Congrats Sola Gratia! I have had mine several weeks. Got a flat the first time I was out with it. Had a Mr Tuffy lining installed and hopefully it protects the tires more. I feel a bit confined when riding. I can't get the seat back far enough or the seat high enough for my legs to extend...

Strongly suggest that you try it out for fit before you buy it.

QUOTE: "But my biggest issue is that the bike doesn't fit me well. (Note to everyone... don't buy a bike, any bike, until you've actually seen it and sat on it and hopefully test ridden it!) I'd ridden an Explore E+ 3 with medium frame and while riding it felt fine, but the standover height was...

Yes...it appears to go down far enough to lock it down. I have been looking at their website. I think it will work...thank you very much for your help.

AguassissiM...thank you. This is a good suggestion. My light just came on regarding my bike which will affect the options I have. It's a step through and would be curious if the gripper that that secures the bike will tighten around the lower arm on the step through. I suspect they have...

Great information “Hurricane 56!” I will check it out. I have missed that one! I hadn’t thought about Harbor Freight. I don’t have a problem strapping it down. I doubt I will ever drive it more 10 miles. Thank you Bob Thank you "Niteman" for your suggestions. I have seen severral...

Everyone has been so helpful to me and I appreciate. I got my Giant LaFree+1. Rode it for the first time yesterday morning for 50 minutes. Did about 6 miles in the neighborhood. I would have ridden longer but my butt started aching. New seat is on my list now! Here's my dilemma that your...

Wow.....I have received so many credible and informative replies from this group. Your links are nice...thank you. I have a Ryobi battery powered inflator that I use to gauge my auto tires and I suspect it's going to work well on the bicycle tires. Home use of course. I will have to check...

Loved your comment about carrying all this stuff today vs yesteryear. Backpack? What was that? Biking shoes. Sorry, only one pair of shoes. Not complaining at all. I don't think I want to change a tube either. You added some more things to my list that makes sense. Many more and I will...

Thanks for the tips. You are well equipped. Better to be prepared. Sorry about your flat.

Thank you Rodolfo. I think I have a multitool. Which tire inflator would you recommend please. Thank you Bob

I will pick up my Giant LaFree +1 next week. What are the minimum items I should carry with me please?

Thank you. I did a search and did find a many options. Thank you

I do have a smartphone and have already downloaded the apps. I think I need to see what it does before I jump into something else. I assume you can mount your phone on the handlebars. Thanks for your help. Thank you. Makes sense to use it first. I want to track miles and heart rate for...

I have an LaFree +1 on order. Curious if anyone has changed out the minimalist controller that comes with it. I asked the dealer today could it be replaced with a controller that displayed speed, distance, battery and power settings. He was going to research. Any suggestions would be...

Big help.....particularly the step over heights. I have an appointment tomorrow to ride the Large. I think I am going to go with the Como 4.0. Thank you!

I would like to suggest that you look at the Specialized Como LOW STEP 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0. All three are under your budget. I visited a shop yesterday with my intent to buy the Vado model. After testing the VADO and the COMO there was a night/day difference. The Como felt like it was made for...

I just visited the Specialized Web site and discovered that the Como 3.0 and 4.0 Low entry models are available in two sizes...Small and Large. I am pretty sure I saw a large one in the store and will have to check it out. I confirmed with the dealer that the step through model is not...

Thank you! Unfortunately I'm built like an ape!. Long upper torso and short legs(29" inseam). I do have long arms. My intuition was telling me the entire time I tested the SMALL was not right. There appears to be a bit of crossover in the sizes for the MEDIUM and the Large. I think I need...

I am looking at the Specialized Como 4.0 or maybe 5.0. I am a senior male, 190 pounds and 5'10" tall. The test model I rode was a 3.0 Small. It felt comfortable but I am concerned that after I buy it and use it awhile I might feel cramped. All of the size charts indicate at my height I...
