Are you the same guy that was complaining about problem after problem with your Trek a year or two ago?

I live in Canada where we are limited to 20 mph, so I'd be interested in derestricting as well. :)

The C380+ is a nice bike for sure. I really wish Gazelle would offer some version of that bike in Canada, only with the vs motor rather than the speed motor. For some reason Gazelle hasn't realized there is a market for the high torque cx motor in high step, so they're offering low step only...

Great post Victor, thank you for your thoughts!

Yeah, Dost doesn't have dealers - they have a van with a couple bikes that tours around giving test rides. They have offices in Port Coquitlam (suburb of Vancouver) where you can also do test rides. But they aren't being sold through any dealers AFAIK.

Hi, I thought about that too since I live in Vancouver, and it's only about a 45 minute drive to the US. I think it could be possible, but I'm afraid of issues at the border. I'm not sure what I would do if the border people don't let the bike through!

I wish they would upgrade their motors and integrate them into the frame properly, so the wires aren't hanging exposed on the bottom of the frame...

Got several emails hyping this event over the last week: https://dostbikes.com/launch-event. I was hoping they might announce better, more integrated motors and better cable routing. Turns out it was two CVT belt drive versions of the two existing models. The belt drive is pretty cool, but...

I don't like how step through frames look, and I want to buy something I like when I'm spending $5,000 on a bicycle. :) I've also heard that step through frames are less rigid and can flex/wobble at higher speeds, but I don't have any experience with this in the Gazelle frames.

I've been waiting for about 3 months or so for the Allant+ 8 to become available again. I'd much prefer an 8s, but they don't sell those in Canada due to federal laws regarding maximum ebike speeds, but I'm planning to add a derestrictor module. I test drove the 7 and the 8 (in a size slightly...

They do make an 8, but the 2022 model hasn't been announced yet (unless they're for some reason discontinuing it, which I doubt considering they're currently offering the 2022 8s). But yeah, like Dallant said, the only difference is that the 8s has the speed motor. :)

It's not available in Canada though, because speeds are limited to 20 mph. So we don't have the C380+, only the C380, which doesn't have the high step and has the weaker motor.

I know, tell me about it! I'm not sure why Gazelle doesn't offer the C380 with the CX rather than the smaller motor, it seems like a no brainer and something that's super easy to do.

Oh I'd be happy with the speed motor, but they can't sell it in Canada due to regulations limiting speeds to 20 mph.

This looks like an awesome bike and I'm looking tombiy something exactly like this, except in high step and with a 85 Nm Bosch CX motor (speeds are limited to 20 mph here in Canada). Gazelle does offer the C380 HMB, but it doesn't come in high step, and has the smaller 65 NM motor. My hunt for...

I've been trying to buy an Allant+ 8 here in Vancouver for a while now, but they've sold out everywhere and the 2020-2021 models have been archived on the website. I've started looking at other brands (Cube, Gazelle, Bulls, Riese & Muller), but haven't pulled the trigger yet as I haven't found...

What a beautiful bike. God I wish we could buy those in Canada.

Ditto - if the 9.9s were in stock near me, it would also be in my garage and I wouldn't even be considering the 8! Unfortunately they don't sell the 9.9 or the S series in Canada though... :( Thought about trying to smuggle it over the border, but it's not worth the risk haha

I've been looking for an Allant+ 8 for quite a while. Trek used to have the 2021 model listed on their website, but it wasn't possible to order it from the website or the dealer, and there were apparently only a few units in stock at dealers as of a few weeks ago. I viewed one locally, but it...

Hey all, Trek has now archived the 2021 Allant+ 8 listings from their US and Canadian websites. The US website does have the 2022 Allant+ 8S, and since all the parts except for the motor are identical to the Allant+ 8, I'm expecting that they will list the Allant+ 8 at some point. I wish they...
