Hello, you're right a second or dual battery set up may be necessary to go 60 miles. Since you have a Trek shop nearby you could ask to test ride a Trek Allant+ 7 with the optional range boost dual battery. However since you want to keep the price down you may like to check out the Specialized...

Also the kick lock is part of the motor and needs the phone app talking to the bike controller to unlock, presumably if/when the controller fails disabling the alarm that part could be removed/drilled out. If the e-shifter fails I think a new IGH hub is required to use a manual shifter...

I don't know if Charlie was sole proprietor, or if he was in partnership whether his business partner does not want to buy out the business. This announcement is from someone on staff so it looks as though DC has lost its largest independent e-bike dealer. The DC resident e-bike rebate bill...
