    E bikes with a full range of gears

    I must correct myself, it's the Evo City Wave, still a nice bike and DW can't wait to try it out. I bought myself an Xduro Trekking last year and love it. We're heading down to New England in June for a cycling holiday, I haven't done that in 30 years.

    E bikes with a full range of gears

    I picked up an Evo Street model on sale for under $2k US. I had it shipped to a UPS store close to the border, drove down, picked it up and paid the HST when I brought it back to Canada. It cost $100 to have a lbs assemble it; all-in price, around $3k Canadian......now if the snow would only...

    thoughts/suggestions on bike work stands

    If you go to Amazon and search on ATV lifts you will get some choices. You will probably have to build some sort of cradle to hold the bike and perhaps a ramp but it should be doable. Macky

    Greetings from the North Woods of Canada

    I've been an avid cyclist all my life, but as I got older I found the hills getting steeper. Last summer I bought a Haibike Xduro Trekking, and am now looking at an Evo City Wave for DW. I can't believe how much I enjoy cycling again, we're looking at going to Bar Harbor this June to do some...
