And to be clear, the person helping me at the store DC appeared to be a front of the house person, so maybe the folks in the service bay would have a better understanding, but this person was suggested to me as the 'ebike expert' and was very confident in his answers. Super nice guy who spent a...

Well the one I bought it from is 230 miles away didn't update the software like they said they did (just checked last night and it is 1.1.2.0) and the one closest to me in DC doesnt seem much more knowledgeable. It's really frustrating how much lack of knowledge the Trek employees seem to have...

Ahh. That is another one of my complaints about Trek's customer experience/knowledge; as noted in that thread the Trek/Bosch manual tells you to remove the battery, but when I mentioned that to my LBS they told me that was crazy and to absolutely not do that. Of course they also told me that I...

Yeah - I haven't actually locked it up anywhere yet so haven't tried the U lock yet, but am familiar with Shelton Brown's method. I was thinking of getting the Abus CITYCHAIN™ 1010/110cm instead of the folding lock to use in addition to the U. It's only a 12 on Abus's security scale vs the...

Also, do you have some type of cover over your battery compartment?

Thanks for the recommendation. I am with you on the multiple locks which I was planning on doing as well. I live in Washington DC and will be travelling (with my 7S) to multiple cities coming up and although I don't plan on leaving my bike overnight or outside for extended periods of time, I...

Definitely finding that out - the frame and wheels are so much bigger than my FX 7.4! (I know, obvious) My folding lock just arrived today and I couldn't even get it around front wheel and the frame. Going to be returning that and will now have to decide if I want to get a chain or maybe go...

Well I'll be damned - neither the Trek person in the store nor I noticed those. I was looking for bosses on the top/side like my last bike had and how I had seen most frame locks mounted, but I did just google image search and there are definitely frame locks that mount that way as well. I...

Yeah - the 3rd option I could not get it tight enough with the supplied spacers for the bracket. Perhaps I can find something else to fit in it to make it more snug, but as it was, even a slight push would make the U swing out and the shackle swing into the path of the wheel. Bumps in the road...

Just got an Allant+ 7s last week (will post thoughts on that later), but currently wanted to see if anyone had mounted a U-Lock to it and if so where they put it. I purchased an Abus 540 U Lock, but struggled to find a place on the bike that it would fit w/o blocking my boss mounts (mounting it...

Yeah - I didnt see it when I originally posted, but saw the topic 'Abust keyed-alike options' below and your experience and the cost there. Honestly will probably just have multiple keys.

Appreciate the quick reply and think that makes sense. I was thinking of getting a U Lock and a folding lock for a little extra piece of mind (I don't mind the extra weight since I will have the assistance of the motor) and having them keyed the same, but maybe I either 1) stick with one lock...

Hi all - I know this is an old topic, but I just got an ebike that already has an Absus lock on the battery and was looking at getting an Abus lock(s) for the rest of the bike. Knowing about the YourPlus program, I called my local Trek store and was first told that they don't have a way to...
