    I'm a newbie from Oregon with a Trek xm 700+.

    I really could not keep up with other riders and this makes it possible for me to keep riding with members of our great club! Thanks for the nice words.

    Water bottle cage for handlebar

    I don't have a place I wanted to put a water bottle on my ebike, but I found this gadget so it can go on the handlebar. Having the water bottle there makes it so easy to reach that I am drinking more water as I ride.

    Headphone let's you hear traffic

    Conventional headphones, in my opinion, are not advisable while riding because they mask traffic sounds. On an ebike, because of the greater speed this may be a special problem. Aftershokz (weird spelling I know) do not cover your ear or go into your ear. They use bone conduction and go in...

    Would there be interest in a forum topic dedicated to guest/user reviews?

    Court's reviews are great. I bought my Trek xm 700+ after watching/reading his review. What I see for a review section is how different people value a particular bike or accessory. For example, I'm in my 70s and way about 70 pounds more than Court. I also have no interest in off road riding...

    Why isn't there a "Type" for Road Bikes?

    The electricbikereview.com is wonderful. This post is not met to be critical of this wonderful resource. I'm a road bike rider in my 70s and finally realized I can't keep up with the younger riders in my club (or some old ones who are just plain better riders than me). I got a Trek XM700+ after...

    Trek XM700+ rear fender-good for rider, bad for follower

    The reviews indicated these were plastic and might be a problem. One problem I've noticed riding in western Oregon rain is that the rear fender is way too short on the back and the poor guy behind me gets quite a spray from my rear wheel. I like the way the front fender works and the rear fender...

    First ebike ride - a Trek XM700+

    I just got a 700+ that is the low step model. It is a 45. I had a Madone 5.2 that was 56 so I had my doubts about the 45. However, for whatever reason, the 700+ bikes seem extremely high and the 45 fits perfectly. It is important to appreciate this confusing height issue and not get a bike that...

    I'm a newbie from Oregon with a Trek xm 700+.

    I plan to use the ebike for trips around town and for club rides in the area. This webpage is an enormous resource for beginners like me.

    While law enforcement

    I just bought an while with 28mph limit on the assist instead of the 20 mph limit. I live in Oregon. What are limits in Oregon? Are these enforced? I ride about 15 mph and wonder how or why I would face enforcement problems.
