Hello, I was asking purely from a generic educational standpoint. I have no need, just curious. Thanks, John

Hello, My response is not intended to be negative or to diminish the cargo bike idea for carrying children . I have no knowledge of the safety aspects and I really hope someone with that knowledge will respond.... With that said.. The average combined weight of a 6yr and a 1.5 year old child...

.....'Flat Foot Technology' also allows you to place both feet safely on the ground when stopped, thanks to the geometry of the frame. Whichever bike you choose I encourage you to consider seatpost designed to absorb bumps and road vibration. A quality unit will make a world of difference...

I absolutely, positively recommend you buy an e-bike. I'm 74 and bought my first e-bike 3 years ago. I'd never been on a e-bike or really knew what they were. Three years ago I was in my bike shop waiting, exactly as you were, my sales rep suggested I take the e-bike I was looking at out for a...

Hello, Perhaps my story may be a 'life raft' in a sea of choices. : ) I road a Trek Carbon 'acoustic' Hybrid and enjoyed it. One day I went to my LBS for some parts, while waiting and looking over the e-bikes (I'd done that prior). My sales rep "Why don't you take the Trek out for a ride...

Hello, As a consumer, if I were buying an e-bike ands checked the Bluejay price point, $2995, I'd strongly consider the Electra Townie Go first. Bosch Power, Trek support network etc. The Electra has a track record, the Bluejay is preorder which is always a bit of a concern to me. My intent...

Wow ! What a great l looking bike.

Hold the phone !!! You wrote " I have less than 5 miles on it and a little over $1000.00 in assembly and repair costs. " Did you say $1000.00 ?? As in, one thousand dollars ??

Hello again, Excellent reply. You're spot on ! I'm glad you brought up about home owners only covering theft from 'home' for folks not aware of that limitation. My needs/concern is theft from my condo garage, thus the limited coverage. Thanks, John

Hello, I have own a condo, and have two Trek e-bikes. My condo homeowners is with Geico. I don't know if they write Insurance in Canada. Geico actually doesn't write homeowners but partners with a third party, Stillwater. I've called three times to confirm that my e-bikes were covered on my...

Here's a link to the New York Times story on the accident, updated 12/21.. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/16/us/nevada-cyclists-deaths.html

Hello Topcatken, I'm glad to hear the Rock Shox install on your Trek XM700+ is working well. Mods of the this type and how a rider responds is really very personal. Congrats on your 9700 miles. In my book that's some serious riding . The Trek XM 700 + is a great eBike. I extremely happy with...

Hello, I cannot believe I missed this post. A huge loss for me. I wish I had the words to properly express the emotional support I've drawn from your experience and the marvelous way you shared your story. You've made a big difference in my life. Thank you. John

Hi Dave, Your reply is perfect ! "Problem solved" I hope folks read your post and take your message to heart. 13,000 miles in various New York counties, 4 years of riding, zero law enforcement issues. In my opinion this perceived law enforcement 'problem' has gotten out of hand. Way too...

Should you get some push back from the shop you might consider letting them know you're going to get the Gazelle Rep involved, even though the problem is not specific to the Gazelle. Sometimes just mentioning the Rep of a higher end e-bike can get the shops 'attention'. : ) I'm certain Gazelle...

Hi Jenniferd, I stand corrected. The reflective strip is not molded into the sidewall, but applied to it. I just checked the reflective strip one of my Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires and it isn't perfect, but it's not 'off' nearly as much as yours. This must be very frustrating, but what you...

Hi Jenniferd, Wow !! The reflective strip Schwalbe molds into the sidewall of their tires absolutely must be circular and even in relationship to the rim. This is so incredibly basic. You are correct ! I cannot believe the shop sent you on your way with the tire mounted as you mentioned. Is...

Hello Jenniferd, You wrote "I'm so interested to hear more about your comment about 'fixing a rear tire is not an option for me'." What I meant was figuratively changing/repairing the rear tire on my Trek e-mountain bike would be near impossible because of the bikes weight and I have a torn...

Excellent Job, I did't mean you needed to summarize, but that's ok. What you have to say is important. Hopefully some folks will be able to offer help. I have no knowledge of E-Bike Kits. Good luck, John

Hello mscir, Welcome to the Forum. If there's help to be found or at least a good suggestion it will pop up on EBR. For old folks like me and maybe some younger folks as well, could you break up your initial question/comment into several paragraphs. One huge word dump :) it a bit difficult to...
