For the 8s Super Commuter. Sorry for being vague.

A few questions: 1) Noise from the Bosch. I just watched Court's EBR and he commented on the noise level of the Bosch. Your comments? 2) I will be doing mostly touring in the Adirondacks and one of my main concerns is (motor aside), how does the bike do going DOWN hills. I like to build up a...

Please give a full review after you have had a chance to run it through its paces. One thing I am curious about is the gearing. The front sprocket is so small... do you get to really get up to high speeds 34+mph with out the motor engaged? I have tested it but only on level terrain. When going...

The reason I am looking at 28mph bikes (motors) is that I like to get up downhill speed (without motor assist) so I can coast back up other side of hill as far as possible (to save on battery)....Also, that is how I usually ride my touring bikes. The 20mph bikes that I have looked at do not have...

Getting very hard to find an XM 700. Spoke to a Trek dealer today (not quite sure if they were really in the loop) but they said they cannot get the XM 700. Anybody know for sure what is going on with that bike. Want to test ride one. Maybe coming in the spring?

Thank you so much for the info. I'm wondering how much impact the 40 degree temp had. Next time you make the trip, if you don't mind, try with a full 100% charge and see if you have the same issue of shutting down. Also let me know the temp. I so appreciate all the info!

P.S. is your Urban Plus a 2017 or 2018? Are there any changes for this year's model?

Thank you so much for your input on the Urban Plus! If I could ask one more favor...Do you have many downhills on your ride? My reason for asking is I am wondering of the bike is geared high enough so when you peddle past 28mph going downhill, do you still get some push? Give it a few days...

Just test drove the Super Commuter 7. Compared it to a Giant Quick e+ and Haibike. The Trek bike really put a smile on my face. So comfortable! and really dampened the vibrations I experienced when going over same bumps with the Giant Quick e+.

Getting ready for second test ride of Haibike Urban Plus. Anybody have comments on this model...pros or cons. If you comment, please let me know how long owned and how many miles on it. Thanks!

Gdufour1, please post as soon as you have updates, etc. Very interested in the Urban Plus also, especially at $1700!

Went and tested the 2018 Haibike Urban Plus today. I really liked it. Felt very comfortable and excellent power. Does anybody know if there are any differences / tweaks between the 2017 & 2018? Any reason not to go for the 2017 and save big? ($1700)

I am considering a purchase of the 2018 Giant Quick e+. Does anyone that actually owns one have any comments about issues...Pro & cons. If you have a comment, please let me know how long you have owned the bike. I have already seen Court's reviews. Looking for added input. Thank you so much!

Suggestion: I recently was at a Trek dealer & the sales manager suggested that I take advantage of Trek's 14 day return policy. So I bought the Trek Verve+, rode it for ten days and put 150 miles on it. Returned it for full refund, no questions asked. A great experience! Allowed me to rule out...

I am also in the market for a first time ebike. I'm 65 years old, live at the top of a three mile hill and want to be able to come home after a 30 mile ride and not feel wiped out. I recently vacationed in central Florida and the dealer there suggested I take advantage of the Trek 14 day no...

I am looking for some interviews/reviews from technicians about what CAN go wrong with Ebikes, what the costs are for repair; what the most often reported problems, etc. I am shopping for my first Ebike and want to get it right the first time. I have some time to research...4 months till snow...

Loved the Giant Road E+! Only problem was the drop down bars. Need something upright for my neck/shoulders. Might have found it at High Peaks Cyclery in Lake Placid (Giant Quick E+). (See my comments in previous thread.) Anyone out there own the Quick E+? Impressions?

Thanks for the info. I just came from High Peaks Cyclery in Lake Placid where I looked at the Giant Quick E+. It looks pretty nice but did not test drive it because we just got several inches of snow and the roads are super messy. Does anyone have experience with this model? It is billed as a...
