It’s optional. I’ll continue charging to 100%, so I don’t suffer from range anxiety. Same reason I often carry the range extender needlessly. 😊

I use the Garmin Varia as well. It’s a bummer that you’re getting false alarms. I bought mine last Spring, and have never noticed a false alarm. I’m not sure how long the battery lasts….my longest rides are never over about 4 hours of actual riding, and rarely more than about 2 hours if on...

Well, that sucks! How many miles did you have on each of your motors before they failed?

I’ve not had my Creo updated yet, as I’ve been reluctant for this very reason. I did have my Allant+ updated when Bosch released an update that significantly increased the torque, as I thought that would be worthwhile (and it was, due to the bike’s weight). Ironically, the Allant+ sits in my...

Says the man who would know! That was quite a story, and I loved how it was settled.

The same type of irrelevant threads are also popping up on my favorite boating site recently. It’s winter, it’s been raining a LOT on the U.S. west coast, and some of us have too much downtime. 😊 By the way, I drove by a local casino yesterday, and saw they’re advertising an upcoming Air Supply...

Uhh, this is kind of a big deal. There are less expensive versions as well. https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/road-bikes/performance-road-bikes/domane/domane-slr/domane-slr-9/p/36742/?colorCode=black_grey

Haha! I remember skipping school and playing pinball with House of the Rising Sun playing on the jukebox. Fond memories! 🙂

Yeah, one step toward the social credit system. Fortunately, I’m old and will likely be gone before it’s fully instituted. 😂

I’m looking at new trucks currently, and planning on pulling the trigger soon. I considered an EV, but decided it’s too soon for me. Hopefully an ICE vehicle won’t bite me in the ass in 5 years, but I really think I’ll be just fine. One thing I know is that the infrastructure wouldn’t satisfy my...

Ok, no Led Zeppelin, but that’s still a solid list! I like your musical taste. Like @DaveMatthews said, it’s subjective as heck anyway.

Best? That would be either the Beatles, as they were the most innovative band ever and were constantly changing it up, or Led Zeppelin, who took the blues to another level. Like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin did a lot of musical experimentation, often bringing in the sounds of various cultures...

I haven’t had the update done on my Creo yet, but I’ve never experienced a power loss as you’ve described.

My first ebike was a Trek Allant+ 9.9S, which weighed a bit over 50 lbs. I went from that to a Creo, which as the OP knows weighs about 27 lbs. It may be comparing apples to oranges, as those two bikes are different in many ways, but the Creo is far more nimble, which I think is in part due to...

We spent a few days in Sonoma one summer. The day we left, it was over 80F in Sonoma. We stopped by Fisherman’s Wharf before heading to the airport, and it was foggy and in the 40’s there. That was quite a shock to us Washingtonians in our shorts and t-shirts!

Yeah, black ice is no fun. I’m a fair-weather rider, so no risk for me on a bike, but I once hit black ice on on a highway at 55mph while on my way to go skiing (Crystal Mountain via 410, for you Washington folks), and it was “interesting”. Fortunately, there was no oncoming traffic and I was...

Man, that can happen so easily. I stepped on wet leaves on a sloped driveway last week, and fell on my butt. No bike necessary. I hope you have a speedy recovery, @Eric0976!

Our Ridgeback is only 6 months old, so maybe she’ll settle down. But I’m not sure I’ll ever want to take that chance. I’d hate to see my wife crash because the trailer tipped. I ride a Creo, so there’ll be no towing with my bike.

My brother lived there for 20 years, then later for several more, so I’ve had many opportunities to visit Juneau. We didn’t get out on the water, but hiked a bit and fished some streams for trout. Not as exciting as a big halibut or salmon, but definitely a good time. Mostly we partied when I...

I sort of did that trip in reverse in 2012, when my brother was moving back to the lower 48. We started with a ferry ride from Juneau to Skagway. The next day we drove to Whitehorse and toured the riverboat. I don’t remember what else we did, but I do recall we wasted most of the day there, so...
