Hello frossa, Your riding style and age is very similar to mine. I'm 76 and ride mainly hard packed rail to trails with some paved. Flat protection is absolutely paramount for me, at any cost ! I'm also a tire 'junkie' : ) Quality matters. I have a e-commuter and an e-mountain bike. On both...

Sparky731, Thanks, 6500 miles on your 'clock' speaks volumes. I agree with you on the rear carrier and front suspension on your 7s. On my XM700 I replaced the stock front fork 'springy thing' that came on the bike with a Rock Shox Recon Silver and was extremely pleased.... The upgraded 625w...

Hi Dave, Great to hear from you ! Us Trek XM700 faithful have to stick together, not many of us. I remember your Erie Canal ride. That must have been quite an adventure. You mentioned you've moved to a Giant Toughroad for a little more robustness. That is a very nice bike ! How ironic, I'm...

Thank you for posting Notice the paper signs on the door 'Zelle' and cash only... That should tell you something. This is whole thing is so incredibly scary, but it's The Big Apple. I'd hate to be a Firefighter. John

Hello, I especially like the opening comment from 'Gromike'...Who wrote "I'd suggest buying the best bike you can afford. The best bike is the one you like best riding" My story.... Six years ago I visited my Local Bike Shop. A Trek XM700 Commuter e-bike on the sales floor caught my eye. I'd...

"Buffoonery" is the perfect word for this charging boondogle. Once we get past that, how about we add possibly incredibly dangerous .. https://slate.com/business/2023/02/e-bike-fires-batteries-lithium-ion-explode-new-york-city-delivery-workers.html John

Hello, You wrote "about 2" of snow and 10 miles away 14" "etc etc... Are you sure you're posting to the correct tread ?? What might you be referring to ?? None of this makes sense. Thx John

I'm guessing I've missed something ??? This is the most bizarre post I've ever seen. Strange. Can someone explain ??? Thanks, John

Hi Bob, Welcome ! What a wonderful and inspiring story you've shared. Thank you very much. I searched for your Diamondback Union 2 on Google...A very nice bike. The Bosch Power Train is excellent. I have a older Bosch powered bike and the Bosch has performed flawlessly. It's so smooth. How...

I did a quick Google search for the Mototric 500. I'm no expert, but this 'thing' looks extremely scary and possibly unsafe with the tiny rear wheels and tall-ish. seat. Scary meaning could tip over while turning with very little effort. The wheelbase appears appears very short as well. I...

Hello, Here's my story, I hope it helps.... I'm 76 and own / ride two 5 year old e-bikes. A Trek XM 700 Commuter and a Trek Powerfly 7 Hardtail Mountain bike, Both bikes, Bosch Power Trains Mid Drives. Total miles 10,000. I have not had a single problem in 5 years. I ride rail to trails...

Oh it's not an e-Bike, it's an e-Motorcycle. Probably a lot of fun in the right circumstances... Old logging roads, abandon quarries, power line fire roads etc. Most EBR folks ride, rails to trails, very gentle dirt paths, safe cautious road riding etc. Most of us are 'long in the tooth' :)...

Scum poachers using 'e-bikes'. Let me correct the story......Poachers using 'electric motorcycles'. Perhaps similar to the very high power Surron type off road 'electric motorcycles' currently being discussed on this forum ? Hmmmm ...

I completely agree ! This is not a bike, it's an electric motorcycle. Call it for what it really is.

This is a moped, an e-scooter, or a mini motorcycle...Pick one ! This is NOT AN E-BIKE !! No way any day. It's stuff like this that gives responsible e-bikers and their true e-bikes a bad name. I have nothing against a 'vehicle' like this, just call it what it is and it's not an e-bike ...

I strongly support poster J.R. comment as well as others and think bringing your damaged battery (case) to a knowledgeable Bosch e-Bike shop is a great idea. From the picture you provided, the battery case was dropped (?) and cracked. There could be internal damage to a battery. (?) Damaged...

Hello again, Thanks for your complete and prompt reply. I'm encouraged to hear your bike has a suspension fork and rear suspension. I also like what Member 'ruffruff' wrote about tuning your front and rear shocks, good advice. I listed a 'ton' of things to help with softening the ride. I also...

Hello, My suggestion..Have your eyes promptly examined by an Ophthalmologist, ( no excuses) ask your questions and report back to us. We'd like to know. The last thing you want to do is ask a bunch of knuckleheads like us for medical advice. We can't even agree on throttle or no throttle.... (...
