Yes, taking the Auto Train with the Bikes on the back. Meeting our daughters for a week in St. Pete, then probably hanging with our friends for a week at Belleair Beach. Should get a few hundred miles in at least. Breaking the Allant 9.9 in a bit before the summer.

Getting used to your 9.9S GuroUno? Hoping your cruising around in this February warm spell!

All good with the bike. I actually could have made the slight change in cable stretch by turning the knob by the shift lever. Duh. Everything else checks out after 320 miles. Taking it back down to Florida for a few weeks in March, so should get some good riding in there.

I am one of the ones with the new Allant 9.9 S. No problems with battery, did think it shifted harder than my Supercommuter 8+, but shifter is firm MTB setup. Have gotten used to it, and seems to have loosed up a bit. Fantastic bike. These are not "issues" that should prevent you from...

Just another point. Since you are commuting you are probably going to use the extra power for speed. My wife was doing 15 miles each way in the middle of the summer in NJ, sometimes at 90 degrees on the way back. If you think about sweating, it is kind of a parallel to heart rate. This...

You need to think about whether to use the extra power for speed or distance. For instance, let's take a ride of 35 miles. My wife and i will agree on a setting (in this case Eco because we want to make sure batteries last), a speed (say 14 mph) and a heart rate (say 140). We will then adjust...

Hi - bought from Marty's Reliable in Morristown. Wanted the support of an LBS. Very mechanically inclined and can tune myself, but just done doing it, letting a pro handle. They have been great.

Congrats on the new Allant 9.9 I took delivery of mine a few months ago, although we live in NJ, took it down to Florida for a few weeks. Did about 300 miles. So far really liking the bike, just a bit different from my SuperCommuter 8+

Central Jersey, up in Mendham, near Morristown. Nowhere near the GS Parkway, so no exit number to tell you. LOL

Hey Joeyd! Also in NJ. Been riding our e-bikes for a few years, on roads and trails near Morristown. Columbia Pike, Patriots Path, Delaware and Raritan Canal, etc. We are taking them everywhere. Across to Arizona, and down to Florida. We just decided to have one less car in our household...

We look at the ride and balance how we want to use the ebike power. Speed, distance, or combination. For distance (35 to 60 miles), we will agree initially on a speed, say 14 miles per hour, assist level (Eco), and a heart rate, say 140 bpm. We will see how it goes, and adjust the speed to...

Yes, only cable stretch. Totally normal. The shifting is slightly off. Few turns of a screw.

Glad that it feels better for you. I am getting used to my Allant 9.9 shifting. After 300 miles I notice what you would with a normal bike - the cables have stretched a bit. The LBS wants you to bring it back anyway for tweaking. Will do that over the next few weeks. Will take it out if...

GuruUno, Very nice looking bike. Will look forward to hearing your views. I did notice that it had a Bosch Performance CX (20 mph), which is a class one bike, not class three like the Supercommuter or Allant (28 mph). The link is for the Danish Web site, and when I went to the USA web...

OK, replying to myself. Is that like talking to yourself and you're crazy? Well maybe. I just had a long conversation with Aaron from Shimano. He has noticed that the 8100's have a more positive feel than previous versions. He also said that while there is the compatible 9100 version, his...

Hi GuruUno, Sorry I have been a bit absent, been actually riding my 9.9S. Did about 300 miles in Florida over the past two weeks, breaking it in. Few things that I would add: Yes the shifting effort is more than the SC 8+, we both agree. This is not a design flaw, it is the way Shimano...

Agree with you about letting the punks win. Homeowners insurance covered the loss of my SuperCommuter in full. For me, it was make sure I have good insurance, lock it as best I can without being paranoid, and go on and live my life. And by the way, we have one less car with the ebikes.

We are going out today from St. Petersburg to Dunedin today - that will be about 55 miles round trip. Mostly on Pinellas Trail, but you are right, you always have to be careful. St. Pete has a lot of bike lanes and streets where bikes have priority, but you still have to watch out for the...

I just compared the Allant 9.9S to the Allant 8.8S. They have different components. So shifting force would likely be different. Might be more, might be less. Certainly the shifting force is not a defect, and perhaps I am just more sensitive than others.

Sorry if is was not clear. Yes, the buzzing is coming from the hub when coasting, just like any other hub. It is just MUCH louder when compared to the SuperCommuter.
