    2020 Allant 9.9S Grinding Noise from motor or is it?

    ^ Ditto. In reading this thread, his negativity is well documented. Just a heads up since this thread is pretty much dead and you are now in St. Pete - have you ridden the Pinellas Trail up to Tarpon Springs? I'm about an hour south of you and we do that ride about once/yr, starting at a mall...

    2020 Allant 9.9S Grinding Noise from motor or is it?

    This thread is now a year old & I just finished reading every reply, and am wondering if anyone is still having hub issues in 2021/the last 12 months with their 9.9?

    2021 Allant+ 9S

    Not real sure what you are saying - can you or someone clarify what you said for me? I am in Florida and ordered an Allant+ 9.9S April 20, 2021. It was delivered October 15, 2021, and It does not have a suspension fork.

    Hitch rack for Allant+

    I agree with what Kuat told you. The Thule T2 XT Pro and the Kuat high end racks both use a similar clamp arm on the front tire, and while my Trek dealer said it is ok to use the clamp over the front fender of my Trek I do not agree as the front arm clamp needs to have a lot of pressure on the...

    Alternative rack for Allant+ 8

    Yes, but you can not mount the same Topeake bag on that rack that us 2 old farts did. :)

    Alternative rack for Allant+ 8

    Great report/instruction on how to mount the Topeak Rack and MTX Bag. I have an Allant 9.9 and wanted to do the same thing- same rack, same bag, and found the PeterBurn.com blog here https://peterburn.com/trek-allant-bicycle-rack-installation/

    Hitch Rack for 2 Allant+ 7s

    No, did not/have not moved license place. I feel that my tail lights are an important safety item, and as long as you drive safely with your stop lights & turn signals visible,, the popo are not going to be interested in your license plate - at least not in my area of the US.

    Replacing My Schwalbe G-One Tires?

    Schwalde makes great tires and for the life of me I can not figure out why so many eBike manufacturers put the knobby Schwalbe's on their eBikes? Their knobby ones came on my eBike several years ago and I got about 4500 miles out of them riding 95% of the time on pavement. Then I switched to...

    Hitch Rack for 2 Allant+ 7s

    12v Magnetic Tail Lights is what we use - they mount just abouot anywhere on your rack.. Got um from Harbor Freight and they work great - the magnets are super strong. Amazon has them also, but I liked the ones from Harbor Freight better...

    Hitch Rack for 2 Allant+ 7s

    I just posted this on another hitch rack question, and will add that the Thule EZ Fold is also a great rack as I have seen one used recently carrying eBikes. There are now LOTS of hitch racks that will support eBikes as long as you have a 2" receiver. I had a RAD for 3 years as did a friend and...

    Hitch rack for Allant+

    There are now LOTS of hitch racks that will support eBikes as long as you have a 2" receiver. I had a RAD for 3 years as did a friend and I bought a cheap Hollywood Rack off of eBay and it carried both of our eBikes fine on both local and long trips. I recently purchased a Trek Allant 9.9, and...

    2019 Rad Rover range / speed on throttle only

    I have gone 32 miles on my 2019 RadCity, throttle only (ie . no peddling) and all on level ground as I live in south Florida where there are no hills -16 miles out and 16 miles back. While coming back the last 4/5 blocks to my home I had one bar left and could only do 8 mph WOT. :oops:

    Let's talk Lights..

    Just got a Nestling off of eBay. Great little light that is 3-4 times brighter than the light that comes with the Rad. I have aimed the Rad light a little down to light the area immediately in front of my bike, and the Nestling lights up way ahead of where I am riding. Amazon also has them...

    Three High Pitch Dings While Riding

    Thanks for the reply's, but it definitely was not the sound loose spokes make. Plus, I checked and tightened all of the spokes when I assembled the bike, and then again at 100 miles and again at 200 miles. The sound was definitely an electronic noise so I knew it had to be something powered by...

    Three High Pitch Dings While Riding

    Has anyone experienced hearing 3 high pitch dings/beeps while riding - no not a joke (and I have not been drinking! o_O ). When I am riding my new RadCity either on the street or off road I get 3 dings in succession, ding-ding-ding. The sound happens intermittenly every 10 minutes or so and...

    Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 and Radwagon

    I would think that there would not be much demand for a rack/carrier that would carry 2 RadWagons.

    New here, but have been reading on the forum for a few months and looking at the Rad and Magnum brands. both of which are priced within my budget.
