'... I would have never known or guessed. I'm finding enjoyable to read how we use our e-Bikes. Hopefully folks new...

My reply to All, This is my second followup on my post... I'm finding the Posts fascinating. I'm seeing a 'pattern' and that pattern is there is none.... I would have never guessed there would such a blend of bikes, uses, styles of riding. I guess this is an unseen value to riding our e-bikes...

So far , Thank you all for you replies. This little post is just for me. I'm glad I've posted because, while folks on EBR will almost certainly never meet in person, just to know what others ride, it's nice to know what a little of the human side of our 'sport' / hobby. Lord knows we spend...

Hi All, I'm curious how many e-Bike you own ? I bought two Treks 6 years ago, an XM700 Commuter - Class 3 and a Powerfly 7 MTB / 90% Rail Trails. 12,000 miles. Love the bikes. I'm in the process of buying a Trek Allant + 7s because the 60Nm of torque from my XM700 is starting to pull at my...

Hello, Don't be discouraged by the 'annoyed ' cargo van driver....I've been riding e-bikes for 6 years and have discovered there's a small number 'hardwired' car / truck bicycle 'haters'. Should your Tannus Inserts not work to your satisfaction, I strongly recommend the Schwalbe's 'Flatless'...

Ageed. The post seemed a bit 'disjointed', (confusing) plus being a new poster. Not a strong combination to solicit help.

There way 'too much going on ' here.... For starters, if any real manufacturer contact info is available, there will be no 'Customer Support' . Second. if the bike works meaning, the motor provides assist as it should, that's huge. Forget about the lack of the throttle unless, do to your...

Hello, I have two e-bikes, a mountain and a commuter. I run Schwalbe Flatless for ebikes on both. The Marathon Plus for my commuter and the Marathon MTB on my mountain bike. 12,000 miles combined total and no flats. I ride rail trails and some road on my mtb, no real mountain biking...

Hello, I run Schwalbe Marathon + Flatless tires on both my Trek e-bikes, a XM700+ Commuter and a Powerfly7 MTB..I have no flats in over 7000 miles combined on both sets. Never a flat on the Marathon plus. I strongly recommend you spend some time checking out Schwalbe link below... Schwalbe...

Hello and welcome, You're 67...That makes you you a young'un, I'm 77 and have ridden e-bikes for 6+ years. Getting out and riding is pure joy ! Just like the first time six years ago. I'm glad you checked in. Please return often. All the best, John

Hi Anton, Welcome to EBR. You certainly have some interesting stories. Please check in often and share. All the best, John

Hi Dave, All, I counted the teeth on my Trek XM700+ Commuter chain ring today...20t :) John

Howdy, I misspoke in my original chain ring size. Dummy me, 20T is the crank... From the Trek Website, XM700 "Crank.....Miranda Delta, 20T" Duhhh. I'll count the teeth and report back. Sorry. John

Hey Dave, Great to hear from you. I can't believe I missed your post. Us Trek XM 700 guys have to stick together, there's so few of us... : ) I was unable to physically check my front ring, but will do so tomorrow, Tuesday. In the mean time the Trek XM 700 Specs call for a 20 T ring. John

In my view you made a very wise decision. John
