You made me laugh with your "we're old" comment. I'm old too! Funny that you had your bike shipped across country for you... I did the same to get my 2019 Explore E+1 GTS... it was the last one in all of Canada and I had it shipped from Edmonton to me in Montreal. Cost a small fortune, but I...

I've got a 2019 Giant Explore E+1 GTS. I need to get a crank puller and my bike is at home (and it's snowing) and I've got to run an errand that will bring me completely in the other direction close to MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op). They show two different crank pullers... a Park Tools CCP-22...

Very nice looking bike! If my local dealer had been able to get me a Vado I probably would have ended up with it, instead of the Giant that I did buy. Ride it in good health!!

Welcome to the forum, David! Sounds like you're having fun already with the bike. What kind of gear are you planning to add? And a photo of your new bike would be nice.

Several times while riding my e-bike I've gotten a loud noise warning from my Apple Watch. (That's the decibel meter on the newest iOS.) I should probably wear hearing protection like I do when riding my motorcycle but I'm too afraid of not hearing the cars coming up or shouted warnings from...

Looks really nice! But is your rear rack really only supported by the clamp on the seat post? I'd be afraid to put too much weight on it.

Nice! What is that strapped to your top tube. Hard to tell from the photo (looks like a giant swiss knife).

I see you're (also) in Montreal. I ended up with a 2019 Giant Explore E+1 GTS and I'm very pleased with it. Especially so since going tubeless. I live in the West Island and the dealer I really like is (bit of a hike) out in Vaudreuil... the Giant dealer there. He's been absolutely super...

Welcome!! Those Trek bikes are really nice! How long is your commute and how far does your battery charge get you? Pictures would be nice.

You do know I was joking, right? Anyway, Trek and Specialized are both great brands, and even if the Raleigh might be as good, my opinion is that I'd go with a bike I could have serviced and supported locally. Good luck with your search!

How could you have the tire we're talking about if it's only going to be released in spring of 2020?

What will you do with two bikes??? :) :)

I learned the hard way that you really need to actually sit on (preferably even ride) the bike you are considering, and it must be in the size you would order. Don't just assume that the next frame size up or down would be right without actually trying it. Not having any stock at your local...

Same weight. Same bike. I usually ride in Normal mode and am often riding beyond the assist level (just ordered a BikeSpeed RS) and I think that with 50 miles (80 km) I'd have just about no battery charge left. My commute is 30km each way and if I start with about 95% charge, by the time I...

And do you have the Schwalbe heavy duty tubes in them? No sealant, I'd guess.

Those tires look good. I guess they're brand new... are they even available in North America (I'm in Canada) yet? The link and the further info link don't specify but I guess this isn't a tubeless tire. My stock tires are 45-622... I wonder if I should go with the 40-622 or 47-622 size with...

Thanks! But yes, I'm still using fenders. And will continue to do so. My commute takes me a few miles through a nature park trail and it's often wet and even muddy. I've added a mud flap to my front fender too, and that helps keep the spray off my shoes and the bottom bracket of the bike...

Welcome to the forum, Mark. And congratulations on the bike! Como bikes always seem to get good reviews. You may get better response to your question if you post it in the brand specific section of this forum. As far as my opinion goes... :) I'm sure the bike components are built for much...

I'm still searching for a good puncture-resistant replacement tire for my Giant Explore E+1. About 25% of my route is on a gravel (sometimes muddy) nature trail but the rest is pavement. The stock tire is 45-622 and I see that this Schwalbe would be 54-622. Any idea how I could find out if...

Well, the Lekker bike certainly does look good. Good components and it looks good. And since the reviews appear to be good... well, best of luck to you! And please let us know when you get it how you like it.
