    Review of Gazelle 380+ Mid step

    I know, tell me about it! I'm not sure why Gazelle doesn't offer the C380 with the CX rather than the smaller motor, it seems like a no brainer and something that's super easy to do.

    Review of Gazelle 380+ Mid step

    Oh I'd be happy with the speed motor, but they can't sell it in Canada due to regulations limiting speeds to 20 mph.

    Review of Gazelle 380+ Mid step

    This looks like an awesome bike and I'm looking tombiy something exactly like this, except in high step and with a 85 Nm Bosch CX motor (speeds are limited to 20 mph here in Canada). Gazelle does offer the C380 HMB, but it doesn't come in high step, and has the smaller 65 NM motor. My hunt for...

    2021 Allant+ 9S

    I've been trying to buy an Allant+ 8 here in Vancouver for a while now, but they've sold out everywhere and the 2020-2021 models have been archived on the website. I've started looking at other brands (Cube, Gazelle, Bulls, Riese & Muller), but haven't pulled the trigger yet as I haven't found...

    What a beautiful bike. God I wish we could buy those in Canada.

    Introduction and Input on Allant + 9.9S

    Ditto - if the 9.9s were in stock near me, it would also be in my garage and I wouldn't even be considering the 8! Unfortunately they don't sell the 9.9 or the S series in Canada though... :( Thought about trying to smuggle it over the border, but it's not worth the risk haha

    Introduction and Input on Allant + 9.9S

    I've been looking for an Allant+ 8 for quite a while. Trek used to have the 2021 model listed on their website, but it wasn't possible to order it from the website or the dealer, and there were apparently only a few units in stock at dealers as of a few weeks ago. I viewed one locally, but it...

    Will there be a 2022 Allant+ 8?

    Hey all, Trek has now archived the 2021 Allant+ 8 listings from their US and Canadian websites. The US website does have the 2022 Allant+ 8S, and since all the parts except for the motor are identical to the Allant+ 8, I'm expecting that they will list the Allant+ 8 at some point. I wish they...

    Thoughts on Allant+ stagger frames?

    Yeah, agreed. It's unfortunate, as this LBS is 2 blocks from my house!

    Thoughts on Allant+ stagger frames?

    No, it won't be a Specialized, I don't like their frame design (at least on the Vado)

    Thoughts on Allant+ stagger frames?

    I just heard back from the LBS that "the fender will not be warrantied as the condition is considered acceptable." I simply don't believe Trek would stand behind crooked, scratched fenders as "acceptable". And if so, Trek does not sound like a company I want to purchase another bike from...

    Thoughts on Allant+ stagger frames?

    Thanks! Do I need to connect a phone to do that?

    Thoughts on Allant+ stagger frames?

    Yeah, the salesman said "maybe Trek has just been pushing out bikes with little QC due to the pandemic" (paraphrasing), but I agree with you that this seems like the damage happened at the dealer. I will ask for mileage... Does anyone know how to find the mileage on the smartphonehub? I can't...

    Thoughts on Allant+ stagger frames?

    Yeah, they said it was built this morning, but it sure looks like it's been used and banged around quite a bit to me. I didn't check how many miles were in it - not sure how to do that on the Bosch controller.

    Thoughts on Allant+ stagger frames?

    Hey all, bit of an update! I got an email this morning from the shop that had the L Allant+ 8 in the stagger frame, and apparently their inventory was wrong - it was in fact a standard frame! I was BEYOND excited, because this is the bike I want. I went to give it a test ride, and it was...

    Thoughts on Allant+ stagger frames?

    Yeah, that's exactly how I'm feeling. I don't want to compromise anything at this price point (it's a bit of money!). I don't *need* this bike right now, and I'd rather wait for the right one. I just wish Trek would announce the 2022 Allant+ 8. They have various models of the 8 on websites...

    Thoughts on Allant+ stagger frames?

    Hey all, I've been looking for an Allant+ 7 or 8 in size L or XL. I'm 6'1", so right on the border between the L and XL according to Trek's website, but based on inseam, the website suggests a L. My inseam would need to be an inch or so higher to me to be on an XL, according to the fit guide...

    Advice on L vs. XL sizes in Allant+

    Interesting, thanks! I just received an email yesterday that the shop has built the L Allant+ 7. I'm planning to give it a test ride tomorrow afternoon, so I'll get to check the fit firsthand. Thankfully, they do have an XL Allant+ 8 on hold for me at the other shop!
